A combination of two of the most anticipated artists of 2013? Sounds like it makes sense on many levels. I love the sound of Aluna's vocals. There is an almost childlike quality to them, with a sense of innocence to them. The main synth line is lovely and insistent, running consistently through the 4-to-the-floor beat. Once again Disclosure create something that is beautifully retro, but still future-looking. Their last single "Latch" has been classified Silver in the UK. It should be a great year for these two, and they have started it off with a banging track.
I am a few months behind on this track! I think the blend of EDM meeting African style is a beautful combination. The Very Best's second album MTKMTK is well worth a listen and a purchase. This live performance is great too!
The Very Best are a combination between London based DJ/production duo Radioclit and Esau Mwamwaya, a singer from Lilongwe, Malawi.
2nd album. It's meant to be difficult. I remember hearing this track in 2009 and thinking, "Wow, that sounds awesome!" I was not a fan of Jack Penate's first album. But his 2nd album was great. It had such a wide array of influences and there seemed to be such a touch of magic on all the songs, including this slightly Afro-pop feel to this song. However, this album didn't really break him through to the mainstream, despite widespread critical acclaim and now it feels like he has mostly faded from our musical conscious, while Adele who guested on the album... well everyone knows what she has done. It's a shame though. So much more excitement is felt when an artist takes a chance...
