Remember Neneh Cherry? Chances are if you’re under 30
probably not. No matter. She was an in yer face bundle of rapitude and,
happily, quarter of a century later she ain’t lost that spirit. Covering a
Madvillain/MF Doom track against a bit of a free jazz background isn’t likely
to guarantee a smash hit but I rate this...big time. The new album The Cherry Thing is out on June
18th on Smalltown Supersound. Niiiiice.
This couldn’t be more ‘80’s if you glued it to a DeLorean
with bits of melted down Rubik’s Cubes. Age Of Consent’s Heartbreak wears
its influences proudly, the Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Soft Cell...it’s all in there.
Ahhhhh...makes me feel young again...well youngish.
Regular readers will know all about my man crush on Norway’s
Team Me. Their latest single only goes to reinforce
it...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...blissful.
Sooooo...electro and rockabilly hook up in a low rent motel
and do the nasty...9 months later out pops Drop The Lime. It’s a weird mix but,
ya know, I kinda like weird.
Last up for this edition of everyone's favourite New Music Roundup Thingy, Manchester soul sista Lauren Housley debuting tracks from her forthcoming debut EP One Step Closer. Lovin’
the lush strings n’soul of See My Baby Cry...
