Currently Listening to…
There are two albums that I am currently listing to quite frequently.
The first is “Ray Guns Are Not Just The Future” by The Bird And The Bee. I have been listening to their LPs but this is the first full album they have released that I know of. What I love about the duo is the absolutely magical voice of Inara George which is layered all over each of the tracks. Many people would know the duo from their single “Fucking Boyfriend” that was remixed a couple years ago into a dance single. Most recently “Polite Dance Song” has been hitting the airwaves accompanied by a great video clip.
Secondly an album that is just fresh off the press is the new Lily Allen album “It’s Not Me, It’s You” which is the hotly anticipated follow up to her debut “Alright, Still”. I am loving all the songs on this, especially the tracks “Everyone’s At It”, “The Fear”, “22″, “I Could Say” and “Fuck You” which was originally titled “Guess Who Batman” when originally released. As with “Alright, Still”, Lily sings about some depressing subjects but with music and style that sugests otherwise.
There is also a connection with The Bird And The Bee with the new Lily Allen album. Greg Kurstin, the other half of The Bird And The Bee is the producer for most of the songs.
