Editors – “Papillon”

editors

so who gave editors the synthesizer?? really.. Editors’ new single “Papillon” is off their 3rd LP In This Light and On This Evening, and is without a doubt a departure from both The Back Room and An End Has a Start. the track propels Editors into the heavy synth and dance beat territory, which is yet to prove welcoming or not. Maybe a new sound will prove some magic as heard on The Back Room. maybe I’ll run into the band at a dive bar 80’s dance party. and maybe they’ll be partying with depeche mode… while interpol watches jealously in a corner?

Kaye-Ree – “Reality”

kayeree

Kaye-Ree – “Reality”

soul singer kaye-ree “is bringing change by bridging the gap of old and new”, …that bridging of old and new is apparent on the persian-german songstress’ tune “reality”. kaye-ree’s contemporary r&b-informed (and just beautiful) melody is married to the track from cru’s 1997 classic “just another case”; a song itself that samples rhythm’s gorgeous 1976 r&b jam “the world is a place”. that said, it’s right clear to us that kaye-ree comes as advertised; displaying a great taste/feel/literacy for the music that’s come before her.
kaye-ree’s debut record “endless melody” is out now. props to soulbouncefor hipping us to her.
