So, speaking of synthesizer....New to the Brit electropop scene, Little Boots, released her debut album, Hands, yesterday. I haven't had a chance to catch the full thing but from what I've heard and seen, its going to be worth investing in.
Recently getting kick ass reviews from SXSW and winning BBC Sound of 2009 (Adele won in 2008),its crazy to think that the small chanteuse started out not too long ago by posting YouTube videos of herself. Unlike other pop princesses like Lady Gaga, shes got a crazy mixed musical background as a classical pianist and a club dj.
Proof of her skills, check out one of those youtube videos that made her famous: A cover of Kid Cudi's Day N Nite
Her album tunes have a mix of synthesizer, stylophone, electo-beats, piano and her utlra special Tenori-On (a Japanese electrical instrument)
So plug in those earbuds and hit the play on her first single that was released at the end of April:
i'm so glad you started this. this is exactly what i need! i'm diving more into music but am clueless as to who's good unless it's served up on the radio. thanks!!
