Music Monday – Late Night Alumni

Music Monday is one of those hashtags (#musicmonday) that have popped up on Twitter recently and knowing that I’ve let this section of my blog go recently I think it’s time to get back onto this and sort it out. I love music, I really do and here I share that passion for quality music with you!

Late Night Alumni
I’m really impressed with this soma FM and last.fm recommend and really am a sucker for cute music. A downtempo, house, electronic group from America, who have that perfect formula of catchy melodic sounds, loops, blips, atmospheric vibes all topped off with lush husky almost european female vocalist. Perfect for a warm up to a night out, a wind down from a hectic day, it’s great road trip music and awesome for watching birds, bees and butterflies fly next to your train. This is nice music!

It’s intelligent dance music, is what it is and comes with a fit bird with a lush voice! Perfect for those summer holidays and BBQ’s that are in the calendar!

I’m not gonna beat around the bush here, it’s the female vocalist that has my attention! Becky Jean Williams is perhaps the element of this music that grabs you first and of course it’s all back by blissful sounds, that aren’t too harsh, but don’t fade into the background either. An album was released September 2009, Of Birds, Bees, Butterflies, etc; featuring these two tracks. Anyone remember Milky – Just the Way You Are? Well I thought that was a once in a lifetime cheesy-song-that-lee-goes-crazy-for moment, but LNA have recaptured that space somewhere between catchy pop, cheap cheesy wiggles from ASDA and serious scene music and made it their own.

I must also mention I’ve fallen in love with an online radio station from SomaFM called Lush, which plays nothing but this sort of music, from LNA to Frou Frou, yes it’s all about electronic bliss, with superb females.
