Ever since La Roux, Europe has been steadily cranking out singer/producer duos. That’s a joke, but the latest singer/producer to cross the pond is AlunaGeorge, a British group composed of singer Aluna Francis and producer George Reid. It’s tempting to compare them to Quadron, but if you resist the urge, you realize that they’re quite a different kind of act. Aluna‘s voice sounds much more fragile than Coco O‘s. That’s not to say that she has a weak voice. Aluna masterfully controls it, yet it tremors in a way that keeps you on edge. Another memorable aspect of Aluna‘s voice is how distinctly British it is. It’s interesting how many British singers sound like they could be from anywhere.

Of course, Aluna‘s vocals aren’t  the noteworthy feature of Body Music. George‘s productions are viscerally compelling, ranging from pulsating bass to murky garage to joyful synthpop and much more. The “This is How We Do It” remix is definitely recommendation. We’ll have a proper review in the near future, but in the meantime, we’re going to just sit back and let the music talk to us. You should do the same; a free stream is below.
