  • Evie Irie – Little More Love

    No doubt this girl has a voice. She reminds me of Sting’s daughter who used to go by the artist named, ‘I Blame Coco’. Positive message in the track and production is stellar. The song is well crafted and has a nice melody. The video is all inclusive and shares the positive message of the track.

    VERSE
    Take a hit it’ll help you calm down
    I know that you’re tired
    Don’t you wanna be one of the cool kids now
    One of the cool kids now
    
    Get a grip everybody gets around
    Pull that dress a little higher
    Everybody’s doing just a little more now
    Just a little more now
    
    PRE-CHORUS
    Hurry up, hurry up make your choice
    No one’s gonna hear your voice
    All of this anxiety Creeping up inside of me, stop
    
    CHORUS
    We just need a little more love 
    People taking care of each other
    You’re my sister, you are my brother
    Yeah we just need a little more love 
    Starve the hate and feed the kindness
    Put all of the fear behind us
    
    We just need a little more love, love
    Just a little more x3
    
    VERSE
    Everybody knows that boys don’t cry
    Just keep it all inside you
    You don’t want to show no one your weakness now
    Cause it’s not allowed
    
    They laugh at what you’re wearing
    And it’s way overdone
    Now your holding back tears, while you’re holding a gun
    If anyone would listen, even just one
    Think of what could be done x2
    
    CHORUS
    We just need a little more love 
    People taking care of each other
    You’re my sister, you are my brother
    Yeah we just need a little more love 
    Starve the hate and feed the kindness
    Put all of the fear behind us
    
    We just need a little more love, love
    Just a little more x3
    
    BRIDGE
    Shine your light
    Cause you never know
    Who’s in the darkness
    Please don’t be heartless
    
    Shine your light
    Cus only heaven knows
    When someone’s hurtin’
    It’s always worth it
    
    CHORUS
    
    
  • TTRRUUCES – The Disco

    This disco is apparently in the Caribbean with a rock guitar. The rhythm on this is has a tropical vibe and is accented with disco string stabs. The song is catchy, has a solid beat and overall fun vibe to it. I can hear quite a bit of Micheal Jackson influence on this track from how the vocals are sung to the Caribbean beat. Of course, there is the classic disco sound of lasers on this track as well, which reminds me of Lipps Inc. – Funky Town

    Lyrics:
    
    You say you love me but then you don't answer the phone
    Saturday night at the disco you're dancing alone 
    
    You were never convinced by what your mama would say
    And she'll never forgive you no way-o
    She said boy you better work all day
    'cause you're every night at the disco
    
    Boy - you're every night at the disco
  • Yelle – Karate

    Back with another Yelle track and video. Yelle not only consistently produces great tracks but they always seem to find a simple premise to build a music video with. This time out, we are in the Dojo of dance. And lead singer Julie Budet (aka Yelle) is in red to contrast the with Dojo dancer in white. Was hoping for a dance showdown at some point, which didn’t happen but the video is entertaining nonetheless.

    As for the tune itself, it’s rooted in a Hip Hop vibe of old. Has elements of house like the synth bassline and the keyboard chord stabs. The love on this track for me is the last minute or so of the track with that heartfelt synth lead line that drops around the 2:20 mark. Just another great track from the massive catalog of Yelle. The main line of the track is:

    “Ton kimono est un pyjama” which translates to “Your kimono is a pyjama”.
