On Valide une voix sublime so delicate and smooth classy as hell !

I went to Peru some months ago. And I took this song along with me in the journey. It's incredibly surreal listen to this song while 4300mts above the sea level, on the road to MachuPicchu. Clouds were literally passing me by, but it was this song what made me feel in heaven :)

"Cross My Heart," the debut track from new ANTI- signing Son Little, is a box of bonbons filled with barbed wire.  Over a deceptively slinky groove -- shades of 70's Marvin Gaye, Leon Ware -- the singer croons, phrases emerging from the swelter, "sex and candy," "gonna get me some:" a lover's plea.  But the angular blues guitar lick over the top of the track is clue to a deeper, older invocation, as Son Little's lyrics bear witness to two departed friends, and, inspired by Trayvon Martin, offer a meditation on the ease with which black lives are erased -- even now, decades beyond the years when that smoky guitar line was invented. Son Little's voice soars like a young Stevie Wonder's as he testifies to his loss, and the "cross my heart" tag line reveals itself not as a lover's plea, but a defiant prayer to remember the lost.

The track is accompanied by an atmospheric black-and-white video that evokes the smoky milieus of Lester Young and Billie Holiday, reinforcing the themes of the song in its references to lost greats.

Look for more to come from Son Little in 2014.

Song Of The Day - @bestfitmusic - http://www.thelineofbestfit.com/new-music/song-of-the-day/the-slow-revolt-lean

'The Slow Revolt, has been previously hailed for his flawless contrasting of genres. His newest track “Lean” is another plunge pool into the enchanting sound of beautiful tranquility and lovely layers.

The consistent guitar melody opens the track into a misty landscape of morning dew and seaside freshness, complete with subtle bursts of distorted guitars and a building tension of unpredictable electronica percussion. Mirza’s enchanting vocals bounce beautifully across the layered melodies, building in each bar to a pinnacle of bubbling sounds, changing the scenery from an empty landscape to a busy crossroads of texturised sounds.

Whilst maintaining his soft vocals throughout, the instrumentals in “Lean” carry the textured tension, blending beautifully into a melodic chaos that seems both unnerving and utterly soothing at the same time.'

'Lean' is the first in a series of tracks; experiments, curiosities & versions, culled from ongoing writing sessions.
