Sometimes it’s two o’clock in the morning, like it is right now in London, and your eardrums need a pick-me-up.
...Or a sucker punch. Check out PowerSolo, a Danish rockabilly punk duo that sounds kind of like Green Day might if they didn’t get old and start writing Broadway musicals. Also, like all good punk rockers, the boys aren’t afraid to get naked for the sake of an album cover.
...Or have a listen to Nigerian-born, Germany-based rising soul star Nneka who crosses continents musically as easily as she does physically. Mixing the emotional transparency of Lauryn Hill with her African influences, Nneka makes music that presents her as both a fresh voice and a positive political force. Catch a show...she'll be in London tomorrow - April 28 - at Scala.
Goodnight.
