Erasure’s New Album ‘The Neon’ Takes Us To Wherever We Want To Be

August 21, 2020

Out today via Mute Records, Erasure’s album, ‘The Neon’, could be just as easily be a trip back in time, as much as it’s a contemporary album. It’s all about how you view it. Those of a certain age might be transported to the days of neon fingerless gloves, teased up hair like birds’ nests, and stirrup pants and Doc Martens (brogues or boots – your choice), paired with oversized painter shirts. But then again, it’s very much a contemporary album, touching on very modern themes. A lot of the issues of the 80s are revisited – albeit in slightly different form – today, and albums like ‘The Neon’ are what we needed then, and now, to take our minds off those things.

August 18, 2020

In Ginny Luke’s hands the violin becomes a daring and bold statement piece, and with ‘Love Hypocrisy’ she unleashes an urgency and power as she reclaims her sexuality on her own terms. Ginny’s lightning flash electric violin solo and her oh so sultry vocals, are combined on ‘Love Hypocrisy’ with the mesmerising rock guitars, and Moog synth bass. The production gives it a creepy – yet sexy – alt pop feel, while at the same time it elicits rock undertones.

Bakir Floyd – ‘2 A.M.’

August 18, 2020

Music flows through the veins of Newark New Jersey native Bakir Floyd. The son of a member of Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit, he grew up trying to imitate his talented dad, who exposed him from an early age to rapping and singing, and he came up with his own tunes to perform. Growing up saw him pursue other interests, such as studying engineering at the University of Villanova, but music was always in the background, a flickering ember waiting for the right opportunity to spark into flame. Sure enough, Floyd is now making a name for himself with his music, and his hit song, ‘2 AM’.
