SOMETHING OLD: 'My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)' - En Vogue

The plural vocal powerhouses, shall we call powercity, that is En Vogue. Full to the brim with attitude, sass and the kind of American slick which many since have attempted but never fully achieved. 

'My Lovin' makes you want to strut, makes you want to pout and makes you want to possess a wind machine just to fully encapsulate the oozing appeal of En Vogue's style.

The killer comes during the breakdown. Like the most incredible and credible barbershop harmony you've ever heard, if you don't get it, you're never gonna get it.

SOMETHING NEW: 'Leaving You' - Wolf Alice
Laid back, slack and breathy vocals start this track leading you somewhat mistakenly down the route of a country ballad which travels to this London group with its roots stuck hard in the deep south of America. But once the drums and slide guitar kick in, although still strong to those more country roots, it provides a fresh sound in the confidence defiance of leaving.
Not your average sad, blues, 'I'm a-leavin' the maaaayn' (my best raw accent there) but an anthem in strength 'I'm leaving you, it's been a long time coming'.


Three guys and a girl make up Wolf Alice and far from being country charlatans from the Big Smoke, it's worth checking out new single 'Fluffy', released next month. More rocky and almost reminiscent of those great bands of the 90s, proving girl-fronted guitar bands still rock.
