RISING ARTIST - AlunaGeorge
While Brooklyn keeps cranking out bands or the "the next big thing" like it serves PBR's, across the pond in London they are still showing they can not only keep up with what is cool in America, but create the blueprint of how American acts will do it. With that, meet AlunaGeorge a British duo making R&B, grime, indie and blending it all so perfectly - think Erykah Badu or Frank Ocean fronting Dirty Projectors laid out over grime beats. The duo, made of Aluna Francis and George Reid have been making a splash in their native land since 2011, but it is not until now where they are starting to emerge here in the U.S. thanks to the release of their EP You Know You Like It. While their music is something you can dance to or something you can have on when making love, it is something to be admired. Take a listen for yourself...
