It's the Supersound

Christopher Norman is back with a new release from his forthcoming “EP 3 “.   This time around, it’s a warm mid tempo track showcasing his velvet smooth voice (think Damon Albarn [Gorillaz front man] in tone).  Love the balance of electronic tones with the  more  traditional classical elements, such as the piano and strings, a lovely balance indeed.

Christopher Norman – Connect Me

Connect Me by misternorman

 

Lyrics:

[verse 1]
room alight with sparks
running up the wall / more static left to discharge
diffusing it quietly
i know how it feels to be
stuck living inside your head
chasing words that were never said

[chorus]
baby I can feel the voltage running through my skin
come on and tap into the current i’m generating
down through every node
my circuits overload with all this energy

heart racing / without a sound
every wall around you coming down
take a look at me / plug it in and see
how it works when you connect me

[verse 2]
none of your transmissions getting free
you’re out of time / no charge left in your battery
all of this resistance in your way
with no power you’ll decay
don’t you know I’m calling you all the time?
nothing but noise to hear on your line

[chorus]

“Video Games” is just one of those songs, man. One of those songs that’ll fuck you up if you listen while in the wrong state of mind; the wrong place emotionally. And despite it’s almost overbearing weight, there’s a shadow of sarcasm in Lana Del Rey‘s voice that makes you think she’s just playing antagonist and poking fun at how stale communication between people can get. Maybe that’s the point, maybe I’m reading too much into it, I don’t know. All I know is I dig the vibe and I dig JMLYN‘s remix equally as much.

We posted his “All of Yet” tune late last year and I have to say that I’m really into his style. I don’t want to start spouting off a bunch of stupid sub-sub-sub-genres, but I’ll just say that it’s very “glitchy”. Take that how you will and stream his LDR interpretation below.

'How Deep Is Your Love' is a song title claimed by multiple bands. Most recently, The Rapture took it for the lead single from their latest album In The Grace Of Your Love. Its a fun fact to note that self-proclaimed bad boys of late 90s R&B, Dru Hill (which also happens to be a park in Baltimore that the band are named after) also lay ownership to the song title. "Sisqó and I are from the same state," Gabriel Andruzzi, the band's multi-instrumentalist (and the best goddamn cow-bell dinger I've ever seen) announces. "And actually, I was at dinner next to Dru Hill two nights ago." 
 
Last night they played the newest shiniest jewel in São Paulo's venues, Cine Joia. And now seems the perfect time to share the interview we did with Gabe, where he shares his thoughts on Sisqó, frustration surrounding the bands evolution and what he's going to do about being scared shitless to be one of those ageing rocker bros.
 
Since the unexpected announcement of the release of another album, it's been well documented that The Rapture have spent the past few years getting through and getting over lots of stuff. Births, deaths, break-ups, make-ups and finally, an album produced by Philippe Zdar that deals with it all. 'It all' being any number of the hurts and resentments that happened which in turn, enabled the band to find some redemption and acceptance enough to make an album themed with that very process. It's been greeted critically with mixed reviews, but regardless of what people think, the boys are happy with the record. And so they should be.
