Kelly Lee Owens has released one of this year's best albums- her self-titled debut is the Piccadilly Records album of the year and they don't usually get it wrong. The album has been near my stereo since it came out, a woozy, spectral head-trip with little melodies emerging from the analogue synths and drum machine, sing-song vocals and extended waves of ambient noise. To finish the year off she has put out a single, a cover of Aaliyah's More Than A Woman, heavy bass and sampled strings, out digitally now and on vinyl soon. The B-side is her own remix of the A-side, a tougher house version with squiggles.
This is on my list but have not heard it all yet.
ReplyDeleteThis is new to me and it sounds great. I sure will investigate for more. Thanks Adam for this inspiration
ReplyDeleteShe did a great version of this a while back I think on Radio One. In my top 3 albums of the year with Earthen Sea and Daniel Brandt.
