I recently received the new One eskimO CD for review. One eskimO is a critically-acclaimed English band fronted by singer-songwriter Kristian Leonitiou and includes musicians Pete Rinaldi (guitar), Jamie Sefton (bass, horns) and Adam Falkner (drums). They currently have the #1 adult alternative song called 'Kandi' which you may have already heard since it's the most played song on all adult rock radio four weeks and counting.
Billboard Magazine calls One eskimO's self-titled debut album "...catchy, ambient pop." and Los Angeles Times Magazine hails the song "Kandi" a beautiful. aspirational track." The album is available in stores now and the band is on tour May/June/July supporting Michael Franti and in addition to festivals and headlining shows.
My Opinion
I am the kind of person that likes all kind of music and all kinds of genres. I don't usually listen to this type of music, but I decided to give it a try and broaden my horizons. Well, it definitely was different! It was very ambient, electro, and acoustic and sometimes it was hard to understand the words. However, the songs were very catchy and I soon had the songs in my head all day!
I recommend this album to people who like Massive Attack, Snow Patrol, Gomez, or Damien Rice. If you love vibey music that sets the mood to hang out, chill out and tune in, then this new project is for you!
Pros: catchy tunes, #1 adult alternative song
Cons: many of the songs sound very similar, couldn't understand the words of many of the songs
Buy It: You can purchase this album on the One eskimO's website for $9.00
If this CD sounds interesting to you and you want more information, you can watch the "Kandi" video here, check out the band's Facebook, or get a free download of "Astronauts" via Twitter.
