MUSIC: Sid & Sigala – Love Ain’t Kind
I have an obsession with finding new acts and spreading the word about them as if my life will end if I do otherwise. Enter Sid & Sigala, a barely 21 yr. old pop duo from London. What separates them from all the other millions of bands out there (including the one your mom is in)? Well, they can actually write good songs and play their instruments very well….a combination you rarely find especially at that age.
What initially drew me to them was their ability to break down walls of genre by carefully (not forcefully) combining elements of electro-pop, rock, funk, urban, and trance. Sounds like a train wreck on paper but to the ear its eargasmic (see what I did there?). The video above is footage from a recent London gig that they were able deliver to their fans no more than a day after the show. Its good to see young artists with a DIY mentality.
Its safe to say these guys are one to watch in the coming years and please remember who told you first….that’s right, ESM baby. “Take that, take that” *P-Diddy voice*
