AlunaGeorge - You Know You Like It


Firstly an apology.  Despite this track being around for quite some time, it appears to have fallen under our radar.  But fear not - with exposure increasing recently, AlunaGeorge are hopefully set for chart success.

That's right, AlunaGeorge aren't in fact one person, but London duo Aluna Francis (vocals) and George Reid (production).  Francis's vocals are quietly soulful with a distinct cockney twang, her lyrics typically provocative.  Reid's efforts, meanwhile, offer a futuristic take on pop-RnB.  The stuttering 2step beat of You Know You Like It is infectious, with bounding bass rhythms, glittering synths and a glorious middle eight breakdown.

Slickly produced RnB plus memorable, commercially appealing chorus, equals one hell of a sexy track.

4/5
