| Lola Lamour - Double Agent |
Release Date: Out Now
Lola Lamour and her occasional
band the Lamours have a unique sound for 2015 although it borrows hugely from
the 1940s so it's not that unique in the grand scheme of things. Unique or not,
however, it is definitely glamorous and that is certainly something to
celebrate these days. This single, 'Double Agent', is taken from a new EP and
it's a saucy little number made almost entirely of silk. Low and dirty guitar
and bass are draped in Miss Lamour's smooth voice while the drums jab along to
keep things swinging. The thoughtful use of a horn section adds in a sense of
authenticity but there is some that irks me about this track. Musically it
proficient and has a good sense of fun but if this was a Eurovision entry it
wouldn't sound out of place which, for me, means there is a little too much
novelty in there for my liking. Still, put me in a room with this band playing
and everyone in period dress and I would swing with the best of them so it's
not all bad.
