Who are these guys?
It's like a good news/bad news joke on the iTMS. The good news is
that there's more and more obscure and unusual music on the store with
every passing week. The bad is that sometimes the music is so
obscure, and the iTMS so lacking in context, that all you have is the
music. And that's what we have here: a vocal quartet (I'm guessing
from the cover) doing some unusual covers of pop tunes. And I have
to say that The Carpenters or Captain & Tennille never sounded better
than at the start of this album's
Mix
the Hits, which moves from
Yesterday
Once More to
Do
That to Me One More Time to Roberta Flack's
Killing
Me Softly and beyond.
But again I ask: who are these guys? Even my trusty Google skills
come up mostly empty: one measly listing for the album on a
South
African music store, which has little more information than the
iTMS. They categorize Sexy as Afrikaans; is that
right? Is this the new sound of South Africa? Quite a change from
Ladysmith
Black Mambazo.
