I am currently streaming the new\u00a0<strong>Slow Knights<\/strong>\u00a0release, <strong>\u201cCosmos.\u201d<\/strong> The compilation is lead by <strong>Scissor Sisters<\/strong> guitarist <strong>Del Marquis<\/strong>. It features \u00a0<strong>Bright Light Bright Light<\/strong>\u2018s\u00a0<strong>Rod Thomas<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Chrissie Poland<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Bridget Barkan<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0 one of my new favorite voices <strong>Xavier Smith<\/strong>. The line, \u201cWe use to sing about love, now we sing about money. It\u2019s a shame,\u201d packs a powerful punch in the opening tune as sung by the Brooklyn singer. \u00a0The lyrics set the tone for the album which is an ode to classic rhythms and strong pop vocals. The following track, <strong>\u201cShame\u201d<\/strong> left me speechless. \u00a0I think we can all agree that passionate male vocals are hard to find in contemporary pop music. The magic truly transforms your speakers when a\u00a0few <strong>Kraftwerk<\/strong> sounding synths fade in.<\/p>\n<p>If you were feeling disappointed by pop&#8217;s failing comebacks, Slow Knights<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>can fill your void (minus the million dollar baby photos and conspiracy theories)<strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>&#8220;Cosmos&#8221;<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0undeniably\u00a0a smash from beginning to end hitting on every angle of music. It takes us on a musical\u00a0ride\u00a0featuring elements of pop, rock and soul. The r&amp;b tune, <strong>\u201cSweet Harmony\u201d<\/strong> takes you back to a time when <strong>Marvin Gaye<\/strong> and <strong>Tammi Terrell<\/strong>\u00a0once played on radio stations everywhere. The album achieves such a classic sound that I left thinking, \u201cIf it\u2019s not broke, repurpose it.\u201d Thank you!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=W8IC9CSr01A&#038;offerid=146261&#038;type=3&#038;subid=0&#038;tmpid=1826&#038;RD_PARM1=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Falbum%252Fcosmos%252Fid598397401%253Fuo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30\" target=\"itunes_store\"style=\"display:inline-block;overflow:hidden;background:url(http:\/\/linkmaker.itunes.apple.com\/htmlResources\/assets\/images\/web\/linkmaker\/badge_itunes-lrg.png) no-repeat;width:110px;height:40px;@media only screen{background-image:url(http:\/\/linkmaker.itunes.apple.com\/htmlResources\/assets\/images\/web\/linkmaker\/badge_itunes-lrg.svg);}\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F83569323\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I feel like a teenager again listening to a new album on a Tuesday evening.
