Love Echo are a duo consisting of Vic Miranda and Vicki Glass - and they've just released a new cover of The Cure's 'The Love Cats'! Vic provides the dreamy sounds and production and Vicki provides the equally dreamy vocals. The band list the title as just one word - 'Lovecats' and it's only the second song/ single that the duo has released, following 'We' which came out in May.
The Cure released 'The Love Cats' as a single in 1983 - it became their first top ten single it the U.K. - and it later appeared on their compilation of early singles and b-sides called 'Japanese Whispers'. While the lyrics are completely intact on Love Echo's version - they're delivered in a much more sultry fashion - and the music has an altogether different feel.
There's no jazzy bits or any of Robert Smith's 'bah bat da buh's - just the hypnotic piano over a slow beat with some additional atmospheric synths. It's quite the transformation really - it's a lullaby now - not to be confused with The Cure song called 'Lullaby'!
SummersRadio™ New Remix! The Japanese Popstars featuring Robert Smith - 'Take Forever' (The Deadstock 33's Remix) The Japanese Popstars are a band from Northern Ireland that are releasing a new remix EP on Oct. 18th! The EP is for the latest single from their second album called 'Controlling Your Allegiance' which was released in June. 'Take Forever' is the third single released from the album, and it features the vocals of The Cure's Robert Smith!
The 'Take Forever' EP will feature five tracks - the original plus four new remixes. This is the new remix from Deadstock 33 - aka Justin Robertson - with the 'Deadstock 33's Remix'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Remix! Jahcoozi - 'Close To Me' (Milanese Remix) Jahcoozi are a trio based in Berlin consisting of 'two beat-freak producers/multi-instrumentalists' Teuton Robot Koch and Tel-Aviv born Oren Gerlitz - and London-born, Sri Lankan songwriter and vocalist Sasha Perera. They released their third full length album called 'Barefoot Wanderer' last year on the BPitch Control label - and now they've released a new remix album called 'Nearly Naked: BareFoot Wanderer Remixes'! It contains 15 remixes including one of their cover of The Cure's 1985 classic 'Close To Me' from their album 'The Head On The Door'. This is the 'Milanese Remix' of 'Close To Me'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Rarity! Junkie XL featuring Robert Smith - 'Perfect Blue Sky' Robert Smith's latest collaboration with Crystal Castles is by no means his first foray into electronic music - in 2004 he recorded 'Da Hype' with Junior Jack as well as a remix of 'A Forest' with Blank & Jones. My favorite of his electronic collaborations is probably the least known - a track he co-wrote (and sang vocals on) with Junkie XL in 2003 - no doubt due in part to the fact that the cd it's from 'Radio JXL: A Broadcast From The Computer Hell Cabin' is now out of print. The only clip I could find was on Soundcloud BUT please note that this song and the original album is still available for purchase on itunes for cheap ($9.99 for 19 tracks - it also includes songs with Dave Gahan, Peter Tosh, Gary Numan and Chuck D)... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ New Music! Crystal Castles featuring Robert Smith - 'Not In Love' Robert Smith covers an 80's hit... by Platinum Blonde!?! Yes, it's true, in a roundabout way. Crystal Castles recorded 'Not In Love' from their latest self-titled album with member/ producer Ethan Kath on vocals, but they are releasing a new version of it as their next single - featuring The Cure's Robert Smith on vocals! The song was originally written and performed by Platinum Blonde in 1983 (for those who weren't born yet they were sometimes referred to as Canada's 'Duran Duran') - the song reached the top 20 when it was released as their fourth single from their debut album in '84. I wonder if Robert knew... Enjoy!
