A lot of bands meet as kids at school. Others come together after an over-enthusiastic conversation about music at some random party. Aluna Francis and George Reid however, met through the internet.
While their online encounter is more MySpace than Match.com, it was in fact through a mutual respect for each other's work that led them to go on to form AlunaGeorge. Now together for just barely a year, the talented duo have been churning out a series of infectious mixes which fuse Francis' sweet vocal harmonies with the hushed electronic stylings courtesy of Reid.
Having already caught the attention of Rob da Bank who championed their initial collaboration Sweetheart on Radio 1; they've since succeeded in initially tapping the American market having had a track featured in the US series of Skins earlier this year. Now this month sees the release of their debut AA single Analyser/ We Are Chosen, two impressively mastered melodies of sensual synths complemented by Francis' contagious vocals which evoke notions of the likes of Shanks and Bigfoot, yet at the same time remain utterly unique.
Kaleidoscope Love
AlunaGeorge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things in a different light
Things that are wrong or right
You and me making
Chemical equations
Deadly combinations
Dangerous situations
Running out in the magic of the night
Stepping out of these restless days of disappointed haze
And it's all I want to be
And it's all I want to do
Cause nothing else makes me weightless
Like your light reflecting gaze
I don't think you even realize
What you do
What you do
I'm crystallized
Cause your my
Kaleidoscope love
Kaleidoscope love
I'm crystallized
Cause your my
Kaleidoscope love
Kaleidoscope love
I think about you all the time
You're in the atmosphere
I try to touch your silhouette
Even though I know that you would never hear
Shadows and waves
But there's no more fear
I just don't get enough
Stepping out of these restless days of disappointed haze
I don't think you even realize
What you do
What you do
You show me
Things in a different light
Things that are wrong or right
You and me making
Chemical equations
Deadly combinations
Dangerous situations
Running out in the magic of the night
Running out in the night
In the night
Running out in the night

Will forever love Kaytra’s kick. It’s so subtle yet it knocks hard and lets it’s presence be know. Always gonna love Kaytra’s timeless jams.

Sounds like he uses a boombap hiphop kick instead of a house drum machine kick.

Last year when I was on a Roadtrip with my friends we stopped at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah and I brought a speaker out there and no joke I BLASTED this song for an hour straight dancing my soul away while I was high on weed and the sun was setting. One of the most memorable experiences of my life.

If I had to choose one word to describe Kaytranada's musical style, it would be 'chic'. His production is so elegant and polished.

I LOVE IT.
