The Hisunz – CNTRDCTNS
Dutch singer Emma Barber De Martino and Spanish guitarist Alejandro Romรกn Calvo formed The Hisunz in East London. They wrote and produced their first songs with Emmaโs husband Jules De Martino and Katie White (better known as The Ting Tings).
CNTRDCTNS (โcontradictionsโ) is only their second single, after last yearโs Guilty Man. It combines the melody and creativity from the โ60s, the attitude and energy from the โ70s, and the โdarkโ and electronic elements from the โ80s. A press release describes The Hisunzโ sound as โThe xx mixed with The Strokes with Johnny Marrโesque guitarsโ. A rather spot on description.
The same is true for their new singleโs title. It feels both youthful and nostalgic. The track juxtaposes Romรกnโs emotion filled guitar hooks with Barberโs cool nonchalant vocals. Meanwhile, fast-paced electronic drum tracks make it almost impossible not to dance to this happy/sad tune.
Guilty Man and CNTRDCTNS will both appear on the duoโs upcoming debut EP. One to look out for!
