The Hisunz – CNTRDCTNS
Dutch singer Emma Barber De Martino and Spanish guitarist Alejandro RomΓ‘n Calvo formed The Hisunz in East London. They wrote and produced their first songs with Emmaβs husband Jules De Martino and Katie White (better known as The Ting Tings).
CNTRDCTNS (βcontradictionsβ) is only their second single, after last yearβs Guilty Man. It combines the melody and creativity from the β60s, the attitude and energy from the β70s, and the βdarkβ and electronic elements from the β80s. A press release describes The Hisunzβ sound as βThe xx mixed with The Strokes with Johnny Marrβesque guitarsβ. A rather spot on description.
The same is true for their new singleβs title. It feels both youthful and nostalgic. The track juxtaposes RomΓ‘nβs emotion filled guitar hooks with Barberβs 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 duoβs upcoming debut EP. One to look out for!
