New Music Mondays....FRENCH HORN REBELLION

Happy Monday Music Lovers,

Summer's fading slowly, and fall is quickly approaching. As we change seasons I want to bring you a duo that can keep you dancing in summer and keep your feet moving and a smile on your face through the coming seasons. French Horn Rebellion is Robert and David Perlick-Molinari - two brothers born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In Brooklyn, NY, in 2007, younger brother Robert, an accomplished French horn player, found himself principal chair for the horn section of the prestigious Northwestern University Symphony Orchestra. Standing at a crossroads, frustrated with the demands that mastery of such an instrument required, and knowing that the instrument would not allow him to fully express himself, he finally asked his brother, David, to rebel with him and together they embarked on a lifelong creative journey.

They set up shop in the arts / music hub in Brooklyn. I was not long before the French Horn Rebellion began to impact the NY music scene. David engineered and produced for the genre parallel MGMT, but in 2007 French Horn Rebellion released a self titled independent album. In 2011 the duo released The Infinite Music of French Horn Rebellion on Once Upon A Time/V2 Records.

This duo is different, fresh, funny, fun, and talented. There really is no way you can NOT dance and feel happy when hearing tracks from this them. So enjoy our last sentiments of summer; gaze at the sunlight and turn up my two favorite tracks for French Horn Rebellion.

I will see you next week with my new music obsession.

New Music Mondays....Selah Sue

Selah Sue (born Sanne Putseys, May 3, 1989) is a Belgian musician and songwriter. Blazing onto the scene with her debut album, Selah Sue (2011,) she was a major success, selling over 400,000 copies in Europe,with 200,000 in France alone. Today, she has chart success with the hit singles "Raggamuffin, ""Crazy Vibes," and "This World". Previous to "Selah Sue." her first EP was released in 2008, under the title Black Part Love. It contains five songs.

When she was seventeen a Belgian producer asked her to sing some demos of his songs, after which Universal offered her a contract. She refused, because she wanted to sing her own songs. Selah Sue often covers songs of Erykah Badu and The Zutons, but she does has assembled a whole range of her own songs. Two of her well-known songs are "Mommy" and "Black part love," both of which are carried out acoustically.

She says her influences are Lauryn Hill, M.I.A. and Erykah Badu. You can hear a lot of these artists' influence in her record. Selah is soul music, reggae music, singer songwriter style with a dash of jazz, and it is quite refreshing and unlike many artists who enter the industry at her age.

I must give a shout out to Daymaker Susan Pack for turning me onto this extraordinary artist. I hope you enjoy my two favorite tracks "This World" and "Raggamuffin" and i will see you next week with a New Music Obsession.
