Today’s song is “In My Room” by EnnieLoud. The Wood Green, North London band consists of Cassandra (lead vocals, multi instrumentalist), and Beeoff (launch pad, syntesizers, drum machine), and Ross (guitar, bass, drum).
The track is a love song to the multiculturalism and many-faceted lives playing out in the North London neighborhood in which the band is based.
EnnieLoud’s ‘In My Room’ takes an appropriately diverse path to its beautiful realisation, blending Motown, trip-hop, psychedelia and clubland dynamics.
The band purposely researched the stylings of legendary singers such as Aretha Franklin and Erykah Badu (check out Cassandra’s incredible vocal performance), the ambient grooves of electronic pioneers Portishead and Goldfrapp and the technical tricks and treats used by live DJs – drum and bass filters, synth arpeggiators, samples.
To help forge this ambient pop gem, EnnielLoud employed producer Francesco Cataldo, and ‘In My Room’ was mixed to perfection in the USA by Grammy-nominated songwriter and engineer Beau Vallis (Kelly Rowland, Pharrell Williams, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dog).
Ennieloud has been described as a Erykah Badu mixed up with an upbeat Portishead and is truley ear catching. They have an interesting groove that will get your head nodding.
The band has been featured on Clash Magazine and is blowing up the blogosphere with mentions in Music Republic Magazine, and Graffiti Vibe.
