lolingo | new cross gate | african head teacher ep
Lolingo. Say it with me. Lolingo. Put the name in your mouth because more than likely your going to be saying it a lot in the months to come.

Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes | Baby Caught The Bus
Clairy Browne & The Bangin’ Rackettes bring a modern feel to Motown classics that could stop the likes of Diana and Aretha right in their respective tracks. All the way from Melbourne, Australia comes Clairy Browne, she’s a vocal powerhouse wading chin deep into your ears with something to prove.. Home girl has got it together and delivers her classic and soulful renditions with equal amounts of teasing, playfulness and genuine passion. The Bangin’ Rackettes (Ruby Jones, Camilla McKewen, Loretta Mille) are tambourine tapping, synchronized clapping, a back-up singing, dancing showgirl trio giving this nine-piece number a sexy Shirelles feel.
This band has it all then some, complete with saxophone playing, big band bee-bop and soulful Motown vibes aplenty. Ms. Browne sings with such a smoky, sultry passion you get all wrapped up in her sound and she keeps on reeling you in for more. Their debut album Baby Caught The Bus (Vanguard Records) has the power to captivate and bring the old school sexy out in everyone. In the words of Clairy herself: “Sing, Dance, Get the fuck into it.”
So, anyone who is longing to hear a new kinda’ Amy Winehouse, stylistically speaking that is, you’re sure to fall in love with Clairy Browne and The Bangin’ Rackettes. Get with it, or go without. Don’t regret it.
