Kasabian - Where Did All the Love Go?

New Singles - Rock & Indie Rock Singles

Written by Katherine Smith

Kasabian are back with all guns blazing, forcing us to answer to their latest release “Where Did All the Love Go?”. It seems there is still plenty of love to go around for the alternative brit-pop band and their mind-boggling third album "West Pauper Lunatic Asylum", released on August 6th.

Producer and band-member, Serge Pizzorno, has carefully mixed all the elements in this track to make for another paralyzing injection. The hypnotically repetitive chorus creates a creative balance for Tom Meighan’s musical ramblings on “social chaos”.

The maddeningly addictive new single will have its audience strapped down and ready for another dose of Kasabian-brand shock therapy.

VA – Smoove pres: MO’ RECORD KICKS: Act II

This latest collection from label Record Kicks is easy on the ear.

If it doesn’t have you dreaming of better days in the snap of a second, there is something wrong with you. This record is an aphrodisiac for the modern workplace.

From "The Young Patter" by the Baker Brothers and "Prophets Bound to Christ" by William Joseph Fowler & the Disciples, DJ Smoove mixes up a storm on record Act II. With the types of sounds that would be at home at a funk club in the funkiest of cities in the funkiest of countries, there is no denying that DJ Smoove is, for want of a better description, a cool cat.

A particularly favourite track of this reviewer is "Rags to Riches" by the Liberators, a fresh afro-funk act hailing from Sydney, Australia. The track is so rich with the sounds of Africa, it is a wonder it was not produced in, ummm, Africa.

The Diplomats of Solid Sound have been on my radar for a while, and so have Lack of Afro. So it does not surprise me that the Lack of Afro remix of the Diplomat’s tune "Give Me One More Chance", is an outright classic.

Similarly to a lot of the new releases from the team at label Record Kicks, this is highly recommended!
