Warm vocals and lush arrangements define this stylish debut album from the Scandinavian soul-pop group
Furns. The group consists of singer/songwriter
Monika Faludi and producer/arranger
Mathias Dahl Andreasen, who together have been making some really silky, down-tempo pop music. Yes, I realize that collection of labels may look like a mess on paper, but I promise you that these two make it work in the studio. Throughout their self-titled debut,
Monika Faludi treats listeners to delicate lines and ethereal singing while
Andreasen expertly conducts an airy collection of electric pianos, synthesizers and samplers to compliment his partners engrossing vocals.The
Furns album isn't so much "blue-eyed soul" (
à la
Michael McDonald) as it is 21st vocal jazz (
à la
Micheal Franks) with an slight electronica twist. Listen...I clearly suck at putting a label on this group's sound so I suggest you just check out some of my favorite cuts from the album for yourself down below (sorry, I haven't figured out how to embed a
Spotify player in a blog post just yet). Enjoy.
