THE AIKIU featuring JD SAMSON, “Win”
The Aikiu is a four piece contemporary new wave band from Paris led by singer/songwriter Alex Aikiu. And Alex scored a huge coup to get MEN vocalist JD Samson to sing on “Win”. The song is a pretty impressive slice of sophisticated, softer Eurodance pop, with emotive and empowering vocals from JD (who also puts her stamp on the song’s sequel “Win Part II” on The Aikiu’s EP). The Aikiu has enormous potential, blending styles from as diverse as Roxy Music and The Cure with current sounds which put them in the same queue of fans who like The Gossip, Passion Pit, and The Good Natured. Watch the video for “Win” below and get the Win EP on iTunes.
In somewhat of a nice coincidence with this post, I learned this evening that JD Samson & MEN are playing The Garrison in my city (Toronto) on Sunday January 26.
