PLAKE, “Eden”
It looks like Louisiana’s Hunter Plake and his brother Dakota have zeroed in on what was to me Hunter’s shining moment on the most recent season of “The Voice” – his warm, unique, toned-down rendition of Sia’s “Electric Heart” – and have used it for the basis of their new much-awaited indie single, “Eden”. Given Hunter’s other performances on “The Voice”, “Eden” is not what one might expect – gloriously romantic chilled out pop/dance! But I’ve found the performances on the show often disguise what the performers really want to do. And now with that as a launchpad, “Eden” should serve the brothers Plake very well as a kickstart to their own music and sound. Club DJ’s will want to invest in this one transitioning into or out of a quieter set. For the rest of us, a taste of “Eden” is not enough and we’ll want more very soon from the Plakes!
