LES IMPRIMES
I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU (BIG CROWN RECORDS)
Big Crown is proud to present the debut 45 from the newest band on the label, Les Imprimés. Based in Norway and led by producer and multi-instrumentalist Morten Martens, they blend a myriad of inuences together to create their unique and soulful sound.
The A side "I'll Never Leave" has a chugging Doo Wop feel to it but with a heavy duty thump that brings it into the present.
The production is lush yet simple with tasteful arrangement that doesn't waste a note. Martens sings to his muse of delity and romance with melodies that are sure to be stuck in your head long after the track nishes.
The B side "If I" leans into the slowie cannon. The track holds court with the best of the beat ballad B sides.
But, when Martens starts singing, the charm of Les Imprimés comes front and center making it easy for a wide audience to love, but hard to put your nger on.
