Disclosure

I am so happy to say that I just bought my ticket to see Disclosure at the House of Blues this Saturday. The British duo is currently up for four BRIT awards and will be joining forces with Grammy winner Lorde for a special performance at the show on Feb 19. I'm not normally the biggest fan of electronic music, but Disclosure's sound is hard to hate. They combine an uptempo synth beat with jazzy-pop vocals, which are, refreshingly, not auto-tuned! Music is currently in a weird phase where artists are both moving toward and away from technology, and Disclosure nails this style in their music. "Latch ft. Sam Smith" is one of the duos more popular songs. It begins with a synth-y baseline and almost immediately introduces a smooth, soulful male vocal. After the first verse, the instrumental becomes more trance-like for the hook. Finally, the vocals are reintroduced for the chorus, but this time they are high-pitched and sharp and sound similar to the synth instrumental. Every time I hear this song, I can't help but dance and sing along, so I can't wait until they play it this Saturday.
