Artist History
Combining the soulful ache of Simply Reds Mick Hucknall with the sultry falsetto of Smokey Robinson, Lemon resurrects the plaintive longing and raw sexuality of vintage R&B with the synthesized rhythms of 80s modern rock. A duo consisting of vocalist Roger Smith and multi-instrumentalist Thor Madsen, the New York-based Lemon generates body heat from their funky, sweltering grooves. The propulsive Aint Coming Back recalls Peter Gabriel in his mid-80s prime as Smiths deeply emotional and urgent vocals fuel Madsens grinding keyboards while One Night Stand is reminiscent of Prince's midnight eroticism. Eschewing the discordant noise and basement production of 90s alternative rock, Lemon champion melody and clear, straightforward songwriting, utilizing modern technology to create evocative atmospherics with old-school pop hooks. If Motown had begun releasing albums in the 21st century, then Lemon wouldve been among their prime artists. The warmth of Smith's singing is complemented beautifully by Madsen's dreamy keyboard textures, raved renowned U.K. journalist Adam Harrington. Take a taste of Lemon now. http://www.lemoncentral.com

Excellent CD with an original funk-rock groove that you'll love. The very melodic and smooth vocals, combined with excellent musicianship and a professional, unique production bring this CD to life. If you like the vocals of Simply Red or Brian Ferry, or good new music with an original sound and a strong groove that'll remind you of the Motown sound, then you've got to check out this CD. |
