If ever there was a band, artist or concept to have benefited from the endless possibilities of the internet age, then bright new duo Little Freak Things are a solid gold example of the innovative nature of music and technology, the result of a coming together of musical minds from different backgrounds, in a time when creativity seems to know no bounds.
The creation of Nicolas Nekmouche, AKA Donovans and Maï-Lan Chapiron, a French singer/songwriter whose cover of French Rap crossover band La Caution caught Nicolas' ear and led to a chance music making session (borne from a chance encounter and hook up on MySpace). The product of their time so far culminates in their debut single, ‘Nightfall’; a low-slung number that perfectly fits into Little Freaky Things’ honed style – her elegant, acute pop music glued together by his jackin’ beats and percussion grooves, all molded into a block rocking beast . Paying homage to Stax-era funk and soul, the delicate guitar licks and tight bass-grooves of Nightfall hark back to the golden NYC ‘70s heyday of disco, funk and party sensibilities.
"Nightfall/What a Bad Day" EP is a taster of hat to come from this partnership as the worlds of dance and pop music collide in glorious fashion. Released through Nicolas’ newly formed 11Heads Records imprint, it’s just the beginning for a duo that seeks to create music without restrictions – much like the climate in which this unique project as born. Written compositions galvanised by a dance-floor back-bone, Freaky Little Things do exactly what you expect them too – get your body moving and soulgrooving.
