In 2011, Fitz and The Tantrums won me over with one of their debut singles,
Breaking the Chains of Love, saucey lyrics and an old school Motown beat. They're back now with their sophomore album,
More Than A Dream. And they have definitely shown that they're not just a retro thowback, crafting a sound of their own. The group is led by Micheal "Fitz" Fitzpatrick whose vocals are similar to Daryl Hall (and looks an awful lot like Michael Keaton with a swatch of grey hair) and Noelle Scaggs, a soulful songtress. I was lucky enough to catch these guys at last years Firefly Festival. They were definitely one of my favorite acts, so dynamic and vibrant on stage. Noelle and Fitz had such an energy, they had the whole crowd dancing and singing along.
So far my favorite song from the new album is,
6AM, a slower, dancey, lover's lament. But it showcases the vocal duality between Fitz and Noelle. They perform it live for the World Cafe with David Dye, along with some others tracks; I've got a link below!
Oh, I just started listening to them and I love them! They're going to be at Made in America and I 'm so excited to see them :)
