The Bird And The Bee - Interpreting The Masters Volume 1: A Tribute To Daryl Hall And John Oates flac album

Interpreting The Masters, Volume 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall And John Oates. Volume 1 represents a then-and-now in pop music, a genre once inspired by soul and now consumed by dance. The Bird and the Bee don’t so much recreate Hall & Oates as they modernize them, taking the strictly adhered-to hooks and coating them in shimmering synth lines. But all I could think while listening to neo-synth pop duo the Bird and the Bee’s new collection of Hall & Oates covers, which comes complete with Private Eyes-cribbing cover art, was that hipsters might not be the best candidates to celebrate the legacy of the definitely MOR legends.

Hall & Oates have always been deemed a guilty listening pleasure based on their string of omnipresent chart-toppers. On a new tribute album to the pair, Los Angeles-based pop duo the Bird & the Bee (comprising singer Inara George and t/producer Greg Kurstin) deliciously immerse themselves into such Hall & Oates hits as "Maneater," "Rich Girl" and "Private Eyes. Aside from arrangement updates and catchy synth touches, the Bird & the Bee play it straight as George fetchingly channels Hall's vocal groove.

Since then, Hall & Oates’ star has risen again, not with new material, but with an overall embracing of their classic material, including six number one hits. The most recent display of H&O love is in the musical number of (500) Days of Summer, finding Joseph Gordon Levitt lip-synching and dancing to You Make My Dreams. So, it was no surprise to me to find that a modern duo chose to pay tribute to these legendary performers. The Bird & the Bee, . Greg Kurstin and Inara George, made a name for themselves with the single, Fucking Boyfriend. Interpreting the Masters also boasts the caveat that this is the first volume in a series. If the ensuing chapters are as engaging and fun as the first, I’ll be sure to tune in, but I’m wondering what other bands of that era can rival Hall & Oates in sheer pop earworm bliss. Duran Duran? Fleetwood Mac? The Cars?

This album is FUN! If you are a Hall & Oates fan then you will love listening to so many of their hits redone in such a cool and quirky manner. music is supposed to make you feel good right? I don't have too many friends who are Hall & Oates fans as well but I bought for the one friend I do have and she absolutely love it! She would not stop talking about it and said that it was the best gift I have ever given her (it might have been because my gifts in the past were just really bad!). I have been a great fan of Hall and Oates ever since I heard "Maneater" in 1983. When I heard about the cover being done for all their hits, and then heard snippets of the covers, I was thrilled. The voice is comforting and simple.

Interpreting the Masters Volume 2: A Tribute to Van Halen will be out on August 2nd. The album will be in the style of the duo’s 2010 record Interpreting the Masters, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates, crafting a band’s classics into a new genre. Vocalist Inara George and t Greg Kurstin (who’s produced for Adele, Sia, Beck, Pink and more) rework Ain’t Talking ‘Bout Love, from Van Halen’s 1978 self-titled debut, into a lush synth-pop jam that skews closer to the Eighties.
