Twin Shadow

I Can't Wait

Terrible Records

Released: Tuesday 28 September 2010

Now, I'm starting to wonder where the fat cats at Soundblab are unearthing these unknown gems from. Twin Shadow is the solo project of George Lewis Jr., an artist from New York.

"Twin Shadow has recently signed to Terrible Records."

Lewis is putting 'feelers' out which will belong to his soon to be released album, 'Forget'. This particular track is called, 'I Can't Wait'. The main charm of the song comes from George Lewis Jr.'s vocals and its clear sound. The lyrics are fairly simple, it is not a poetic masterpiece but that is not the point. It is a track to relax to while driving on a summer's day or making love. Lewis sings, "I cannot wait for summer, I cannot wait for June". His voice is reminiscent of Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran and their legendary song, 'Rio'. The holiday theme of the song is not just found in a few obvious lines though. Lewis sings in such a relaxed tone that you imagine he is lying, eyes-closed on a sun lounger (not taken by a German tourist) overlooking the breaking waves. Keep your eyes peeled for Twin Shadow.
