Taking the boom of British bass culture and marrying it to the sweet slickness of classic American R&B, AlunaGeorge aka Aluna Francis and producer George Reid are excited to announce the details of their eagerly awaited debut album Body Music, released on July 29th via Island Records.
In the 12 months since their first release went viral, AlunaGeorges DIY video for You Know You Like It has clocked up over 2 million views, the band were crowned the most blogged artist of 2012, they sold out a European tour, performed at Moschinos catwalk show during London Fashion Week and made the top 3 for both last years prestigious BRITS Critics Choice Award and the BBCs Sound of 2013 (#2). On top of all of the above, with no surprise, Aluna has also kicked off a career in fashion having been signed by NEXT Models.
These accolades, and the universal praise heaped upon the duos shoulders, were of course a direct result of the incredibly fresh and unique music the pair are producing. Their second single Your Drums, Your Love followed You Know You Like It in October 2013 and latest single Attracting Flies released in April this year has now sold over 100,000 copies. In between, AlunaGeorge scored a #2 hit single in the UK following their amazing collaboration with Disclosure on future classic White Noise.
Fast becoming an unstoppable force in 2013 with their signature sound that has captured the attention of critics and fans alike, AlunaGeorge are turning British pop on its head. The summer of 2013 looks set to be theirs for the taking as the debut album Body Music drops and a new You Know You Like It EP on July 21st which includes the refreshed single and the B-side, Bad Idea. The pair are also putting the finishing touches to a brand new video which drops in the coming weeks.
