I’m going to go out on a limb and assume you listen to amazing music. On that note, Project Jenny, Project Jan is worth a listen, and is definitely a keep. The male duo (yes, they’re men, disregard the name) hail from Brooklyn and sport a sound that is versatile and catchy. In their album XOXOXOXOXO, you can hear bits of everything– electronic, rap, show tunesy, a bit of country– a sound that is utterly and entirely unique. And the vocals do not disappoint. The band is strong on all levels, and you can dance to all of their songs.
XOXOXOXOXO
