Lion Babe and Johnnyswim
If you're hungry for some good new music, then check out Lion Babe (@Lion_Babe) and Johnny Swim (@JOHNNYSWIM) Both are duos that feature celebrity daughters. Before you roll your eyes, just know that these ladies have inherited all of the talent and beauty of their famous mothers, but have a style and sound all their own. Lion Babe features producer Lucas Goodman and vocalist Jillian Hervey, the daughter of Vanessa L. Williams and publicist/manager Ramon Hervey. Jillian's voice is reminiscent of Erykah Badu and the video for their first single "Treat Me Like Fire" is like performance art with Jillian playing the part of a fierce lioness in the wild and showcasing her dancing skills.
Johnnyswim is husband and wife duo Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano. Amanda is the daughter of the late great Donna Summer and Singer/Songwriter Bruce Sudano. Being a fan of Donna Summer, I've been aware of this group for several years. I happen to be watching the VH1 show "Mob Wives" recently and I heard their song "Heartbeats" and loved it. Only later did I find out that Johnnyswim was behind that song. The video has a very earthy feel to it which is the perfect setting for Amanda and Abner's haunting, bluesy vocals.
Don't sleep on either of these artists. I hear so many people complain about the lack of good R&B. Well, here it is. No bling, no grills, no materialism, just good music.
