Description
Le VICE has been defined as Pop, R&B, and Hip Hop. However, we view their sound first as 80’s Electro, Disco, and Funk which is supported by a backing theme of Pop, R&B, and Hip Hop. Their LARGE sound, which includes cosmic and ambient synthesizers, aggressive bass lines, hard-nose drumming, and funky guitar licks, is carefully fused with potent rhymes and soulful singing.After forming in early 2009, Le Vice initially focused their attention on being a “live” interpretation of front woman Alex Lee’s original hip hop works. This endeavor quickly became a creative breeding ground for the new and original music that would give birth to their signature sound. And after an energetic summer tour, the band carried their momentum forward and entered the studio to record their first album.
This release is widely being received as “A refreshing harmony of both classic and contemporary sounds; a feverish blend of all the great genres”. If four on the floor is your speed, tracks such as “Shy Guy” and “Why Fight” will put you in the mood. If you love edgy dance/pop licks that you can sing to, you might check out “Uh Huh”. Or if you dig rootsy hip hop classics, “2’ocklock” should be your speed. To say the least, this record has something for everyone.
What truly makes Le VICE great is that all of its members are profound musicians and effortless songwriters. In the end their individual musical talents, experiences, influences, and willingness to experiment all contributed to the unique Le VICE sound that explodes out of this record. The sum of this group is truly greater than its parts.
