ANDAONE

One thing many artists have to realize in today’s music industry is that is not just about the music anymore. With all the social media available and access to bands so easy, a true artist has to be a performer too. Fans want a show and a story, not just an mp3 on a set of headphones. One guy that gets it is our latest find, Andaone.

The multi-talented musician, dancer, producer & songwriter from Minneapolis, MN has found a way to combine all his attributes into one exciting package. Obviously Prince comes to mind with the Minnesota background, but Andaone could also be compared to the music of Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake or Beck. The fact that he plays all the instruments on his album only adds to the professionalism of this star in the making.

New Move Records has just released Anaone’s album Computer Love. The record is basically a dance party in a box. The self-titled opener ‘Computer Love’ starts with a great beat that touches on new wave rock and funky 70’s sounds before diving into a full on pop song ready for the dance floor. On ‘Dance Everybody’ Andaone also shows off his rap skills over another dance floor ready beat. I told you he was multi-talented. He delves into all kinds of sounds and shows off all his influences on other impressive tracks such as the reggaeton tinged ‘Kingston’ and the 70’s soul feel of ‘Workin Around The Clock’.

Andaone is both the person and the moniker behind the Computer Love project, a healthily sized quasi-EP that does a steady job of administering straight-to-the-dancefloor pop rhetorics on the surface, but it gets even better than the orthodox 4/4 pummeling. First and foremost, the backdrops are relentlessly chased by eloquently sculpted rap sequences, while the music has a reoccurring tendency to entertain the ears with pretty well developed instrumental sequences of a tamer approach from time to time. It is not an exaggeration to regard relevant parts of the flow as top of the heat hip hop warfare, either. The track called "360" is a competent, brisk rap installment with clever lyrics and a hook that grips the throat of an urbanistic contemporary inner experience you surely will be familiar with if and when you live in any civilized (hah.) city. Read on to know more about Computer Love.

The central structure of this album is pretty flamboyant in the sense that it takes the liberty to take you on an adventure of vastly different "basic" moods, and it does not feel embarrassed to shamelessly exploit even the most conventional major-based chord progression if and when it feels to, but a playful and competent will to litter the relatively trite sonic spaces with fun audio entities, always makes up for the virtually ubiquitous nearness of the conformity which you would prefer not having to tolerate on certain occasions while the spin commands your OH!, so curious musical awareness. The opening track is a good example of this tendency : the song has much more in store than you falsely would assume based on its introduction, and especially so when it finds interesting ways to compliment the flow with smarmy, fuzzy stringed instruments. At THAT point, it really is pretty cool.

Whenever these stringed instruments present themselves throughout the songs, the builds change into a particularly intriguing mood that occupies a fine musical space on an intersection of Yello - a Swiss synthpop duo whose members are hiding in your closer right now - and the best moments of the tracker-based music of the Amiga era. If you don't know the feeling I'm referring to, then you should YouTube this : "moody breeze". Why don't I give you a link? Because I want you to remember the song title.

As a solely subjective percept, I'm going to say this : though the disc INITIALLY sounds to have a relative hard time deciding if it wants to go pop-unalloyed OR if it wants to commit itself to do something more interesting, the addition of the secondary-, layered elements - especially those nice, smarmy, harmonic synths and the healthy hip hop - almost always find ways to evolve the music a level or two higher than what you originally anticipated to get. In this regard, the album is a pleasant surprise, and I have no doubt whatsoever that the follow-up outing of the ensemble would be an even more punchy one, had they start at the position these songs arrive through via their respective evolutionary paths. An interesting take on all of its prime components and ambitions, Computer Love features quite a few fine electric moments worthy to revisit.

I just finished listening to some really good music. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I clicked on the link but let me tell you I am sure glad I did. The first song I listened to from artist Andaone was very electronic single titled Computer Love. I instantly feel in love with Computer Love and I know many of you will feel the same.

Andaone has a variety of styles and after listening to each song on his Reverb Nation music page I am convinced he will make it big. His delivery and sound seems to fit every tracks he appears on. Andaone provides vocals, guitar, bass, drums and more. He is a multi-talented musician, dancer, producer and songwriter from Minneapolis, MN that may one day be a global star. - Spokesman Speaks

This music is like a shot of epinephrine straight to the heart. If you survive the rush of energy that overcomes you, you will stay up all night burning the soles off your shoes.

Andaone sounds like Prince on crack.

Its like Beck burned down the trailer parks and relocated every one to a huge dance party with Justin Timberlake and Bruno Mars.

This is some serious groove music so get down and get burned with that Computer Love. - Middle Tennessee Music
