Nikki & Rich - Next Best Thing

One of my friends has been listening to Tightrope, by Janelle Monáe constantly and it’s so irresistibly catchy (you can’t help but want to dance) that I went and made a station from it on Pandora (is this considered cheating?).  This led to several great songs that sounded really similar.  The song in the video above is by the group Nikki & Rich and while it’s not as catchy as Tightrope, it still got me moving.  A little more searching brought me to an article about them that included a link to a free gift of their debut EP.  A preliminary listen revealed “City Lights” as the most repeat-worthy song, but maybe the others will grow on me.

Other songs that turned up on the Pandora station (they’re all pretty catchy):
Sepalot - Go Get It (feat. Ladi6)
The Bamboos - You Ain’t No Good
Duffy - Mercy
