NEW MUSIC DOESN’T ALL SUCK: PETITE NOIR
I recently stumbled upon Petite Noir. Hailing from South Africa and being one half of the duo Popskar, Yannick Ilunga makes beautiful ethereal African tinged 80’s influenced music. He sits some where between a Twin Shadow and Peter Gabriel at times with a sound that he calls Noir Wave. These 2 songs are haunting, unique and make me actually believe it hasn’t all been done yet.
I don’t want everything,I want everything:
And this is the most recent. This song has been on repeat the last few days just an amazing piece of pop music:
Till We Ghosts:
Check out Yannicks Tumblr it’s pretty cool:

Petite Noir is another example of how close the world has become via the Internet. I found this trolling music sites one day and tracked them down.His love for HipHop, streetwhere and skateboarding made me feel like all cultures are closer than ever, a metaphor for his music in a sense. I am beyond awaiting Yannicks EP which should be due in the next 2 months.
Till then enjoy!
