“Dear Santa” by Mr. Little Jeans

Just in time for the Holidays, Mr. Little Jeans released “Dear Santa” – a 1950s style Christmas track.

The cheery-sounding track has the twist of Mr. Little Jeans lamenting how amid all the festivities “on Christmas day, I’ll be the loneliest girl” due to a long-distance relationship (“A kiss on the phone won’t make up for being alone”). Reminds me of Figurine’s “IMpossible” and the line “These instant message conversations are filled with empty explanations. 12-point text cannot replace five minutes with you face-to-fact…”

[NEW]: “Waterfalls” by Mr. Little Jeans

This afternoon, Mr. Little Jeans released her cover of Paul McCartney’s “Waterfalls,” continuing the oceans theme begun with last month’s “Oh Sailor.”

Adding to Mr. Little Jeans’s list of ethereal, dreampop reduxes of songs, she continues to stand out amongst all the other dream poppers.

“Turn to Sand” by Musique Le Pop

Norwegian electropop newcomers Musique Le Pop combine soft Say Lou Lou style vocals with Charlie XCX style newtro beats to get their feet in the door of Scandinavian electro.

With only 247 Facebook fans but a haunting electro sound reminiscent of this music era’s other Scandinavian musicians such as Mr. Little Jeans of Norway, The Knife of Sweden, Mø of Denmark, Musique Le Pop is sure to start getting more indie famous.

“The Suburbs (Arcade Fire cover)” by Mr. Little Jeans

You already all know about my unconditional love for Mr. Little Jeans.

And what better song to add as another reason for that love than an Arcade Fire cover?

On another note, this video (unofficial and fan-made, I’m assuming) is pretty awesome because Alessandra Ambrosia’s sensual nature is a perfect embodiment of Mr. Little Jeans’s music. (Although I do think this video could have done with a lot less monster truck action.)

Mr. Little Jeans – “Faking Gold”

What I first noticed about “Faking Gold” by Mr. Little Jeans is the singer’s sensual, smooth voice.  It’s not “sensual” and “smooth” in a soul way but in an electropop Goldfrapp or triphop Sneaker Pimps manner.  In fact, her music sounds like the electropop version of Kitten or The Like!  It’s as if someone took Kitten and the Like’s faster songs and added electropop beats over their lofi indie rock rhythm.

In fact, the initial twenty-five seconds of my  first listen made me think Mr. Little Jeans was simply an electropop musician.  The drum machine-sounding drums combined with the spacey keyboard notes and the warbley static at the thirteen second mark are very reminiscent of Goldfrapp’s style.  However, past the twenty-five second mark, a guitar riff comes in and reveals that Mr. Little Jeans blends indie rock with electropop.

It also doesn’t hurt that Mr. Little Jeans did a cover of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.”
