THE YEARNING: Video “You Make Lovin' You Easy” [New Elefant band]

In the coming days we are going to present the first release from one of Elefant’s newest groups, THE YEARNING. Behind their name lies a studio project led by England’s Joe Moore, with Maddie Dobie on vocals, and with collaborations from Justyna Halas (vocals), Gordon Campbell (guitar), Mark Kiff (guitar), and Zoe Illes (cello). Together, they are capable of evoking some of the greatest moments of Motown, somewhere between doo-wop, pop-soul and the classic sixties sound. To whet your appetites, we’re giving you the first of a collection of three videos, which we will release with a space of about two or three weeks between videos. The videos correspond to three songs from this first release, titled “Jukebox Romance”. The songs are all linked and they tell us a marvelous story.

This first video is for the song that opens the Mini-LP, “You Make Lovin’ You Easy”, and in it we can see a girl walking down the street… We won’t tell you any more about the story, so you can follow it in this and the coming videos that we’ll be releasing soon enough. In the meantime, we’ll let you to enjoy this marvelous song, full of fantastic vocal games in the doo-wop code with echoes of the greats like Dusty Springfield, Blossom Dearie and THE VELVELETTES.
