Swing Republic - Midnight Calling

Cheers everybody, I'm back after a little while with some new hot stuff. Summer break is over and the labels are dropping a lot of new releases again, so it's time to spread some of them. Midnight Calling is the follow-up to Swing Republic's well-respected and pioneering debut album Electro Swing Republic. This time around, producer Per Ebdrup is joined by singer and co-writer Karina Kappel for an album of originals. To me it feels like Swing Republic is going more into the pop direction with this album. It reminds me a bit of Caro Emerald because the focus is not anymore on the club but more on the radio. My favourite track is defenitely the "High Hat" with its beautiful trumpet solos, simply great! Have a listen to the Minimix on soundcloud to get a glimpse of what the album sounds like.
