It's time for an Artist spotlight, and today it is for this new band called DateNight.
Their first single is called Girl, and it features the beautiful Lauren Francom. Her voice is an incredible, light and sultry sound. You know how some people are trying to make their voice sound one way or another? Lauren does not try to do anything, her voice is just naturally this beautiful. Sandro, the lead singer, has a great voice too, but for some reason I can only think of how great Lauren is in this song!!
The song came out at the end of May and I think it is the perfect summer romance song. She wants him to hold her hand, and then she asks for her heart back because she doesn't want to be heartbroken but he is too into her to give her heart back now.
Everything about this song just works for me. It is light and beautiful, it is what a summer picnic feels like, one of those dates that ends up never ending because neither of you want it to end, so you keep finding things to do and it is relaxed and wonderful. This song is like a nap in a hammock with the perfect breeze. This song is perfection.
One of their other songs is called Chloe.
This song is a little slower, and it is more like a conversation that happens late at night, when he is looking into your eyes, pushes the hair behind your ear, and tells you he loves you for the first time.
It is a beautiful song about how beautiful this girl is.
My favorite line is "makes my heart stutter la-la-like a vinyl record"
The lead singer Sandro is accompanied by Zach Collier and they are able to harmonize in an incredible way.
It is a sweet and simple lullaby that is guaranteed to make you smile and think of the first time you fell in love.
UPDATE! 6/14: So last night DateNight had a show in front of the Provo Library, and it was super good! One thing I loved about this band is that they all switched positions. There was a time that one person would play guitar, one would sing, one would beat on the box, and one would play the tambourine. Next song they all switched! And the harmonica, don't even get me started! Incredible.
They have some really good covers, and some really funny original songs like Girls, talking about their dating life and how it isn't going how they had planned.
Look up this band, listen to them, and love them!!
