Le Concorde, the brainchild of Stephen Becker, has a new single out called "Morning By Morning," which ventures into more tender and contemplative territories, evoking the early '80s musical landscape. A tantalizing glimpse of what fans can look forward to from his upcoming September 19th release. While the first notes of "Morning By Morning" suggested waking up in a sunny apartment on a quiet street to the glimmering light peeking from behind the curtains and freshly brewed coffee aroma, right off the bat.
Throughout, the evocative serenity of the music crafts is also shot through with rich, warm pop. And that is what Le Concorde has honed in as a bright pop with a heart on its sleeve, excellent, and sounding authentic. LA-based Stephen Becker has a passion for creating lush, textured sounds. His influences are derived from the idiosyncratic UK pop style of sophistipop, which combines elements of jazz and new wave with pop. This influence can also be seen in "Morning By Morning," because every piece seems to have its place. With its smooth vocals and gentle beats, the song creates a soothing atmosphere that lends to an intimate experience for you.
While more low-key than some of the other cuts from the album, this single adopts a more subdued approach, creating an experience that is both unique and personal to you. It captivates and blesses you with its intricate sounds and appealing lyrics. It is a song designed to comfort rather than excite, demonstrating that loud does not necessarily prevail, and leaving a lasting mark in pop music. If the rest of the album follows in this trajectory, you can expect a collection of tracks that feature not only the light, bubbly side but also the darker tones house music has to offer. "Morning By Morning" seems to open the door a bit more fully onto that softer side of Le Concorde, showing once more that Stephen Becker remains uniquely adept at cradling sophistipop in levels of vibrancy and deep resonance uncommon yet altogether welcomed within his genre.
