AlunaGeorge brings a chill R&B vibe to their electro-pop, which also tends to incorporate hip-hop elements. The UK duo is the vibrant singer/songwriter Aluna Francis and George Reid, who provides production and instrumentation. In 2013 they broke the Top 40 with a cool collaboration with Disclosure called “White Noise.” A year ago they signed with Interscope Records, under which they’ll release their second studio album, I Remember, in September. For now though, you can enjoy the duo’s soulful songs like their radio-ready lead single “I’m in Control” featuring Popcaan, “My Blood” featuring ZHU, and the album’s emotional title track, which was co-produced by Flume. Earlier this month they dropped yet another fantastically danceable track, “Mean What I Mean,” featuring rappers Leikeli47 and Dreezy. JENNI MOORE
