New Zealand – take note of Willy Moon. The former Wellingtonian, who is now based in London, is causing a stir in Europe and the US with his blend of ‘50s pop, rock ‘n’ roll and hip-hop. His breakthrough
song, Yeah Yeah, was used as the soundtrack for an iPod ad, but there are other gems here. Syncopated old-school R&B number Get Up makes you want to put on your winkle-pickers and start tapping your feet. Working for the Company is a cabaret ode to the nine-to-five grind and Railroad Track is simply breathtaking locomotive gospel.
