NYC Girl

NYC Girl
The Orion Experience

Imagine a band that somehow manages to (1) make catchy music (am I mean, stuck in your head for days catchy)you just can't get out of your head, and makes you want to dance, groove out, and shimmy, all at once.

That band is The Orion Experience. I have been a fan of this east-coast quintet for a few years, but was reminded of how much fun they are to listen to after reading a Pop Culture Addict's review and interview with the lead singer, Orion Simprini. If you want a little insight into the group, this interview is a great read.

I think the LA Examiner summed up their style pretty well:

Take one part 70s R&B and add an equal part of rock. Add a dash of disco and sunny pop and what you have is a song by The Orion Experience. This EP is a great example of what an EP should do: namely, get you interested in more songs by the band.

This song came out in their recent release, NYC Girl. If you like them after listening to NYC Girl, I highly recommend exploring their earlier album, the aptly-named Cosmicandy.

Happy Listening!
