Tunes: Chester French and “The Jimmy Choos”
From the Chester French MySpace page:
Chester French is the creative partnership between Maxwell Drummey and D.A. Wallach, two 21 year-old seniors at Harvard. The duo has been writing and producing gorgeous pop records for the past 3 years, and is currently readying its forthcoming full-length album, “Love the Future.” Maxwell is from Boston and D.A. lives between Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Nevis, a tiny island in the West Indies. They study social anthropology and African-American Studies, respectively.
According to ArjanWrites:
The duo combines ’60s style songwriting with a sense of soul, intelligence and wit that is rarely found in pop music these days. Take for example the catchy “The Jimmy Choo’s,” a perky tune about “Miss Pristine” who keeps her man close at hand to buy herself pretty little things, like shoes. “She grabs all the cash from my paper stash. Yeah, she takes it all. Cheesecake, fake bake, disco ball. But she’s got me,” Wallach sings.
The song mixes up a myriad of styles and instruments to create a whole new brew that is invigorating and straight up fun. The duo even dares to experiment with the traditional pop structure of verse, chorus and bridge, which makes the song somewhat unpredictable and a joy to listen to far beyond your first few spins.
