The singer formed the group "Aluna George" in 2012 with producer George Reid, with who she has released two albums - 2013's 'Body Music' and 2016's 'I Remember'. But has taken to her own solo project this time around to bring us a more complete version of her vision. Though AlunaGeorge will still be releasing music, this solo project will also be chugging along.
Don't miss your opportunity to see the solo project FOR THE FIRST TIME in the bay area!

Do you remember a time, not so long ago, when pop music felt strange? Alliances of visionary producers and charismatic singers spawned a series of songs that were as radical as they were catchy: hits like Destiny's Child's Say My Name, Aaliyah's Try Again and Tweet's Oops (Oh My). It was great, wasn't it? AlunaGeorge thought so too. Now, when the Top 40 has never been more homogenous, they want to shake things up again. "I guess we're always looking for the exception to the rule. You just have to hope people get bored and want something else," says Aluna.
AlunaGeorge are Aluna Francis and George Reid. "Aluna" means "come here" in the Mwera dialect of Tanzania, "pupil" in Portugese and "Mother Earth" in Mayan. "George" means George. Aluna writes and sings the melodies and lyrics. George arranges the music into uncanny and seductive new shapes. They met in 2009. They live in London. They have released two fresh, irresistible singles, You Know You Like It and Your Drums, Your Love, and they have only just begun.
AlunaGeorge's songs hinge on the chemistry between Aluna's cool, commanding, distinctly British vocals and George's disorientating brew of warped samples, twitching beats and thick, woozy bass. Take their calling-card, You Know You Like It. Aluna improvised the singsong chorus at a bus stop in Harlesden and sang it down the phone line to George. The verse was a song she wrote at college a few years ago "about being defiant". "I'm no fool," she sings. "No, I'm not a follower." George set it to a slippery, unpredictable rhythm and swathed it in a dreamlike haze. The contrast's the thing.
