I first heard of Leki And The Sweet Mints about 3 years ago when their song Obsessive was being played regularly on my favourite local radio station. From the moment I first heard it I fell in love with that song. I tried to find out the name of the performer but I always misheard it. I typed some of the lyrics on Google and finally found the song on Youtube, with just the audio. Once I knew the name of the band I tried searching for it on the Ares downloading site but couldn't find it. I just found 2 other songs- Over The Rainbow and Love Another Day. Both are good songs but maybe mot as good as Obsessive. I tried and tried for some time but never found it.
But 3 days ago I remembered the song and searched for it on Soulseek, but I couldn't find it there either. But I immediatly remembered the You Tube to mp3 converter that someone in this forum recommended me. So, I finally could download the song.
She's Belgain and her style is somewhere between Pop, R&B and Soul and she has a great voice (she's as good as Adele, Duffy and Amy but but poppier and not as tortured)and The Sweet Mints are, as you might have guessed, her backing singers. And this song in particular is brilliant. It sounds so fresh in comparison with most that has been popular in the past few years (maybe because it features live instrumentation, where most of today's music is in the eletropop genere) which's weird as it sounds so vintage as well. It deserved to be a hit.
I hope you enjoy the song as much as I do (I know it's not New Wave but it's good anyway)
