It's All Happening -- -- -- If ever a decade changed everything, it was the '60s. The music, the mood, the attitudes ... the whole era made such an earthquake-like impact, we still feel its reverberations. And inspirations. -- Charlie Faye & the Fayettes weren't around then, but this Austin trio are so good at building a groove rooted in that rich time, it's as if they're channelers. Actually, they are, but don't think "nostalgia act"; both onstage and on their self-titled release, Charlie Faye & the Fayettes, they craft smart soul-pop that merges the swinging, swaying sound and style of '60s girl groups with a modern vibe that's so current, they're dancing to the forefront of a retro revival. -- With the Fayettes, leader Charlie Faye has finally found the sonic sweet spot she started seeking even before her last album, 2013's You Were Fine, You Weren't Even Lonely, which became the chronicle of her breakup with producer Will Sexton as they recorded it. -- "I wanted to do something more fun - to write upbeat songs and create an entertaining show, because that's what I want to see," Faye explains. "I've always loved the girl groups from the '60s; that's the stuff I grew up on. And I've always loved singing harmonies with my friends, so it was a natural progression for me to want to do a girl group." -- And what a group it is. BettySoo and Akina Adderley both have established histories as solo artists and background vocalists. The trio's shared height (they're all within a half-inch of 5-foot-1) and distinct ethnicities (Jewish, Korean and African-American) just adds cute to their considerable charms. -- -- (Source: Artist PR) -- UPC 700261435657 -- The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 version of this CD is (not known) -- Another listing by Zip
