Bitter:Sweet's intoxicating and playful debut artist album, 'The Mating Game' is a beautiful 11 track work from the duo of Shana Halligan and Kiran Shahani (former Supreme Beings of Leisure).
Songs unfold like little vignettes of romantic interludes and scenes from enchanting films of days gone by. Fans of Portishead, Zero 7, Sia, and Everything but the Girl will fall in love with the album's sound.
From the sultry, exotic opening track "Don't Forget to Breathe" to the big band sass of "The Mating Game," through the dreamy torchsong, "Bittersweet Faith," Shana's melodically sweet and sexy vocals paired with Kiran's experimental pop beats and masterful programming make for an album that will stand the test of time.
