The Watson Twins - Talking to Me, Talking to You

I'll be straight up: if you are an insomniac and need some easy listening tunes to put you to sleep, a few songs from The Watson Twins' new album, "Talking to Me, Talking to You" is sure to do the trick. With a style much like Norah Jones and vocals a tiny bit resembling Dido, the twins take turns with the lead vocals and adding to key phrases as background singers. While their voices are a rougher, their music is a calm mix of synthetic instruments and piano. Although the instruments add to the interest of the song, they seem to hide the vocals at times, making the lyrics hard to hear. The lyrics go from being general to poetic, and the verses tend to flow so easily into the chorus that the songs start to feel monotonous. Overall, it is pretty music to listen to- very soft and calming- but that also can mean it may make you want to fall asleep.

Best songs: Harpeth River, Midnight, Savin' You, U-N-Me
