Status: Back
Why You Should Pay Attention: The London duo – singer Aluna Francis and instrumentalist George Reid – refitted R&B with indie electronics on their 2013 debut, but they've since been experimenting with EDM. A DJ Snake remix toughened up the understated "You Know You Like It," giving them the biggest hit of their career, and new single "I'm in Control" grooves to the kind of light synth riff you'd hear on a Major Lazer album. Expect to hear more from their upcoming I Remember, due April 29.
