Anyone who knows my taste in music knows that I'm a sucker for male/female duets. I'm always on the hunt for new music (suggestions are welcome!) and when I find a band that has both female and male singers, I get very excited. There's just something about the combination of high/low voices that I like.  That's one of the main reason I love Jupiter Rising so much.

The best way to describe this L.A. natives' sound is by the name of one of their records, Electropop. It's definitely pop, but with more an edge so you don't get bored. Jessie Payo, the female part of our magnificent duo, is like a cooler version of Nelly Furtado; she's the type of girl that grabs you and draws you in, making you want to hear more of what she has to say. Her partner, Spencer Nezey, adds to the awesomeness by inserting his own vocals which, I think, are similar to the beloved Sean Kingston. So it's basically like having Nelly and Sean in a band together. What more could you want?

I highly recommend you check out their single "L.A. Girls" and their album, Electropop on iTunes. It's one of those records you put in your car for long trips because you don't have to skip any songs; they're all good. :)

And remember  you can convert any songs on Youtube to an mp3 file for your iPod, here.

Happy listening!
