Hot on the heels of debut UK single ’Hearts A Mess’, and following a triumphant reception for his unique multi-media ’one-man-band’ shows in Europe, Gotye returns with ’Learnalilgivinanlovin’, perhaps the quintessential summer single, and an exciting sign of things to come on his genre-mashing style haven of a debut album, ’Like Drawing Blood’.

’Learnalilgivinanlovin’ exudes a vibrant versatility, like classic Motown produced with Phil Spector’s widescreen sunshine visors on, it’s the most ebullient blend of racing drums, triumphant horns, and the sweetest soul falsetto you’ve never heard, like some lost ’Northern Soul’ classic.

’Learnalil’ grooves along on a timeless instrumental with a breezy melody that’s the perfect soundtrack to the hot summer we dream of, whether cruising country backroads, or toughing out the, sometimes, sweltering city heat while kids dance around chasing ice cream vans down the street.

Are you learning to give it a lil’ love. Hit comment...
