Back in 2019, we featured new music from sisters Aly & AJ when we fell in love with their song "Star Maps." In fact, the song came in at #16 in our Top 100 Songs of 2019. We lost track of them after that, and we just saw that they recently have a new song that we love called "Don't Need Nothing." It is actually the 5th single (5th single!) from their current album called A Touch Of The Beat Gets You Up On Your Feet Gets You Out And Then Into The Sun. What a title!
"Don't Need Nothing" starts of very dreamy and then the drums kick in and it becomes a stomper. The album title is the lyrics for the chorus of this song. In the video, Aly & AJ are having an AbFab moment drinking wine and a food fight on what looks like a California winery. We love it. Have a look ...
Wasn't that FAB? Yes, it was. Now let's look at the other 4 singles that we missed.
"Slow Dancing" was released in December of 2020. This is a lovely ballad that has a tempo change about half way through. The music video is quite clever with the storylines of both Aly & AJ intertwining. Have a look ...
"Listen!!!" was released in January. Fun fact: Nancy Wilson of Heart plays guitar and sings backing vocals on this track. As you can imagine the music is very guitar driven, but having said that, it is still very much a pop song. Check out the music video ...
"Pretty Places" was released in March. This is a lovely mid-tempo pop song with a wonderful melody. The video is very nostalgic and features a road trip. See it here ...
"Symptom Of Your Touch" was released in April. This is an awesome song and we really like it. Here is something a bit odd, AJ couldn't make the filming of the video, so it only features Aly walking around the streets and beach. But the song definitely features both on vocals. Have a look ...
"Don't Need Nothing" was written by Aly & AJ and Jorge Elbrecht.
