“All In (ft. Vera Kebbe)” by Luna Bay - A Song Feature


     The contributions to the vocals in “All In” are fluid, yet consistently interesting and inviting. The song is from the UK band Luna Bay with a major assist from Swedish singer/songwriter Vera Kebbe. “All In” is vocally driven, although the controls change hands often. The track begins with Connor O’Mara, the lead vocalist of Luna Bay. Later, Vera Kebbe takes the lead. The vocals are most attractive when the controls are shared and are most interesting with a brief band shout at the 0:47 mark. Is that a shout of “Do-si-do”?

     The percussion is also worthy of focus, as it is sometimes forceful and other times almost non-existent. Another question – Is that a cowbell or a woodblock in the first 20 seconds of “All In (ft. Vera Kebbe)”?  The single is a spirited Indie gem. Particularly with the guest vocals of Vera Kebbe, the Luna Bay offering has the feel of Grouplove at their best.

     The members of Luna Bay are Connor O'Mara (vocals, guitar), Rye Milligan (lead guitar), Sammy Penniston (bass), and Alex Ross (drums). They are based in London. Their band-featuring video for “Smoke and Mirrors” (2016) is included at the bottom of this post.
