Who sang it?

March 15, 2008 3:20 PM

I'm trying to identify a song I heard on the radio. It might be CocoRosie or Nouvelle Vague, but I might be wrong.

It sounded like CocoRosie at first but upon further research I found Nouvelle Vague who sounds similar so it might be them.

The song in question has male volcals that sound if CocoRosie was singing but in a males voice.

The chorus features a male voice that sounds normal, not like CocoRosie's unique style.

The song was a little hip-hopish.

The song was on the radio? If you remember the approximate time and the radio station, doing a search on YES.com might help. Just make sure you click away from the the mind-numbing "Chat" tab to the "Song Log" tab once you've found your station.

Response by poster: That helps but it's not there. I got out of my car and went into subway right after the song. The receipt says 12:27pm. It's 88.1 KWVA, Eugene Oregon. I could have swore that the 1:00pm songs were playing before I got out of the car because I remember the Portishead. None of those songs look to be it.

CocoRosie's song Beautiful Boyz has a male vocalist (Antony from Antony and the Johnsons).

This is late but, Rainbow Warriors from CocoRosie's The Adventures of Ghosthorse and Stillborn has a hip-hop vibe.
