\nThe Stepkids<\/em><\/p>\n

After the release of their self-titled debut album, The Stepkids<\/a> are ready for their next music piece: “Troubadour” will be released on 9 September. The album does not only provide the listener with funky tunes but also tells the story of a fictional character we can all relate to. <\/p>\n

The Stepkids love to mix and mingle different genres and create harmonic sounds for almost every music taste. We took a better look at their song “Lottery”, a track that makes it really difficult to put it into a certain genre. A mix of soul, a bit of jazz and a sprinkle of pop. Guitarist Jeff Gitelman describes the lead single as a gamble of various themes: love, business and the risk of following your heart. The song may very well be part of an early Bond film, a cheery tune with this certain sophistication.<\/p>\n

The trio toured with big names before they finally decided to form their own band in 2009. The goal was to have no restrictions in terms of genres – anything goes. Just recently the band also showcased jazzy covers of Justin Timberlake, Daft Punk & Co.<\/p>\n
