Lawrence, based in New York City, features two individuals sharing that last name (siblings)--Gracie and Clyde--and Jordan Cohen. At least that's the lineup on "Hanukkah, Oh Hanukkah (But Funky)", which was posted to YouTube in 2014 and, sadly, doesn't seem to be available anywhere for download or purchase. Normally, I don't post music you can't acquire. But there are exceptions and Lawrence is one.
The group released their major label debut, "Breakfast", last year. And the rest of the members are Jonny Koh, Sam Askin, Michael Karsh, Sumner Becker and Marc Langer. Clyde Lawrence has been writing music for a while, now (some of which was used in the film Miss Congeniality...worth mentioning because he was 6 years old at the time), while Gracie has an affinity for acting (on Broadway and on both the small and big screen).
Maybe y'all are way ahead of me and already groove to Lawrence. But, if not, the reason Lawrence is an exception to my "no streams" rule is because the non-holiday song "Alibi" from "Breakfast" grabbed ahold of my soul and pulled me to heaven. Got the hair on the back of my neck standing up straight away and dancing like Groot. And that song, you can buy. So check out the cool Hanukkah video, by all means. But give a good listen to "Alibi" (immediately below), too. And, if the funk fits, follow Lawrence on Facebook, Soundcloud and via their official website.
