LUNA & The Gents, the outstanding collective hailing from Basel, Switzerland, have firmly cemented their unique genre, ‘Swingin’ Vintage Pop,’ with every release. Now, with their fifth single, ‘Doggy,’ they are delivering a slice of pure, infectious joy that is guaranteed to put a massive smile on your face.
This project is the brainchild of seasoned songwriter and producer Leendert van Stipriaan (aka STIP), who, alongside the powerful and soulful voice of Evelyne “LUNA” Péquignot, has taken unfinished repertoire and breathed new life into it. The result is a sound that perfectly fuses retro charm with a fresh, modern vibe, anchored by an unwavering commitment to authenticity. In an age saturated with digital fakery, LUNA & The Gents intentionally record all their tracks live in the studio, using real instruments and classic studio technology. There are no digital gimmicks, no sample overload, just genuine musicianship and emotional depth. This dedication creates a rich, transparent sound that has the warmth and spontaneity of a live performance, giving their pop a timeless quality often missing today.
LUNA & The Gents are more than just a duo, of course; LUNA and STIP are supported by an outstanding ensemble of musicians including Matthias van Stipriaan (guitars and musical direction), Yves de Groot (keyboards), Rainer Schudel (bass), and Andy Lang (drums). This formidable line-up ensures that the band’s self-described ‘Swingin’ Vintage Pop’ is a brilliant blend of classic songwriting, catchy melodies, and organic arrangements delivered with an undeniable groove and dynamic performance.
Their latest offering, ‘Doggy’, is a humorous and instantly captivating number dedicated to life with our beloved furry chaos. The track balances rock guitar riffs with classic pop elements and a slight bluesy touch, all while exploring the funny lyrics about a headstrong dog who thinks he’s a wolf. The song succeeds entirely because it takes the little challenges of everyday life and handles them with a welcome dose of humour and heart. It is, quite simply, a musical portrait of patience, joy, and the quirky moments of living together. It delivers on its promise: the melody immediately sticks in your head, and it’s guaranteed to make you tap your feet and sing along.
As the band continues to carve out a brilliant niche, ‘Doggy’ shines as a testament to their dedication to real, feel-good music. It’s an irresistible ensnaring single, delivered with grace and superb playing, inviting listeners to embrace a world where vintage meets now. A genuinely great song for all animal lovers and anyone needing an instant shot of uplifting music.
