Alan Wilkis is Pink & Purple


When I think of Alan Wilkis I think of sheet metal disposition (don't ask). I first started talking with him last year post release of his debut album, Babies Dream Big. I became a fan after hearing It's Been Great. With his sophomore release, Pink and Purple, Wilkis continues to blow me away with blasts of mid-80's inspired pop reminiscent of a Michael Jackson swagger. On N.I.C.E, Wilkis blends a futuristic flock of beats with vintage synths to create a melodramatic pot of electro-pop stew. While the title track, Pink and Purple, is a non-stop roller coaster ride filled with frenzied loops and laden in high flying handclaps. This, my friends, is genre jumping at its finest.

6 flags? More fun? Most definitely.

    It's fun though! I think P&P sounds a lot like Michael Jackson.
