It sure seems as though duos are the hip musical trend these days. I know there were plenty of successful duos prior to The White Stripes, but it seems as they were the ones to popularize the current wave of duos (primarily male/female) so plentiful these days. Whether one looks to The Ting Tings, Mates of State, Let's Whisper, or Matt & Kim my perception is duos are making their mark to a greater degree in modern rock than in previous eras. Heck, country music even has male/female duos such as Joey + Rory springing up though country music duos aren't especially anything new.
This brings me to my newest favorite duo, Little & Ashley. Despite possible first impressions, Little is actually Annie Little while the Ashley part of the equation is the surname of one Marcus Ashley. Apparently they met in Los Angeles on the open-mic circuit and started listening to music together while forming Little & Ashley.
You may recognize their songs from the Amazon Kindle commercials now airing in the United States. While two songs are in circulation on commercials, 'Stole My Heart' is the one with which I instantly became enamored. Give it a listen. Perhaps they will steal your heart as well.
