Indie?

I don’t know about you, but when I first heard Lil Chris’ song ‘Checking it out’, I thought it sounded extremely indie. I was kind of expecting his music to be a lot more emo and more heavy, but after listening to Checking it out, I realised he actually has quite an indie sound to his voice.

 At the beginning of his Checking it out song, his voice sounds far from emo. It’s only when the chorus begins that the song gets slightly more emo. He even has the little indie high-pitched squeaks in his song like other indie artists do. In my opinion, I really liked it, but whether that is because I’m a fan of indie music or not, I don’t know.

Also, listening to his song “Getting Enough”, I personally think it’s far from emo. His first verse again I think is really indie, and even his chorus.

Perhaps in the future, Lil Chris may start doing more indie music? What do you think?

I’d also quite like to know what fans of emo and rock music think of Lil Chris’ song Checking it out, whether they also liked it or perhaps were disappointed that the song was not more emo like it was made out to be.
