"Mama Coconut" Adriana Kaegi "Delivers" with new chill-out single

After the success of her 2009 electronica CD, Tag, Kid Creole and the Coconuts co-founder Adriana Kaegi continues to create her own brand of downbeat lounge "chill-out" music. Her latest single, "He Delivers," is a combination of charming lyrics, smooth pace and rhytmic ease with Kaegi's sultry vocals. The track is the follow-up to her enchanting 2010 tune "I've Been Going Out."

"He Delivers" is a sultry, romantic love track featuring Kaegi smoothly transitioning between a tempting tenuto to a cute, bouncy staccato and a little spoken word. Through her lyrics, Adriana describes the "man of her dreams" as not the typical hunk or faceman but a person she feels comfortable with, makes her smile and can "deliver like FexEx."  Adding to her melody is a   lounge room bassline, some mellow synth and an elegant harmon-muted trumpet.

Kaegi collaborated on "He Delivers" with producer and longtime hitmaker Ron Rogers, a fellow former Ze Records talent. Rogers' savvy on the board adds an extra deminsion to the song, much as he did for past effots with Adriana and his numerous hits from the 1970s onward. The two have an enviable musical chamistry that illuminates as it comes together to develop this quirky, yet graceful piece.
