MDP / Ella Taronc — Falling in Love

I ran into Ed Abrahamyan, lead vocalist and keyboard player with Manic Depressive Psychosis (MDP) last night, and he pointed me towards a downloadable new version of Falling in Love, re-recorded with Ella Taronc on vocals. Taronc is perhaps Armenia’s only truly original contemporary pop singer, and while I’m still not sure on the vocals at the beginning, it certainly grows on me for the final two thirds of the song.
The mp3 can be downloaded from the MDP web site, and while you’re at it, why not check out some of the band’s solo material. There’s an interview with Abrahamyan here, and photographs of the band playing live at the Recent Rock the Referendum festival here.
