Superstar & Star - I Ain't Missing You

Superstar & Star is enough reason to start a blog like this. Trinidadian native Neville Lawrence embodies the DIY pop star; his wondrous synth-pop is suitably lo-fidelity, and his own personal brand shines through in his Caribbean accent and unique dress sense - including a shining space-age suit in the video for 'I Ain't Missing You'. He's found admirers in a younger generation of bedroom stars (Aldous R.H. and Kindness to name a couple) and as rumour has it, he's shared stages with Tupac and Snoop Dogg.
