http://www.A3Network.com. One EskimO "Kandi" Shangri-La Music. Album release date is Sept 22 2009. An alternative rock band led by British singer/songwriter Kristian Leontiou, One eskimO made their album debut in 2009 with All Balloons. Hailing from London, England, Leontiou began his recording career as a solo artist. Upon signing a major-label recording deal with Polydor, he made his full-length solo album debut in 2004 with Some Day Soon. The album was a hit in the United Kingdom, spawning the Top Ten hit single "Story of My Life" in addition to a few follow-up singles. Leontiou was unhappy with the direction of his solo career, however, and adopted the One eskimO moniker for a guest feature on the song "Hope & Glory" from the Faithless album To All New Arrivals (2006). In time, One eskimO expanded to become a quartet comprised of Pete Rinaldi (guitar), Jamie Sefton (bass, horns), and Adam Falkner (drums), in addition to Leontiou (vocals). With the full-band lineup in place, One eskimO made their commercial recording debut in 2007 with the single "Hometime." Released independently on the Little Polar Records label, "Hometime" was licensed for use in a Toyota Prius advertisement in the United States. A couple years later the band released "Kandi" as the follow-up single, plus Debut EP (2009), a four-track EP released stateside featuring the single. Around this same time, One eskimO toured North America as the opening act of Tori Amos on her Sinful Attraction Tour and re-released "Hometime." Meanwhile, the release of the band's full-length album debut, All Balloons (2009), was pushed back from June until September. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

  • Harlan Howard, a superstar songwriter in Country Music, wrote He Called Me Baby in 1962. Patsy Cline was the very first to record the heartbreaking mournful ballad in 1963.. All the other artists took their turn and gave it their best shot in their own style & interpretation of the song. One Eskimo incorporated the chorus of He Called Me Baby into their own expression and vocals of this fine story telling tune and gave exposure to all of the other artists who have ever recorded this song.

    I have the CD, it is a soothing collection of songs that is good to listen to when stuck in traffic or anytime. Kandi (He Called Me Baby) is my favorite song from the CD. Top 40 radio is playing it, One Eskimo is out in concerts and venues promoting it & they have millions who support them.

    One Eskimo is a very talented band

  • @C00cooCAchoo no worries! ;)

  • @ThecuttingEj My bad... awkward.....

  • @C00cooCAchoo i was agreeing with you :)

  • @ThecuttingEj what are you talking about? All I said was this should have more views. Calm your tits. 

  • @C00cooCAchoo yeah especially since i 'discovered' this song on vh1 while i was getting ready for work one morning like over a year ago..!?

  • *hott*

  • Just A Great Song. Should be noticed more.....

  • Why doesn't this have more views? Mix an an oldie with a band that can produce enough soul to highlight it and BOOM you have a hit.

  • LOve iT!!!

  • Kick-ass totally awesome song, it rocks!!! love the startup guitar plucking then the build up, instrumentals are superb, esp diggeridoo and the vibes, such creative genius that vocal duet with Kandi Stanton sample they did it justice,in fact I would say Kandi sounded even better, so raw, origin from Pasty Kline, I didn't know before, they paid some homage to her and Kandi, but it's a totally different song in the look and feel and modernized. A bit of a twist to the original. Love the bass 2.
