Oslo, Norway’s Superfamily released their second album Warszawa in May, and the second single from the record, “I Could Be a Real Winner,” is, so far, unjustly trapped inside the confines of the Norwegian charts. It’s far too good a song to be kept secret from the rest of the world, however. Built on a brisk white-soul beat with a whistling hook, singer Steven Wilson channels Daryl Hall so convincingly that “Winner” feels more like a vintage Hall & Oates No. 1 than anything anyone else–including Mssrs. Hall & Oates themselves–is doing in 2007:

Wow, belated thanks for this - it’s fantastic. Like Daryl Hall crossed with Prefab Sprout.
@dennisobell: YES! Prefab Sprout. I could never put a finger on it before.
