~ Amanda Zelina – “Obsessed With You” ~
A sweet pop-soul tune from up and coming singer/songwriter Amanda Zelina. Taken from her debut album Love Me Till I’m Me Again which has been two years in the making. The more I listen to this track, the more I like it.
~ Performance – “Love Life” ~
One of the good things about being forced to use my old computer – finding a bunch songs by alternative electro outfit Performance on the harddrive! I can’t help but compare them to 80s synth group The Human Leauge. Except Performance’s male lead singer can actually, you know, sing.
~ Alessi’s Ark – “Magic Weather” ~
Next to Polly Scattergood, Alessi’s Ark is probably one of the most hyped English acts at the moment. Alessi is still only in her late teens but sounds far wiser than her young age. Her music is incredibly warm and inviting, which this lovely tune perfectly illustrates.
~ Madison Park vs. Lenny B – “More Than This” (Lenny B’s Extended Club Mix) ~
The original by Roxy Music is one of my all time favorite songs – I love it to bits. This downtempo dance version is by no means better (like that could even be possible!) but it has a nice fleeting sound to it. So yeah, I like it.
~ Captain – “Animal” ~
New track from Captain, yay! While it doesn’t grip me immediately as “Glorious” did, “Animal” grows by each spin. And Rik Flynn’s raspy vocals are just…guh. Can’t wait for their new album.
Not Completely Useless
Mar 16th
My life computer is still in the shop and the one I’m using now is a bit…unreliable to say the least, so I can’t do do much on this end I’m afraid. Still, here’s a little update with some good songs I found on my current computer, proving that it’s not completely useless. The above (and very cool) picture is by Kolbeinn Karlsson.
~ Captain – “Glorious” ~
~ Morella’s Forrest – “Lush Of Spring” ~
~ Zero 7 – “You’re My Flame” ~
~ Yvonne feat. Karin Dreijer – “Lost In The City Nights” ~
~ Katie Reider – “Trusted Eyes” ~
~ Her Vanished Grace – “Early Bird (Neon Ultra Remix)” ~
