We discovered Diane Birch serendipitously and fell in love with her. So, when we heard she was to release a covers album of some 80s and 90s classics, we were ready to jump on it. It’s downloading as of now on iTunes, so there will be no review for now, but we are sure it will be lovely.
Joan As Police Woman is back with her third full-length album of original material this 2011. This is the first single and it a little midtempo ditty to please all.
We need a new album right about now.
New pop starlet Natalia Kills continues launching herself with this video of “Activate My Heart.”
“Years go by
Will I still be waiting
For somebody else to understand
Years go by
If I’m stripped of my beauty
And the orange clouds
Raining in head
Years go by
Will I choke on my tears
Till finally there is nothing left
One more casualty
You know we’re too easy Easy Easy”
- Tori Amos on “Silent All These Years”
Lady Gaga has been trying to be MIA right before the release of her third album Born This Way, but her fame-mongering ways can’t be stopped and we love it. Here she is giving us some Parisian in Vanity Fair.
Eartha Kitt, Maria Muldaur, Everclear, RuPaul, Kate Ceberano, Taylor Horn ,Shakira, Madonna, Jhene, Macy Gray, Natalie Merchant, Faith Evans, Boney James, The Pussycat Dolls, LeAnn Rimes, Kellie Pickler, Mae West, Paloma Faith and Taylor Swift did it, but no one nailed it like Kylie Minogue.
She’s everywhere!
As much as we love Paloma Faith, she needs to get off promoting her debut and getting down to making some new sounds.
Jose Gonzalez, one of our favorite sombre folkies, is coming to Kuwait. REUSE 4.0 is clocking him in between his Australian and European tour with his new band Junip to stop over in Kuwait City for a one night only show at the environmentally conscious exhibition. His show will be of his solo material from both his albums, Veneer and In Our Nature, which are Loft965.com favorites. The show will take place in the Australian College of Kuwait (ACK).
Let’s hope we hear some new songs alongside classics like “Heartbeats,” “Crosses” and the impeccable cover of Kylie Minogue’s “Hand On Your Heart.” Click below for more information on how to buy the tickets for the January 11th show.
Overdosing on Florence + The Machine in 2009 makes this American resurrection of their album look like the revival that come to early. But, it’s still one of the best rock album we had ever heard.
When we first heard that Mariah Carey was doing a Christmas album we cringed, why? We had never heard of a sophomore Christmas album by a pop artist to do well. What we forgot is Mariah Carey is probably the best artist on earth today to cater to that seasonal niche. Merry Christmas II You delivered strong vocals and festive numbers. The strongest of which is not a folkloric covers, but a song she wrote herself specifically for this album. “When Christmas Comes” follows in the same soul sub-genre of a little-known track Mariah did for her Charmbracelet album titled “Subtle Invitation,” which was also a standout. It fuses elements of soul, gospel, pop and balladry into one, making for a confection that only Mariah could come up with – perfect.
Cher needs to get rid of this Kathy Griffin wig asap.
