Ceremonials, Florence And The Machine’s second eagerly-awaited album, has landed. This is the first single and the first video. It looks like that “Amadeus” video from the 80s’. This looks like a promising start and is quiet lovely, we must say. It’s not that far of a stretch from Lungs, though.
Leave it to the UK to take soul elements that have always existed since the inception of the genre and recreate them into beautiful 21st century ditties without overproduction or glitz. Daley is the newest soul child on the scene. His voice is grandiose, his beats are fluttering and the overall composition is just mesmerizing. This is red-wine-in-the-sheets material although the lyrics are more of an ultimatum. It takes the basic essence of neosoul and merges it with a Britsoul tint. We will be hearing much more from Daley.
this song never gets old, but we think we’d be irked if we saw her perform at that venue.
Tori Amos working hard on the promotional wheel. Night Of Hunters might not be our favorite effort of hers, but we still love a Tori Amos interview.
This legendary post goes back to one of the greatest eras in modern music history. Disco, came and uplifted everyone and made everything better. However, that was short-lived but the byproducts of this genre still with us today. There’s always a rock revival of sorts, but we think there should be a disco revival and this song is proof of how badly we need it.
Two minutes ago we were taken aback by Selah Sue. Her voice, attitude and her demeanor is not that of the average singer. We are very excited about her and are looking forward to listening to more and more. Here’s a synopsis of her story: “Selah Sue was not destined to become an artist. “I grew up in a really little town in Belgium, and none of my family was into music,” reveals the twenty‐one year old, with refreshing sincerity. “As a kid, I wanted to be a ballerina. I danced from the age of six to twelve”. Even without romanticising it, her story is like a fairy tale. It’s the story of a young musician who ignores her fate, and pours her anxieties into her songs and her guitar. “I had all these worries and depressions that I wrote down, it was a way of structuring my thoughts”.
To tell you the truth this song is an eyesore. For one the biggest ballads of this decade and the #1 song in the world, this is a sham and proof that some record companies are out there merely for profiteering. For a minute there, it looked like the record company was not going to release another video and only relied on her previous live performance, which propelled the sing to the top of the UK charts. But, this is just inexcusable, the live version’s video would have been a better offering.
