Since hitting it big time at the tender age of 19 in the 1990’s and becoming quite the rock poster girl, the singer is back with a long-titled album the starts with and will probably be remember only as The Idler Wheel. Expect the same sound with sinister lyrics and beautiful lazy vocals. This is one of the most exciting comebacks this year!
As she personally told us here at LOFT965.com, Kelis has finished recording her new album set for 2012 release. Her record company has confirmed: “Kelis is now finishing her new album due for release in autumn 2012 and has been working with producers including Skream, BURNS, Tom Neville, Dan Black and Caspa.” This is exciting news. We want more.
Exquisite. Weird new look, but still loving it. Thanks, AM.
This is one of our all-time favorite Donna Summer tracks! It comes from the album Four Seasons Of Love, which has 6 tracks – one for each season and two for your bonus ones. This is back when concept albums made sense.
For those not in the loop, they will immediately recognize the Beyonce sample. Well, it was Donna Summer’s thing originally. Donna Summer broke onto the scene with her overtly sexual persona and lovely voice. This is an example of it. A time when sexual liberation was a profound movement. Much love to her!
We adore this!
Singer Joan Osborne talks about her life in music, her new album; Bring It On Home and how she’s developed her style. From receptionist to legendary singer, Osborne keeps it real in the ever changing music industry.
The grunge movement wasn’t merely a sub-genre of rock music. It has its own aura, sound, dynamic and even fashions. No band optimizes this movement that came out of the Northwestern states like Nirvana (well, maybe Pearl Jam, too). This track is one that rings back our teenage years of angst and rebellion. “In Bloom” is one of their best tracks and also one of the videos that identify the 90s’ as a turning point in rock music, and the genre hasn’t been as good since.
No one brings back memories of a summer spent in the Lower East Side of Manhattan like Santigold. This first single from her new album captures just that essence. Pronounced lyrics pressed upon a chill reggae-inspired melody with a surprising guitar riff – no one but Santigold can put all this elements to fruition and still make it sound ready for street speaker. It’s time some recognition was given to artists who merge genres beautifully but do not fit nicely on nomination ballots. What Santigold is going her is fusing many different sound into one midtempo track. Had it been an uptempo track it would have been a different story. This is pure musical genius.
Haley Reinhart’s first album Listen Up! has leaked all over the internet. The reality show hopeful has what it takes to make it and we love that she is not going for the mainstream pop genre which many contestants usually go for in hopes of achieving commercial success. Her track “Free” is very promising. Wait for the album to download it as she needs all the support.
