Again: Music For A Decade: Thalatheen

11

In celebration of conquering yet another decade, we decided to put together a compilation of some of the strongest and most inspirational songs we had ever heard in our lives. This compilation was set to be a benchmark of a new era and also a collection of the songs that have influenced me the most. Although one would think that picking your favorite songs of a lifetime is easy, this was probably one of the hardest compilations we have had to put together. First off, for a crazed music fan, its hard to nitpick tracks that have made a change in your life. Music is not stagnant and certain songs may have special meanings during times and not during others. Still, we managed to go down our entire library and we ended up with 70+ tracks, so we had to scale down.

All of the songs on here have had a great influence on us growing up and living through. Unlike other compilations, all of the tracks have the lyrics embedded in them. Also, all of the songs are dedicated to someone. These dedications are in some cases tied to the memory of hearing the song or it has lyrical connotation or merely general unrelated dedications. Some of the tracks on Thalatheen speak of epochs of memories. So, this one’s coming from the heart and it’s our gift to you. Yes, we give gifts out on our birthday! lol.

Video Premiere: “Foreign Language” by Flight Facilities

1

How come none of the other blogs caught this, one of the best songs of the year got the video treatment and only a few people viewed it! This is a grower as we said before, the album must be stellar! Sydney duo Flight Facilities have their brand new single “Foreign Language feat. Jess” out now on iTunes. Flight Facilities very first solo track “Crave You” took everyone by surprise; 2 Sydney DJ / producers that cut their teeth with cult party remixes, created what became arguably the best pop track of 2010 and we think it’s pretty safe to say that “Foreign Language feat. Jess” has all the right ingredients for another timeless summer anthem.

 

Sexy Track: “Ouch That Hurt” by Dionne Bromfield

1

Many people think that Dione Bromfield is a product of Amy Winehouse‘s imagination. But, that is not the least true. With the rate she is going, she could easily be one of the biggest stars of the decade. Here we see Dionne Bromfield trying to continue the legacy of a genre that died too early, like Jackswing. If there was a natural continuation of Motown, it would be Dionne Bromfield’s Good To The Soul. One this song specially, Bromfield brings the traditional beats with a modern mentality with coquettish lyrics. It brings back puppy love like no other and makes you feel all warm and loved-up inside. This should be the next single!

Sexy Track: “Yeah Right” by Dionne Bromfield

1

Leave it to Amy Winehouse’s protegé to do what all of Prince’s protegé’s couldn’t – get past being a one hit wonder. We Dionne Bromfield was introduced to us she did the Motown classics to show us what she is capable of and it was very easy to digest. Now, she’s out on her own limb and doing original music. This single from her sophomore album Good For The Soul is just that – good for the soul. Not forgetting the Motown element, these tracks have modern sensibility with a Soul Train attitude. It can be a great radio tune if given the time, but it can also make you get up and shake it.
