Muse – Uprising

admin — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 08:36:42 +0000

A great track by a great group.

Although I’ve heard of the group I’d not equated their music to the band. It was only watching X Factor Australia that I heard this song and worked through Amazon to find the band and the song. Their albums are now on my birthday wish list.

Mr Hudson – White Lies

While looking around for some new albums to buy, came across Straight No Chaser by Mr Hudson.

I’m just about to order the album and found this track on the album – can’t stop playing it.

Funnily enough this music video was posted onto the web exactly one year ago today. Meant to be!

Willow Smith-Whip My Hair

admin — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 13:46:09 +0000

Willow Smith, daughter of Will Smith has released a record and apparently is going to sign up to Jay-Z’s record label.

She is only 9 and although there seem to be a number of comments regarding the song being auto tuned and very manufactured . . . who cares. Most songs are finely tuned and tampered with before being released and this is a great song.

To check it out go to http://www.willowsmith.com/.

If you were in a night club and this was playing loud I would defy anyone to not want to get up and dance to it.

She may be in a privileged position with her dad having the right contacts but it sounds like she has picked up on Will’s talent. I just hope it’s not too much too soon.

Kelly Clarkson – My Life Would Suck Without You

admin — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:17:00 +0000

Forgotten about this fab track. This is from her album All I Ever Wanted.

Think it’s probably time to buy the latest album.

It looks as though it will be as good as Breakaway, probably even better.

By the way does anyone else think she looks a bit like Jennifer Aniston in this video?

Here is a snippet of the songs from the latest album.

Daughtry – What About Now

admin — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 22:38:43 +0000

This track entered the charts last week and is now at number 11. Chris Daughtry was in the 5th American Idol series and came fourth.

This is an nice easy track and is from his self named band Daughtry.

Their album Leave This Town is a great rock album. Listen to snippets below.

The Temper Trap – Live in Birmingham

admin — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:11:09 +0000

The Temper Trap playing live at the Hare and Hounds Pub, Kings Heath, Birmingham – Monday 28th September 2009 supported by Goldhawks.

Promoted by Birmingham Promoters.

What a fantastic night. Still can’t believe we’ve been to see them, with all the anticipation waiting for the night to come, it seemed to be over in a flash. They played songs from the album Conditions and had the crowd rocking.

Having seen them live it now seems to make the CD sound even better and far more special.

Temper Trap sound as good live, if not better, than the CD itself, which really says something about the talent of this band.

Dougie is the main vocals

Lorenzo (left) on guitar

Jonathon (right) on bass

Toby on drums (can just make him out at the back)

And of course not forgetting their support band Goldhawks who were equally as fabulous. Will definitely buy their album and would go and see them in concert again.

New York by Paloma Faith

admin — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:44:58 +0000

New in the top 40 charts is this record from Paloma Faith. Called New York, it went straight in at no 21.

Sounds like quite an interesting character. Amongst other things she has been a magicians assistant, appeared in the new Terry Gilliam film “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” and appeared in the St Trinian’s film as Andrea the Emo.

Interesting and lovely voice. Very listenable (is that even a word?)

Her new album is out now called Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful.

Click on the picture left for more information.

To hear snippets from the album you can hear them below.

On some of the tracks she sounds like a cross between Duffy and Amy Winehouse (this is a compliment as both artists are good).

Favourite tracks at the moment are Smoke and Mirrors and Play On, but to be honest they all sound brilliant.

Hallelujah by ortopilot

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 19:45:53 +0000

Thanks to Clarepip on Twitter for introducing this singer who goes by the name of ortopilot.

He has a beautiful voice and this version of Hallelujah is truly haunting.

It looks like he’s been busy covering a number of songs which you can also see when you visit the link at the bottom of this page, most of them acoustic covers. Sex on Fire cover is great but I have a feeling all his covers will be.

He also writes his own music and you can find ortopilot, real name Matt Hutchinson on his own website.

Also check out this fun song he’s done with NSG called Jolly Good Fun. Click here to watch the video. Stay with it to get the most from it.

Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 21:45:45 +0000

I may be a little behind with this song, but I only heard it for the first time when being sung by Jamie Archer on the X Factor (who sang it brilliantly).

Below are snippets of the album.

Keep Your Head Up by Girls Can’t Catch

admin — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:06:24 +0000

Jumping straight into the charts this is a real feel good track. Look forward to hearing more from Girls Can’t Catch

The band is signed to British pop label Fascination who also look after Girls Aloud, Sophie Ellis Bexter and The Jonas Brothers.

Girls Can’t Catch is made up of 18 year old Phoebe Brown, 18 year old Jess Stickley and 24 year old Daizy Agnew.
