I feel that there’s a filter on her mic or that the song is sung in such a register that it’s just breathier than it seems on the album. I always seem to be a fan of performances on Alan Carr’s show and don’t you love how they either wash out Alison’s face with light or hide her in the shadows? It’s as if we’re never supposed to see her true age.
Fair enough. And seriously, when will she stop wearing my outfits!
What I’ve determined is that if Katy Perry just did dance music (or anyone really…) I would be so on board with her from the get-go. However, she doesn’t. She does make some catchy songs and good pop songs, but at times her lyrics are so retarded and trite that I just find her nauseating at times. But I digress.
Let’s talk about each track on Teenage Dream, shall we?
Alexandra Burke has certainly come a long way since winning X-Factor in late 2008 and it’s been almost a year since she’s released her album in the UK -- we’re still waiting on this side of the pond, of course. Simon Cowell has attributed this delay in that she’s wanting to polish her skills and find the rights songs to put on the album for the good old US of A so as to not repeat that horrific Leona Lewis blunder(s).
This song is…meh. But I enjoy the video. It’s a nice pop moment and she surely does evoke some raw sexuality. And that’s why I’m on board. Rumor also has it she shot a US version of this in America not that long ago.
Goldfrapp – Believer (Davide Rossi Reinterpretation) from Myler Moss on Vimeo.
Above is the Davide Rossi Reinterpretation of Goldfrapp’s third single from the Head First album, Believer. I enjoy the song, but I feel it sounds a little too much in the same vein as Alive and I wish they would have opted for something that had a more unique tone or sound to it that the general public haven’t heard yet. And as I wrote that, I laughed because I think, “Do Goldfrapp get played on the radio anywhere?”
Remixes will be coming soon (and a video too I hope) by Little Cloud, Vince Clarke, Subway and Joris Voorn.
I feel it’s also worth mentioning that Alison recently lost her mother but has truly been a champ and continued to tour despite her loss.
I enjoyed her last video for The Flood, and this video is pretty awesome, but the song…meh.
Probably my most anticipated album of the year has arrived and Aphrodite has been the total breathe of fresh air that I was hoping for. This time Kylie shot for a more cohesive album and got it right. Even leading with All The Lovers, it now makes sense in the context of the album, where it kicks everything else off. A sweeping, sentimental club song – who would’ve thought those still existed, especially with a complete breakdown in the middle 8 section that then leads to a sonic explosion. A fitting opener. Read more for the track-by-track review, even of the bonus tracks…
Check out the behind the scenes clip for the new track Spaceship by Benny Benassi featuring Kelis, Apl.de.ap and Jean Baptiste. The track is awesome and is available on Itunes now. It’s a perfect compliment to Flesh Tone, so tack it on the end for a mixtape.
The ‘Spaceship (Remixes)’ package includes a wide range of remixes from an incredible selection of artists: Fedde le Grand; EDX; Kris Menace; The Toxic Avenger; Datsu; Alex Gaudino & Jason Rooney; Nadastrom and Pance Party. The full video, which from the looks of the clip above is going to be awesome, premieres June 28.
