Fleet Foxes’ music review

Author: Stephen Yarham  //  Category: MP3songs

Fleet FoxesSweethearts of this year’s SXSW festival and praised by Mojo as ‘America’s next wonderful band’, this Seattle five-piece explain their music as ‘baroque harmonic pop jams’. All the above looks right except that it’s tough to conceive pop music as created as this developing from a jam session. The band’s lead singer and songwriter Robin Pecknold introduces melodies that are different but similar. How this band could be called as a new one? They sound like they’ve been playing this music always and they’re amazing.

Apocalypso By The Presets

Author: Stephen Yarham  //  Category: MP3songs

Are you craving for The Presets in your life? The Sydney based duet are the other example- engaging in Cut Copy, Wolf mother etc- of the massive wave of exhaling from Australia and amazing Modular label.

Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes met at Sydney’s Conservatorium of Music, sharpening their classical skills during the daytime, while showing themselves through the club scene, to the magic of New Order Read more…

Every Mouth Must Be Fed By Various Artists

Author: Stephen Yarham  //  Category: MP3songs

Joe Higgs’ successful Life of Contradiction was going to be a hard act forever. But, having piqued our urge in Higgs and his tour de force, they have now, cunningly, changed their attention to the label that introduced it, Micron Music. Based at 14 Retirement Road, Kingston JA, this undervalued outfit used several studios and producers - including Bunny Lee, Lee Perry and co-owner Pete Weston, who has major share of credits here - yet kept a continuing sound, rendering the bouncy, rhythms of early 70s reggae.

Putting It To Bed By Tim Daniel

Author: Stephen Yarham  //  Category: MP3songs

Tim Daniel has always been regarded as a talented singer who has a unique style of song writing. The most amazing fans of Tim Daniel are Gary Barlow and Fern Britten and he gladly claims credit for songs by Lemar, Delta Goodrem and Simon Webbe. After eight years of low key backroom songwriting and probably provoked into action by the success of James Blunt, at last Daniel has decided to unveil his solo debut album.

That the public will praise him as they did Blunt is immensely unlikely Read more…

Little Voice By Sara Bareilles

Author: Stephen Yarham  //  Category: MP3songs

Sara Bareilles is a 28 year old American singer-songwriter and pianist. Her career has been nurtured after signing of a major label deal three years ago. Before this period, she had recorded a self produced album, Careful Confession in 2003. After doing a stupendous business in UK, it has taken a whole year to release it in the UK with fear that her album would be lost in the flood of female single song writers loading up the AOR airwaves. But her Little Voice exhibits much more competent grasp of pop dynamics and her voice stables sultry with strident wonderfully.

Coldplay Coldplay : Viva La Vida Or Death & All His Friend

Author: Stephen Yarham  //  Category: MP3songs

The stadium proof nature of Coldplay makes them undeniably good. Viva La Vida has much more that can wind you up with its nameless heartache tools of Satan, they have huge choruses that contain wordless exhortation, vaporous lyrics and one note bass line.

Coldplay have managed to effortlessly make record that has been accomplished by them by bringing Brian Eno onboard as sonic nurse Read more…

Dolly Parton: Backwoods Barbie

Author: Stephen Yarham  //  Category: MP3songs

Dolly PartonBackwoods Barbie is the recent album by Dolly Rebecca Parton. She seems like some cartoon production never revealing in anything less than high heels and a balance gravity defying hairdo. In the UK, her unreservedness is loved my ever one. Her career has been refreshed by the support of national institutions like Sir Terry Wogan who became a one man commercial tool on the release of her bluegrass album many years ago. In the States she is still more praised for her mainstream career. She is very much targeted at that market.

Co-produced by her bandleader, Kent Wells and leading no less that nine self –penned tracks Read more…

Nicole Atkins:Neptune City

Author: admin  //  Category: MP3songs

Nicole AtkinsNicole Atkins is an amazing American singer and song writer who works with the reputed band Nicole Atkins and the Sea. She went her trade sans band before restoring her outfit The Sea, back in 2005. A right amount of her debut album influences her into a world of 60s grandiosity. It gets from Nashville, just as Roy Orbison has done, but it lives into a world of its own.

The opening single Maybe Tonight is really high, Brill Building boosts of 60s pop that gives out warning signals of the ‘over produced’ and ‘pompous’ nature.

‘Where’s the dark, David Lynchian undertow?’ you ponder. Seriously, this is yet another strike at the retro pop market, already swamped with Winehouses and her ilk. For, sure enough, the incredible production by Tore Johansson flatters something unbeatable from this 29-year-old. Like the anti-Springsteen, she delivers elegancy, over-the-top twang-wet ballads that both romanticize her native New Jersey and yet still throw in a bright heart of country noir.

Paul Weller : 22 Dreams

Author: admin  //  Category: Latest Album Review

22 Dreams has released on June8, 2008 and it is the ninth solo album of Paul Weller. This album states that Weller is a free person who can move wherever he wants to. Joined by producer/arranger Simon Dine as well as guitarist, Steve Cradock, the two keywords to this album must be diversity and zing. Right, Woking’s perfect son looks to have unbounded and let the tape roll.

In spite of the reports to the contrast, old school fans will look the usual traits in place among the cosmic jazz and Tom Waits piano balladeering: The Small Faces, Traffic, Curtis Mayfield and John Martyn still figure big in the album’s landscape. The difference is that here it’s quite a slavish, didactic desire to oppose for rock of yore. And by disclosing the studio to his friend’s, he’s also allowed the old genres to be transformed. Have You Made Up Your Mind may be all Superfly on the surface, but Simon Dine’s strings add a wonderful sheen of 60s touch.
