teeshirt Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 I like Luomo's Vocalcity too! Listening to it now, Tessio sounds as slinky as it was first heard fifteen years ago. There have been some really good albums by Singaporean groups in the last few years. I love Hanging Up The Moon, Just picked up Phew's A New World. Gonna file it under Difficult Listening. Quote

glowingember Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 (edited) Another gem from Donna Missal. She's like the vocal of Lana Del Rey and the music arrangement of a rockish Portishead. Maybe it's still early to tell. Arghhhh luv luv luv. Just found another of her songs, but it's not in iTune! Edited August 7, 2016 by glowingember Quote After all, tomorrow is another day. ~ S O'Hara

derryfawne Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Ooooooh it's so good to see this thread is still alive and kicking after 7 years. I have since become more of a poptimist myself and no longer see the need to be a snobbish elitist. I like my Britney Spears just as much as I like my Bjork. Meanwhile, I have been re-listening to Sarah Mclachlan lately, especially circa Afterglow era. Fallen is such a beautiful and painful song. And then there is Dirty Little Secret, probably among her finest but I can't find a YouTube link. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
derryfawne Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Also, can we shout out to our favorite guitar songstress from the early 2000s whom had matured gracefully from teenage rock to the alternative-influenced pop scene. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
derryfawne Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 And have we discussed Portishead? Because they are absolutely, heart-wrenchingly, bloody good. I have accepted that Roads is their pinnacle, but I still can't decide which of their three albums is their magnum opus. Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
derryfawne Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Can someone explain to me the brilliance of FKA Twigs though? She always strikes to me as someone I would love, but for whatever reason her genius(?) never really rubs me. Quote “Do not take life too seriously.

(Self Control) And some collaboration on Novacane I think he was going well until Kendrick lamaar and drake came to the forefront. But yeah frank’s first two albums were very nice. I loved its smoothness. Quote
derryfawne Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Anyone noticed the slow, gradual merging of alternative and pop values into the current alt-pop scene? It started around 2011 when Adele opened the door for the likes of Lorde, Gotye, Foster the People, The Lumineers, Of Monsters & Men, Imagine Dragons, etc. to chart success. These artists are essentially still alt artists, just with a tiny bit more success than your average Pitchfork stars (well, except arguably for Adele which is really more of a singer-songwriter type; but hey if we consider Suzanne Vega closer to Kate Bush than Madonna, then I guess Adele counts too). And then came the likes of Lana Del Rey, Marina & the Diamonds, Azealia Banks, Charli XCX, Sky Ferreira, which were first embraced by the alt community, but this time they openly experiment and infuse pop sounds into their alt framework. (Not to mention openly embrace larger-than-life visuals into their persona which is straight from classic Madonna textbook; we could even argue Lady Gaga is part of this wave, as we can now evidently see she's really a rock star/singer-songstress in pop diva costume, just that her phenomenal success makes it difficult for us to claim her as alt in any way.) And by the time we get to Dua Lipa, the boundary has been 100% blurred. And I'm loving this full-on alt-pop convergence. "Be The One" is effortlessly exuberant electro-synth which tastefully borrows elements of early 2000s dance music with big choruses that are unashamedly catchy and pop. "Hotter Than Hell" comes with even bigger, anthemic choruses and is arguably even better.... with classic Millenial lyricism ("Can you feel the warmth as my kiss goes down you like some sweet alcohol?") paired with irresistible club beats, perfectly capturing the essence of the modern generation while remaining intriguing instead of coming across as try-hard or crass. A coulda-been future classic for Generation 2010s? But if you think Dua Lipa is all about PARTY BANGERZ, no... not really. Listen to her smoky contralto channeling her inner Amy Winehouse in "I Can't Stop Thinking About You". And a little bit Tori Amos-ism with sultry beats sans piano ("In the beginning, God created Heaven and Earth / For what it's worth, I think that he might've created you first") in "Genesis". Makes you wonder what Tori Amos would have sounded if she had chosen to chase those "Raspberry Swirl" and "Professional Widow" remix hits instead of resuming her confessional sound.

derryfawne Posted April 8, 2018 Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) Allie X is pretty much like an indier E.MO.TION-era Carly Rae Jepsen. Glossy 1980s synthpop modernized for the 2010s and polished to perfection. That's So Us is THE BOP. Vintage sounds like it could be Madonna's "Holiday" with lots of cosmic bleeps. Brilliant, brilliant stuff. Edited April 8, 2018 by derryfawne glowingember 1 Quote “Do not take life too seriously. You’ll never get out of it alive.” — Elbert Hubbard
