sayfirst Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Oh, forgot to write about the artiste I was going to write about just now . Got distracted.I'm totally getting Adele'd out: that album's been out for what, over a year now? So let's smear her a bit, muahaha.There's a certain chanteuse who's been around for quite some time now and her voice is today suddenly being heard everywhere on the charts, despite next to nil air play for any of her music. Give you a hint: she's not MAS nor Qantas nor BA ...It's Sia, of course! And it's probably through David Guetta for whom she sang "Titanium" that she got to know Flo Rida (who also worked with Guetta on "Club Can't Handle Me" and "Where Them Girls At") to collaborate with him on "Wild Ones".But what's this got to do with Adele? Oh not much ... but here's an old track by Sia called "Breathe Me". Ms Adele, don't you think you should start paying some royalties? At least for having had ahem piano lessons from Ms Sia? I suppose the Glory must come from sharing the same Hometown...[media=] The Last Shadow Puppets got sued by Muse for doing far less with The Knights of Cydonia.that's one of my favourite songs by sia. though i only have a few songs of hers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outernet Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Yeah... I prefer Takk myself too.Heard they're coming to SG?Yes. But tickets are abt $100+ or close to that Im not wrong. For Valtari album, I like the title track Valtari most. I got to say that most of the songs there aren't as exciting as Glosoli or Hoppipola. In fact they mostly sound 'sleepy', just like a lullaby. But somehow I just like their genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But somehow I just like their genre.Glosoli is my #1 favorite from them, and perhaps followed by Untitled #1 (Vaka).To be honest, I haven't listened to their latest album, although I did listen to everything else from them and liked what I've heard.I like their general sound, but I think it's starting to get predictable already. I think Agaetis-()-Takk is the undisputable trinity of their prime era masterpiece. Quote “Do not take life too seriously.

derryfawne Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'm glad that Ellie Goulding is on her steady way to the top of the chart (it's #6 on US Billboard right now). Good music is beginning to reign again, hopefully for good... as it would encourage the industry to promote real talents, and help the talents gain access to top-notch producers.Adele. Foster the People. Fun. Gotye. Ellie Goulding. Who's going to make the stir next?Although unlikely, I'm hoping for Alex Clare (the only alternative candidate sitting inside Billboard's Hot 100 right now). Quote “Do not take life too seriously.

derryfawne Posted June 29, 2012 Report Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) Whoops, I have neglected five other alternative-worthy songs that are also alive on the bottom half of the chart.The Black Keys - Gold On The Ceiling ( )M83 - Midnight City ( )The Lumineers - Ho Hey ( )Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks ( )Grouplove - Tongue Tied ( )Hopefully some of these will reach the top of the chart.

And I have to confess that I am too lazy to scroll through the 19 pages of youtube (because it turns my computer pretty laggy... haha)Not sure if anyone posted this before but I totally love them: Phantogram, an indie-moving-to-mainstream US band, but their music is seriously seriously amazing.(hopefully the youtube thing works...) Anybody else a fan of theirs?? Would love to know if there's another Phantogram fan in SG...Edit: Ok, I see someone posting a Phantogram video right above me in this thread haha, blur me.
