I’m really loving this new bit of broody indie from Crooked Hands.
So Justin’s comeback…
… I’ll be honest, I still can’t fully embrace this Suit & Tie track. I think more than anything, it wasn’t what I was expecting from Mr Timberlake.
But there’s no doubt that it’s a pretty sleek piece of pop. So I’ll keep giving it a chance. For all we know, the next single might be what we were expecting…
New Music: Four Phonica
There’s a lot of rock, and a lot of electro in this sound, but it works really well together. Gives me a 90’s Placebo feeling inside of me. Check out here.
New Music: Dag Savage
It’s nice to hear new hip hop that isn’t brash and in your face, sometimes. Check out here.
Ifan Dafydd – Celwydd
Ifan Dafydd is one of those talents who have the ability to make something so mesmerising that it stops you from doing anything and gets you transfixed with the sounds.
New Music: Russell Dean Stone
I quite like this. I guess you’d describe it as electro goth and it’s already getting some good feedback from Garbage’s Shirley Manson. Check out here.
New Music: Rare Times
Wynter Gordon – Human Condition Pt 2: Sanguine
This is the second EP from Wynter Gordon, and it’s just as impressive as her first Human Condition collection.
New Music: Malene Q
New Music: SSION
New Music: KAMP!
New Music: Emily King
Smooth and very well crafted RnB. Feels a bit 90’s and that makes me warm inside. Has a 90’s Janet Jackson vibe around it somehow. Check out here.
Du Tonc
I’m loving this disco debut from super group Du Tonc (Matt Van Schie of Van She fame and Mighty Mouse). It’s out on the Cheap Thrills label
Doo Wop
Loving this remix of Lauryn Hill’s ‘Doo Wop’ by Pedestrian & Maribou State. Happy Friday!
New Music: ChetMega
New Music: Mercury
I love this video, and the track will make you go slightly mad on the inside. That’s how good this is. Check out here.
New Music: Daniel James
New Music: Ms. Henrik
This is a bit different. It’s Swedish electro but it sounds like nothing I’ve heard before. I’m not sure what it sounds like, but I really love the sound! Check out here.
Ask Embla
I had no idea that this Scandinavian duo were behind Shontelle’s ‘Impossible’. I learn something new on Scandipop every time I go on there. Anyway, their new track is brilliant.
Interview: Quickfire with Jordan Corey
Featured back in November last year, I’ve been a fan of Jordan Corey’s sound ever since. It’s hard not to like it really. So when the opportunity arose at throwing a few questions at Jordan’s way, I thought why not…
So Jordan, for those who aren’t familiar with your music, tell us a bit more about you… Where do you draw inspiration from when writing your tracks?
I draw inspiration from everyday life. When I write I pull from unknown places, I usually don’t realize what I’ve written about until the song is finished.
What’s your favourite song to perform?
Favorite song to perform would have to be “Heart Of Stone” – I love the guts behind it.
How has the response been to your latest EP ‘Do Me Wrong’ been?
I have been fortunate to have a great response to the EP. Being named an iHeartRadio artist to watch is huge, so I am just happy it is being well received within the music community.
What was the best bit of advice someone ever gave you about being a performer?
I’d say to entertain. Thats what being a performer is. You gotta give people something they have never seen before. Live in it.
What do you have planned for the year ahead?
Planned for the year ahead is a new release! So new music, new creative material, and tour dates will also be announced. It should be an exciting 2013!
