Day 56: Olly Murs feat. Rizzle Kicks - Heart Skips A Beat

There's an advantage of travelling by public transport (compared to driving a car). You can actually do something while travelling. Today I've got that advantage and I really like it. I even got time to make a post. I defintely will do this more often, so more good posts from me.

Olly Murs, the runner up of Great Britain's X-factor 2010, is a giant star in the UK but in the Netherlands, we haven't heard a lot from him yet. That is gonna change with the release of his second studio album on November 28 2011: "In Case You Didn't Know". Today's single is from that album. It has been produced in cooperation with the Rizzle Kicks (rap duo from the UK) and has already hit the nr. 1 position in the UK. Now, it's time for the Netherlands.

Good beat, funky, catchy chorus.. Interesting rap by the Rizzle Kicks, nice breaks.. Just a really good song for the radio for this autumn. It makes my heart skip a beat..

Day 56: Lime Cordial - Say It

Goodmorning World. On this beautiful sunny Sunday I present you a fresh song to start your day with. It's from Lime Cordial, a band from Sydney, Australia. From their "mutual love
of all things pop and their desire to create original and exciting music" they started to make music and this is their first single.

I find it fresh, creative and exciting and it really makes some endorphine flowing around. It's good. And you.. ?
I'd recommend: Go out today, enjoy the weather, and talk with people about your dreams, your passion, just say it, say it ... ;-)

Day 55: Kimbra - Good Intent

We all now her from her magnificient contribution to "Somebody that I used to know", together with Gotye, but now Kimbra has her own single as well. It is from her debut album Vows that came out this year. It didn't surprise me that she is from New Zealand and now lives in Melbourne, Australia. As a lot of the musical goodness comes from Australia this year.. Doesn't it.. ;-)

This song is really good. It has a nice jazzy feel, it is groovy, it is exciting and the way that this women uses her voice... Wow.. I AM IMPRESSED. It has been described as a perfect song for a crime movie, and I think it would even better fit to a a James Bond film. I just can not wait to start listening to the rest of the album. Brilliant.

Day 54: Drapht - Rapunzul

And goodness from Australia again. An awesome track from hip hop singer Drapht, who has been making music since the age of 13. His first single was released in 2003 and now, 8 years later he is releasing his fourth studio album called "The life of Riley". This is the first single, which reached the Australian charts already in 2010, but it didn't reached the European continent (or at least me ;-) until now..

This song would fall in the category.. "Driving through a busy city on a sunny day in your cabrio with your sunglasses on and looking at the beautiful people around while bouncing on your seat"..

Enjoy..

Day 53: Ximena Sarinana- Different

From a singer-songwriter from Mexico, which makes music that can be compared with music from Katy Perry and Lily Allen, I present you Different. A song from her new (2nd) album that just came out.

Today a good tune to forget about the crappy weather outside.. The summery tune makes you forget about the rain and the joyfull whistle just stays in your head. A nice, happy song

Day 52: Sbtrkt - Pharaohs (feat Roses Gabor)

On a rainy Tuesday evening you need a relaxing song that takes you away. From the album titled Sbtrkt from Sbtrkt, a music producer from London:

"SBTRKT is an alias used to support the concept of anonymity. SBTRKT has explained that he'd "rather not talk about myself as a person, and let the music speak for itself. The name SBTRKT is me taking myself away from that whole process."

And this song, how would we call it electro funk, dance-able-lectro ? I would say great track, great video, great singer (as Roses Gabor certainly adds something to the track) and a great feeling. Great

Day 51: Hard Fi - Give It Up

Hard-Fi, an Indie Rock Band from the UK, formed in 2003, released their 3rd album on August 7 after being away for a couple of years. From this album you may have heard the single Good for Nothing, which is a cool song I think.

But from the album I picked something else. The song Give It Up. I just can't stop listening to this. It's special because of the whistle, it rocks (walking beat), the singer has a good voice and when you think that's everything there's bridge, and after that even a acoustic bridge. Wow !!

It just stays in your head. And although this is not the single, I think it is the best song of the album.. A perfect prospect when you know that you'll defintely spend some hours in your car the coming week and that you can listen to this one many times..
