..but Ryan Kelly of Yellowcard and Sean O'Donnell of Reeve Oliver have formed a new group called "Big If." It definitely has the influence of Yellowcard that fans will love! And there slower, more acoustic stuff is great for a Sunday lazy day. Take a listen to "Bunny & Me" and "Triple Please."
I am totally digging the chill vibe of this song... discovered on my City Lounge Vol. 3 album, here is Alias & Tarsier "Dr. C"
California-based Anticon producer Alias had never heard about New York-based Rona "Tarsier" Rapadas before he got a letter from her one day in 2003, shortly after the release of his instrumental-based album Muted, telling him how much she liked his work, if he would listen to her band (Brooklyn indie electronica outfit Healamonster & Tarsier), and if he would ever consider remixing Muted with her vocals. Alias was so impressed by her samples that he immediately sent Tarsier four beats, asking her to choose one and to add her own vocal track to it. Thus began a 21-month-long email relationship in which the two parties sent each other music, never meeting face-to-face until shortly before their debut album, Brookland/Oaklyn, and the EP compilation Plane That Draws a White Line were both released in 2006. ~ Marisa Brown, All Music Guide
Here is the German-born (to American parents), rapper Cage, from New York. I dig his style a lot- not harsh rap but a bit more spoken word and chilled vibe.
Once again, a hip hop artist is sampling an old pop song.... here's Flo Rida's latest single "Sugar," with Eiffle 65's "Blue." See Eiffle's original song below.
Here's Diane Warren's latest song written for Whitney Houston's upcoming album (to be released in September). What are your thoughts? I feel like her voice isn't as great as it used to be- the lyrics are great but her voice sounds a bit weak... I think she still has a long journey ahead of her before her voice will gain strength again. Crack is wack!
I honestly didn't think the Paradiso Girls had more than one song... here they are featured with Space Cowboy, in his song "Falling Down." I think it's somewhat catchy- with that electropop sound.
Thanks to a good friend of mine, this song has become one of my new obsessions-- along with the entire EP just released by Madcon. Here's "Beggin'" Gnarls Barkley has some competition!!
Due out in late August is the brilliant Imogen Heap's newest album, "Ellipse." Just released was her first single, "First Train Home." I cannot wait for her new album to release! Enjoy!
