Hyped British singer Jamie Woon will be releasing his debut album Mirrorwriting on April 18th. We really like his voice delivery and his use of samplers and programming in his production. It's also really hot that he can just use a guitar to get his point across. Check out new single Lady Luck and also his take on the now contemporary classic Someone Like You by Adele. For debut single Night Air click here.
Nice start to the weekend! Check out this seamless Robin Skouteris mash-up of a whole bunch of tracks/videos by Lady GaGa, Madonna and David Guetta - mainly Born This Way, Express Yourself and When Love Takes Over - Born To Express Love. Enjoy!
We like this new song and the idea behind it a lot. Imogen Heap's brand new single Lifeline started it's life as #heapsong1, being a crowdsourcing project. 2 weeks ago Imogen asked fans to contribute audio ideas via SoundCloud to build a song around. The next day fans could upload lyric ideas on the microsite for the track, the most popular ones incorporated into the final lyrics. 3 days later a middle section of the track was made available and fans asked to contribute solos to be added. Fans have also had the chance to upload stills and video for a possible inclusion in the final video for Lifeline. Imogen says:
“There's so much going on in my life with touring, talks and tech that the choice to do this was both a temporal necessity coupled with my passion for collaborative, spontaneous and creative projects. I also love the idea that the seeds of the song begins with the fans making a full circle when it's experienced as a finished piece."
We love this idea of genuine Imogen Heap fans having this much input in the finished body of work. So cool! The material used will be credited and paid appropriately. Imogen will release new crowdsourced material every three months for the next 3 years until the album is completed. Visit the microsite here for a peek of what's around the corner.
Singer/songwriter Jay Brannan seems to be filled with angst and has built his whole career on it. We love his updates on various social media sites. Find and add him on Twitter here. Listen to his cover of iconic Joni Mitchell's California below. So great + it's one of our all time favourites by her! For Joni's 1970 live version click here.
