Is It Ok To Eat Honey With Beeswax In It?

VV Brown - Travelling Like the Light



VV Brown is English, is very pop, made easy melodies, and is a strange mixture of Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse.

course. VV Brown

But it may be a bit more than that.

The girl came out last July's debut "Travelling Like The Light" arrangements very "smooth" to confuse the first listen, but not enough to get 12 songs that sweat and the fresh talent.

The songs, despite the texts, which sometimes verges on the ridiculous almost, a soulful voice, rhythmic and can no longer "pop" slamming.

One wonders how she does it, but everything is really amazing feat. The melodies come in without leaving the head, the magic happens, we enter the universe and we would like to find out what is the girl live.

Only as a little weak on the album, we are regularly surprised to zap "I Love You," but instead to dwell on these excellent "Leave!" and "Everybody" that sparkle with simplicity. "Shark in the Water" surprises with its contrasting light verse and chorus darker while the two ballads pretty "Travelling Like The Like" and "Crazy Amazing" are pleasing to the ear. Obviously the single "Crying Blood" is the title most catchy rock album and form, with "Quick Fix" a direct appeal foot love the 60's.

VV did not take the head, not trying to be hype, merely making music but with talent. She now signed his first album in the form of cogent argument in favor of pop.

From marshmallow, but good.

Mario Salieri Movie In 2010

Vampire Weekend - Contra


The revelers Vampire Weekend we had indeed caught in 2008, showing us that "no" it was the Californian rock not only 10-note synth hammered loop, and a disastrous lives of attitude I largely unpolished at the limit of disposal, in short, there was no qu'MGMT in town.

And here they tumble again in early 2010 and rockers set the tone. Students who met on the benches of Columbia have matured, the group has applied these four boys and well groomed in the head send us a constellation of emotions. A dozen songs at once joyous and melancholy, from the completely blocked ("Cousins") to the minimalist masterpiece ("I Think You're A Contra") without missing masterpiece of short ( "Giving Up The Gun"). No title is weak, the lyrics are flies, rhythms borrowed from the continent Africans are still effective and Ezra Koenig never sang as well.

Contra title means "contrary" and perfectly sums up this album, at once decadent and precursor, sad and happy, sweet and dancing, in a word, superb.

A big thank you gentlemen Californians, and we thought that would accrue to the English first, there waiting for her anticipated answers may be to look to the Wombats?

The future will tell, until we never tire of Contra.
