Lykke Li - Sadness Is A Blessing


I'm not even gonna try and pretend like I have a firm grasp on what's going on in the video for Li's new video for Sadness Is A Blessing, the 3rd single from her sophomore album Wounded Rhymes. She's in a restaurant with some bizarre looking folks and she performs wistful movements throughout the room. It's enigmatic and that's been part of Lykke's Li's appeal for many including myself.

Florrie - Begging Me (UK)


On the morning of the royal wedding it would only be appropriate to feature a British artist, and she's a real doozey! Florrie has been bubbling at the surface of big things ever since she started doing drumming and doing background vocals at the famed Xenomania production house. She's come out with some buzz tracks for free download and it's already time for her second EP (get on with an album already!). Begging Me is a catchy, electropop dream that instantly had me bopping and bouncing around my bedroom. It's sweet, it's fun, it's pretty damn awesome.

Kimbra - Cameo Lover (NZ)


I've been waiting for this video from Australian based Kiwi singer, Kimbra, for many moons now. Her debut single Settle Down was out last summer and Kimbra is alleged to be putting the final touches on her debut album (tentatively titled, Vows). Her soul and jazz influences are evident in the track for Cameo Lover with a suffiecient dose of pop. The video is bursting with color and quirkiness. Check it out!

Example - Change The Way You Kiss Me (UK)


Just six months after releasing the final single from his highly successful album Won't Go Quietly, Elliot "Example" Gleave is back at it with the first song from his upcoming new LP. Change The Way You Kiss Me is an uptempo, hypnotic track that will inspire many nights of raving under flashing strobe lights.
