Oh Land - Speak Out Now (DEN)

I had the pleasure of seeing Danish singer Oh Land in concert last fall, and let me tell you, she is just as enchanting live. She has this wistful, wood nymph quality and the ability to perform impressive vocal tricks. Speak Out Now will be used as the theme song for the new Danish TV drama Rita, which follows the life of a single mother and schoolteacher.

Alexandra Burke feat. Erick Morillo - Elephant (UK)

I must admit that I was a little taken aback when I learned of the the title to this Alexandra Burke return single. Like, how could you make that word work effectively in a pop song? As you'll see, it applies to the "elephant in the room" metaphor and how there's often an unspoken topic causing tension within relationships. After scoring several hits with her debut album Overcome, Ms. Burke is positioning herself to be quite the dancefloor diva with this new era.
