I got a shout about the forthcoming single from a girl called Filly, Instantly Out Of Control.
Wow. Listen to this one loud, folks. It’s brilliant.
And as a reviewer, I’m well warned - at the start of the song, Filly advises us not to try and compare her to anyone else:
You’ll think you’ve seen and heard this before, but
I’ll turn around and have you wantin’ more, so
Forget the definitions in your head coz it’s not like this
It’s not like that
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin has hinted that the band may split up within the next two years.
Chris says that he would like to retire from the band before he gets too old….and too fat!
“I’m 31 now and I don’t think bands should keep going past 33,” BANG Showbiz quotes him as saying.
“So we’re trying to pack in as much as possible. Up until the end of next year, we’ll just go for it in every sense. I don’t believe in time off.
Here’s a bunch of cool music-related blog posts I’ve come across recently.
Oasis are releasing the second single from their Dig Out Your Soul album - I’m Outta Time - on 1 December.
Throughout their career, Oasis have been criticised for sounding like a lot of other bands. If I’m Outta Time sounds like anyone else, it’s Urban Hymns-era The Verve.
This isn’t a criticism, merely an observation. It’s fully possible that this is one of the most beautiful songs Oasis have committed to tape.
Coldplay front man, Chris Martin has revealed that the band would love to play a big stadium show next summer and would be happy to open one of Take That’s shows on their Circus tour.
Posting on the band’s website, Chris wrote: “I would open for Take That. We were in the dressing room the other day and, for whatever reason, we started singing ‘Back For Good’.
“We sang the whole thing, word for word, with all the right chords on our piano, without having to learn it or anything. It was great.
Snow Patrol are swiftly following up on the success of Take Back The City with a new single, Crack The Shutters.
This will be the second single from their amazing new album, A Hundred Million Suns. I’ve been gradually becoming more fond of Snow Patrol recently, and Crack The Shutters kind of cements my admiration for the band. The song, as usual for this band, is a rich blanket of sound, unmistakeably Snow Patrol.
I’m listening to this guy Ben Lee at the moment.
He’s releasing a new album in February 2009 to be called “The Rebirth Of Venus”. You can catch a couple of the tunes from the album over on his MySpace page: What’s So Bad (About Feeling Good) and I Love Pop Music.
I like this stuff, it has a quirky vibe. It’s hard to put Lee’s music in a particular category, which is nice. Don’t even try to, just enjoy its upbeat and playful musicality.
The Sun is reporting that Christina Aguilera was shocked that her new single has charted at a paltry #14.
You may think that charting anywhere within the Top 40 is a decent result. But for an artist of her calibre and international reputation, anything less than top 10 is a poor showing. She has good cause to be worried.
If you follow the entertainment and celebrity news circuit, Christina’s boobs have been more prevalent than her music. For what seems like at least the last two years, Christina hasn’t really been known for her music.
Bruce Springsteen has announced that he’s releasing a new album in January.
The 12 track album is to be called “Working On A Dream”, and will be released on 27th January 2009 through Columbia. This is the follow-up to his 2007 album, Magic.
Working On A Dream was recorded with The E-Street Band and produced by long-time Springsteen collaborator, Brendan O’Brien.
The follow-up single to Kings Of Leon’s massive hit Sex On Fire will be Use Somebody.
There’s an interesting discussion about this single on Stereogum, with many people calling it a sellout and a disaster for the band.
It’s true, this is a huge stadium-rock style anthem, a complete contrast to the smouldering, intimate vibe on Sex On Fire. And only Caleb Followil’s distinctive yelp puts the Kings Of Leon signature on this single.
