SWEETBACK

SWEETBACK

I'm in the mood to share some of my favourites this week.
Here is another favourite of mine "SWEETBACK". This gem is hard to find and if you can get your hands on this album, you are consider lucky. I got the original from a second-hand store many yrs back. If i am not mistaken, after a few yrs frm their debut album, they came out with another called Stage 2. It's hard to find either but you can always get it in Amazon.com.

I like to listen to this after rave party last time. It helps to really chill down. I still remember by the last song...i could see the morning light and my whole body was aching and ready to sleep. Ah..one of the song is damn mellow, it could just drag your emotion down. It's called 'Walk of Ju'. And i got it here for you to listen :)
Walk of Ju

Who are they?
Sweetback is three-quarters of the Sade band, without that lady: Andrew Hale (piano, keyboards, programming), Stuart Matthewman (guitars, saxophones, programming), and Paul Spencer Denman (bass). Full Bio > Read

MAXWELL - COMING BACK!!!!

This is one of my favourite singer, Maxwell.
If you like soul, R&B and dig some funk and sentimental mood songs, this is the one.
I was introduced to his first album, 'Urban Hang Suite' in 1999 and collected all his other 2 albums; Embrya and Lifetime when released. The last one was in 2001.

He will be making a comeback album ' Black Summer's Night' and rumoured to be released next month. Listen to the new track on his myspace : http://www.myspace.com/maxwell

CRANK THAT UP!!!!!

If you do not know who is Soulja Boy and what's the fuss all about, you better know it right now.
The song that is sweeping the US nation by storm is the highest selling digital song of all-time in history - CRANK THAT by Soulja Boy.

3 million ringtones sold and more than 28 million ppl watched their video on Youtube...and he is only 17 yrs old! The song is infectious and the dance he created is a craze in the States. I didn't hear any of the clubs in PJ playin this song. Did you? Perhaps maybe in KL.

MADONNA - MY PARADISE

Just downloaded this gem and would like to share with you.

This is Madonna - My Paradise Lounge Album, a collection of her past songs in lounge-remixed versions. Well, it's not her new compilation or i don't think it is available at music stores too. I guess this is an unofficial album compiled by some good soul. I really heart this compilation.
Some of the tunes are very psychedelic.

01. Madonna - Bittersweet ( Chopped Out Choprah Mix )
02. Madonna - Ray Of Light ( Ambient Edit )
03. Madonna - Has To Be
04. Madonna - Paradise ( Not For Me )
05. Madonna - Secret ( Dens54 Deep Remix )
06. Madonna - I Want You ( Dens54 Jb Densappella )
07. Madonna - Frozen ( Stereo Mcs Edit )
08. Madonna - To Have And Not To Hold
09. Madonna - Ill Remember ( Orbit Remix )
10. Madonna - Nothing Fails ( Slow Vocal Mix )

Feist - that's the name of this artist and her new album, The Reminder was released in May, 2007. I have this album sent to me but i didn't know it was good until i accidentally stumbled onto her music video on youtube. Only after that i realized her new album was sitting on my table for more than a week. A little folksy and pop that's how i describe it but overall, it is a good listen. I prefer her previous album, Let It Die as there are more catchy tunes and somehow it sounded a bit Abba to me or sometimes a bit Bjork.


I picked this song 1234 and you have to watch it. I watched this video over and over again and it is so seamlessly made or edited. How did they do it?


and you should watch this as well. Taken frm her old album, Let It Die, this song is called One Evening. Look at the dance steps. Isn't it cheesy? :) i like it!!!!

Tracey Thorn

I came across this video and i kinda like it. Thought i share it with all of you. I've nvr heard of her. Well, pardon me. But i guess she is not widely known to many here either. I downloaded (haha..okok...i know that's not legal) her album and ya, it's good.



The video reminds me of those good old days when we were in the 80s and used to have many house parties. And it was exactly the same where the guys would go up to the girls sitting and asked for a dance. And ya...when i was young, i do have parting lines too. Ooooo...so cina apek, huh. And my friends wud say, i still look cina apek now.... (*curse)
