Artist: danny

Wat kan het toch hard gaan met een bandje. Nog geen jaar geleden schreef ik hier over het in Dordrecht en omstreken bekende fenomeen The Death Letters en nu is het duo het lievelingetje van de landelijke media. Niet erg...

With all the hype surrounding it and the fact that M.I.A. is heavily featured on the soundtrack, I had to check the movie out from the same director that gave us Trainspotting, 28 Days Later and Millions . The movie is a slice of freshness from a perspective rarely voiced in mainstream cinema. This 15 million dollar budgeted flick follows Jamal Malik's entire young life while splicing How Wants To Be A Millionaire questions between events. The plot takes turns and twists as he becomes a young man of courage and [...]

(Please do not post this song link elsewhere.) A BIG thank you to every one who stuck around through my year end countdown. As a gift of gratitude, I'd like to offer up a brand new song straight out of the von der Burg studios. "Get It Out" is the debut single of the former Swedish Idol contestant who caught our ears with "Blackout" late last year (which isn't yet released). I quibbled with Alex last year when he asked why September-like songs were being given to artists other than September, [...]

On the radio like oh oh oh-oh-ohh As I've said before, I thought "Radio" was pretty underwhelming the first time I heard it--Danny on auto-pilot, as it were, when the debut single from a second album should be something pretty special. As I've also said, with time, my opinion of it only grew and grew. Dance-pop from the Danny school (technically, the Danny-singing-a-Michel-Zitron- and-2N-song school), my love for for Danny and the song was only increased by the video below... ...which not only [...]

Toen ik in december door de straten van Parijs liep, had ik bijna gezworen dat de nieuwe van Franz Ferdinand al was uitgelekt. De klanken die middels een muziekwinkel tot mijn oren kwamen waren echter niet afkomstig van het Schotse...

Danny - Unite This Heart "I'm so tired of being alone" With all the December countdown stuff I haven't had a chance yet to lay praise on Danny Saucedo's terrific second album. Although it was technically released during the dying days of 2008, it's the first great pop album of the new year. In fact, I'd argue that it's even better than his first. I struggled to pick a song to post today, since [...]

• Danny - Unite This Heart

Hmmm... we are getting more visitors lately, I am almost considering writing actual content for this blog... for the time being though, enjoy these somewhat rare Van She tracks... apoligies for the strangeness of the first few seconds of 'Filthy Licks' it's a bastard to rip. FYI: Cat & The Eye is being released in the UK as a single at the start of Febuary... an odd choice? Van She - Filthy Licks Van She - Danny Van She Myspace

TAITO is such a G! I love his shit and I can't believe none of it has made it to the blog yet. It kind of makes me feel like I'm not doing my job well enough. Anyways, his upcoming release "Better Place" caught my attention and its a jam! I have it here for you guys, but it has to be a rip. You can make sure when the track releases you can find it here at THREE ONE OH! *** C-Bool & TAITO feat. Ronnie S - Better Place (27 [...]

All right, Andreas Carlsson, you win. I'm not sure that you deserve the credit for an element that's a big part of making your track on Danny's new album, "Utopia," as fantastic as it is--the little string hook--but I love the track, so my whole "I can't remember the last track from Andreas I really loved" statement has to be tossed out the window (and to be fair, "Waking Up In Vegas" is apparently by you, too, and I liked that enough to post it). In case anyone else cares, here's the songwriting credits for Danny's latest [...]

Robpop (thank you, Bobby!) pointed out in the comments that Danny's "Set Your Body Free" was originally recorded by Avenue. As Bobby writes... They just did it on myspace. Then they lost the boy (who used to be in Pop!...aka Jamie), and they got signed by Island and went with a different sound..thus dropping Set Your Body Free. As you all know, this sort of stuff fascinates me. I haven't heard Avenue's version of the track, but it looks like the dance routine below (not from Avenue themselves but [...]

If you think Danny's getting anything other than the Darin treatment until his album comes out, you are wrong. The video below is of Danny signing copies of Set Your Body Free (if you order it from his official site, you get an autographed copy; tragically, that's not where I pre-ordered mine, so I will be getting no silver-penned heart), but for our purposes what matters is that it includes what sounds like clips of three new songs. I'm not sure what the first one is, but the next two have got to be "Unite This [...]

Swedish radio show Morgonpasset is having some of the artists who come to sing live perform Christmas songs and they've got the songs linked to on their site for you to listen to. If you like the idea of Darin singing "Oh Holy Night," Danny singing "The Christmas Song," Sibel singing "What Child Is This," or Amanda Jenssen and Erik Hassle singing original Christmas songs--all in acoustic, live, and usually abbreviated versions--go here . Also on the Swedish music front, I recommend checking out the Idol medley from the Idol finale on Dirrrty Pop [...]

I just got around to reading the description of Danny's new album on Ginza and was thrilled by one piece of information in it. We already knew that Andreas Carlsson wrote and produced "Utopia," that Danny wrote or co-wrote "Turn Off The Sound," and that "Radio" is the work of Michel Zitron (who's said to have done most of the tracks on the album; he's also the writer of "If Only You," among other things), but up until now I'd not known that The Attic--Eric Amarillo and Michael Feiner--also wrote a track on the album! Fantastic [...]

The tracklisting for Danny's Set Your Body Free is out. This--spelling and all--is from CDOn . 1.) Radio 2.) Kiss You All Over 3.) Emely 4.) Utopia 5.) All On You 6.) Unite This Heart 7.) Need To Know 8.) Set Your Body Free 9.) Running Away 10.) Schitzophrenia 11.) Turn Off The Sound 12.) Just Like That 13.) If Only You (Bonus Track) 14.) Tokyo (Bonus Track) Am I the only one who can't look at the title of track 2 without thinking about the Britney Spears song ? [...]

Oh, Danny, Danny, Danny... My love for the song has only grown and grown, though, and Set Your Body Free can't get here soon enough. Why can't any of our American Idol boys have this much success with music this good?

Wegens omstandigheden (een cadeautje) zat ik afgelopen voorjaar in het oude Luxor theater in Rotterdam. Nou is dat niet geheel een doodzonde, maar ik zat daar dus om een theateroptreden van Van Dik Hout te aanschouwen. En hoewel ik deze...

One of the best parts of my year is seeing a new Danny album cover. Let's be honest, topping this is always going to be near impossible. Still, the album cover for Set Your Body Free (still due out December 24) is just the Danny we've come to expect.

Er was eens, heel lang geleden, in een land hier heel ver vandaan, een hardrockband. De hardrockband, die luisterde naar de naam Guns n' Roses, werd geleid door een verschrikkelijke tiran, Koning Axl. In het begin van zijn regeerperiode was...

Back in late 2006 when Magnus Carlsson was promoting his second Christmas album, he took some promotional photos with armwarmers. I think most people hated them but I thought they were absolutely brilliant. Unsurprisingly, though, they've not seen the light of day since that campaign. You can imagine my delight, then, when I saw who's now taking up the task of bringing back armwarmers... ...more popstars should wear them. In news [...]
