I grew up rural. I recently had to admit that. I have no idea why it took me so long to admit it, but I did. The evidence was there all along – my town had no gas stations or stop lights, a whiff of fresh cow manure and straw made me think of ice cream (we went to the farm to get our ice cream…) and my school was a conglomerate of eight towns. I think it was because I lived “on the town square” that I could maintain the notion that I wasn’t [...]
Today's song is "You Don't Know" Milow . The Belgian singer just released his first Stateside EP Born In the Eighties . Milow made his U.S. television debut earlier this year on Last Call with Carson Daly . He has a folksy, beach-pop acoustic vibe that you're sure to dig. Listen below and for more information on Milow check out his official website , Facebook , and Twitter pages. The post Song of the Day: "You [...]
Calling Milow , aka Belgian songwriter Jonathan Vandenbroeck , the poster boy for the independent-minded D.I.Y. attitude is really just scratching the surface. With over 750,000 albums sold internationally over the past few years -- with his own label and publishing company -- and massive hits in Europe like the #1 "You Don't Know" and the wickedly witty cover of 50 Cent's " Ayo Technology", Milow has taken his charismatic live performance to countless continental festivals [...]

Three covers, none of the duvet variety First is a cover of a Bob Dylan song which is, oddly, more famous that the original. Especially when you consider that the person singing on the new version of the song isn't exactly talented. But what do I know? Listen to Rebecca Black's version and then the original by the one and only Bob Dylan (or God, as he's also known). Bob Dylan - Friday [ More Info ] [...]
Belgian singer/songwriter Milow comes to the US market with the deck stacked in his favor. Not too many artists have a trump card like his: Born in the Eighties ' lead track, "Ayo Technology", was a top ten single in a dozen European countries. Both Perez Hilton and Kanye West lauded the tune , an imaginative cover of a 50 Cent/Justin Timberlake/Timbaland collaboration. And the song's official video , cleverly combining the hypersexual with the grotesque, has over 65 million views on YouTube. Mind you, this was all in 2008, and Milow's clout has [...]

Rieccolo ancora, più in forma che mai: Jonathan Vandenbroeck, in arte Milow . Il cantautore fiammingo, lanciato dalla cover di "Ayo technology" due anni fa sembra essersi specializzati in motivetti da canticchiare senza pensieri. "North and south", il suo ultimo album, che è andato abbastanza bene a livello continentale (disco d'oro in Germania, nella top 5 in Belgio, Germania, Olanda, Svizzera) ne è pieno. Avevamo parlato di " You and me in my pocket" , che ha preso parte anche alla prima parte del nostro contest, adesso ecco "Little in the [...]
Milow takes inspiration from North American artists such as Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne.
Ritorna anche quest'anno "Vota il tormentone " il mega sondaggio in cui voi e soltanto voi siete chiamati a scegliere la canzone pop dell'estate 2011, il vero tormentone europeo per questi mesi caldi. L'anno scorso, al termine di tre mesi, avete scelto "Fight for this love" di Cheryl Cole , quest'anno il concorso riparte con 35 canzoni in lizza. Per tormentone "pop" si intendono tutte quelle canzoni, appunto del genere pop o elettropop o pop rock caratterizzate da melodie e/o ritornelli particolarmente orecchiabili e da canticchiare, che hanno avuto buon riscontro nei rispettivi paesi e/o al [...]

Alright, so maybe I don’t really “love” the original version of “Ayo Technology” by 50 Cent featuring Timbaland and the ever so sextacular Justin Timberlake ; however, I do enjoy it when I go into what I like to call “Gangsta Mode”. When I go into “Gangsta Mode”, all I want to listen to is the most disgusting and vulgar rap I can find. Fortunately, “Ayo Technology” isn’t exactly something I would expect my mother, or M-Dawg, as I like to call her, to find pleasant. I will; however, make certain that she listens to [...]

Rieccolo nuovamente, in tutta la sua infinita dolcezza. Jonathan Vandebroeck , in arte Milow , torna a farsi sentire. Dopo il successo internazionale arrivato con il successo della cover di "Ayo technology ", della quale avevamo già parlato , adesso arrivano due singoli, a corredo del grande trionfo ottenuto dall'album " Milow ", con cui il cantautore belga ha vinto il disco di Platino in Germania, gli MTV Awards come miglior artista belga e olandese e due riconoscimenti agli European Borders Breakers Awards , i premi per i migliori artisti dell'Unione Europea (ne [...]

djchampion.net Canadian Musicfest is almost upon us and, while I'd intended to hold off on preview-y things till next week, some of this just won't keep. Actually, it probably would, but I needed something to post today and this needed to go out... so. I'll start, actually, with some giveaways. The typical way of doing CMF/CMW is via the wristband, which grants access to many of the clubs throughout the week, so long as it's not at capacity, and in recent years the whole "limited wristbands" policy - which had been [...]

A volte succede, la musica prende strani giri. L'abbiamo detto più volte. L' Europa ha fatto la conoscenza di Jonathan Vandenbroeck , in arte Milow , grazie ad una cover, più precisamente grazie alla delicatissima versiona acustica di " Ayo technology ", della quale avevamo parlato . Però questo ragazzo belga è da un pò che sta sulle scene. Tre album, parecchi singoli di non grandissimo successo. Fino al "botto" con questa cover. Che adesso lo sa riportando in auge. E così in Europa hanno cominciato a riscaricarsi " You [...]
