. Apesar de ter uma letra que aborda as dificuldades de lidar com os sentimentos, “Hustler” não é nem um pouco difícil de ouvir, devido ao som minimalista que ganha proporções épicas e à voz suave de Josef Salvat , que parece uma versão masculina da Lana Del Rey e lembra o tom de James Blake , Gotye e Phoria . O responsável pelo vídeo é Oliver Kember, que conseguiu evitar que imagens díspares como dominós caindo e corpos se tocando virasse uma bagunça. Os efeitos caleidoscópicos e o [...]

Una reciente polémica envolvió al megahit “Somebody That I Used to Know” , del australiano Gotye. El cantante decidió usar “Seville” , del brasilero Luiz Bonfá, en su canción. El problema pasó por no dar el crédito –y por ende, los dividendos- al músico (en este caso, al estar fallecido las ganancias irían a parar a sus herederos). Después del clásico baile judicial, Gotye, que nunca negó los orígenes de la canción, debió pagar lo correspondiente . Esto es un comportamiento habitual en la industria de la música, pero para nosotros [...]

When a movie is targeting a niche audience, it's important that the soundtrack reflects the tastes and interests of said group. When a soundtrack is filled with directionless angst and mopeyness, it's generally targeting young white kids. So put on your wistful hat (a beret, maybe?), it's time for the top ten. ( Note: the author is a self-proclaimed white 24 year old with a pretty limited worldview. Forgive him.) 1. The Graduate The Graduate is the original soundtrack for white 20-somethings: [...]

Si è conclusa da poche ore la cerimonia dei Billboard Music Awards 2013 , i premi istituiti da Billboard in base sia alle vendite discografiche e digitali dello scorso anno, sia in base alle condivisioni di canzoni e artisti sui socialnetwork. Le premiazioni sono state trasmesse in diretta da Las Vegas e presentate da Tracey Morgan. Trionfatori assoluti Taylor Swift , Gotye e Rihanna , che hanno dominato nelle categorie principali. La coutrysinger fidanzatina d'america si è portata a casa ben otto premi su [...]

The Belle Game are a Vancouver based quintet who, with their debut full length release Ritual Tradition Habit, have been generating lots of positive buzz. Having previously released two separate EP’s over the past couple of years and with some pretty extensive touring opening up for the likes of Gotye and Hey Ocean!, it would seem fitting that the ‘dark chamber pop’ collective come out with a full, dignified release with all these steam behind them. To start, Ritual Tradition Habit is a very captivating, wondrous, shadow-filled orchestral romp that is bound to impress. [...]
A canção "Somebody that i used to know" foi o sucesso absoluto de 2011 e manteve-se no ano seguinte, catapultando Gotye e o seu Making Mirrors para o airplay e estrelato international de forma persistente até à agonia. Com quase 12 milhões de cópias vendidas em 2012 e nº1 nos tops de quase 25 país, a que se juntam os royalties derivados da exibição em rádios e outros meios de comunicação, os lucros foram astronómicos. Mas o pior ainda estava para vir. Basta escutarem esta música para perceberem porquê. [...]
Pitchfork gave Vampire Weekend's new album Modern Vampires of the City a 9.3, its highest rating of the year so far. Small Black's Limits of Desire , Dungeonesse's self-titled album , The Dillinger Escape Plan's One of Us Is the Killer , The Handsome Family's Wilderness , and Sam Amidon's Bright Sunny South are all albums I have heard and can recommend. The most intriguing album of the week, [...]

The sweeping grandeur of the original Imagine Dragons hit was just waiting for a dance remix suitable for clubs around the world, and now we have one. "Radioactive" has been spending a significant amount of time in the iTunes Top Ten and is currently at number five, so it's no surprise that it's been picked up and remixed by the likes of dBerrie , whose previous remixes of hits like Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" and Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" have been getting heavy radio play. This "Radioactive" remix manages to hold on to [...]

Dopo le numerose anticipazioni, gli sneak peek , è stata pubblicata oggi la video première di Young and beautiful di Lana del Rey, che trascina la strepitosa colonna sonora de Il Grande Gatsby di cui noi di Soundsblog ci siamo occupati ripetutamente nei mesi scorsi: d'altronde la presenza di Beyoncé con Andre 3000 , Emeli Sandé, Fergie , Jay-Z, Jack White, Gotye, Florence+The Machine e la Bryan Ferry Orchestra non poteva che sottolineare l'eccezionalità della soundtrack del film, quasi più attesa della [...]

Giving a different meaning to gold and platinum albums, the soundtrack to the upcoming The Great Gatsby movie is set to be pressed on precious metal. It had already been revealed that Jack White's Third Man Records will issue the vinyl release for the OST on 11 June. Before then however, a limited edition offering has been unveiled - with the score coming out on "blindingly reflective metalized discs" tomorrow (Friday 10 May). $250 will get you the pair of gold and platinum vinyl "housed in a entirely unique laser-cut wooden LP jacket [...]

We have a Romare remix of Findlay 's "Off & On" track taken from her recently released EP. Obviously given Romare - he's twisted it into his own, stripped the original bare, kept some flourishes of Findlay's vocal and set it amongst a rolling bass line.

El tema del rapero se llama 100$ Bill y en él se escucha la voz de Leonardo Di Caprio , protagonista de la película.

El álbum saldrá a la venta el próximo 7 de mayo en formato digital y como una edición deluxe con cuatro bonus [...]

One of the most anticipated soundtracks in the past few years has been The Great Gatsby . This May 7th the soundtrack will be be released a few days before the movie (May 10th). We featured a few leaks of the soundtrack these past few weeks (aka the standout singles), but that comes to an end today, the album is streaming via NPR for your listening pleasure. Word to the wise....skip will.i.am's 'Bang Bang,' if your ears can perceive sound. The tracklist and stream for 'The Great Gatsby' soundtrack via NPR are below. [...]

To date, The Great Gatsby 's Jay-Z executive-produced OST has given us many listens from glam principals delivering sumptuous/cinematic fare. Roll call: Originals from Florence + The Machine , Lana Del Rey , the xx , and an Amy Winehouse cover from accutely accented duo André 3000 & Beyoncé, which sounds like an xx song. Now you can hear the whole thing, with tracks from Jack White, Gotye, will.i.am, Fergie, Q-Tip, and senior in residence Bryan Ferry over at NPR . If you want it vinyl-style, White's Third Man Records will have [...]

Along with being one of the most anticipated films this year, the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's The Great Gatsby is just as anticipated. RH regular Hollywood Holt unknowingly produced the Andre 3stacks and Queen B's Amy Winehouse cover "Back To Black" that was featured in the film and trailer. With music heavy weights like Jay-z, Jack White, The XX, Gotye and many more it's not surprise people have been waiting for it. With the film releasing in theaters on May 10th, NPR is now streaming the album HERE . Check out some of what NPR [...]

El filme de Baz Luhrmann se estrenará en el verano. El soundtrack para The Great Gatsby se perfila como uno de los más interesantes para este 2013. Mucho se ha hablado sobre la música inspirada en la adaptación cinematográfica del clásico de la literatura estadounidense, sin embargo, una de las canciones que más llama la atención es "100$ Bill" de Jay-Z. En esta, el actor aparece junto al rapero en forma de samplers de diálogos de la película. Jay-Z y DiCaptrio comparten créditos [...]
What do Beyonce , One Direction, Kanye West, Ke$ha, Jay-Z, Bruno Mars, Usher, Tim McGraw, Pearl Jam, No Doubt and Gotye have in common? They're all richer than you! Also, they're all part of the new Global Citizen Tickets Initiative, a new project designed to incite social activism by offering people free concert tickets. Billboard reports that the campaign, created by the Global Poverty Project, allows ordinary people (just like you and me!) to take a "variety of social actions... to earn points they can use to win free tickets [...]

In case his recent dalliances as a movie producer or sports agent confused anyone, Jay-Z is, in fact, still a rapper (and not just to defend his choice of vacation destinations ). Case in point: his brand new track "100$ Bill" opens the soundtrack to The Great Gastby film in grandiose fashion. It's another autobiographical, hard rap narrative from Jay, which includes comparisons to Marvin Gaye and Albert Einstein. But the real highlight is a cameo from Leonardo DiCaprio - OK, so it's just a sample of the film, but when it [...]
