Sometimes I like to draw parallels between the music introduced here and fragments from movies, places or situations that really fit the feeling or vibe that I want to describe but can’t find the correct words to do so. That's the case here. Beatrice Eli ’s music evokes the power of the young girls of our generation, shouting out loud to the world their ideas and feelings, super exposed - in most situations, crudely. Listening to her recently released EP, It’s Over , brought to my mind the work of illustrator [...]

It's been a minute since we've heard from edgy Swedish singer/songwriter Beatrice Eli but she's back! Check out the recently released music video for "It's Over," title track from her debut EP, due March 24th (via Razzia/Family Tree Music/EMI). "It's Over" is a punchy, attitude-filled synth-pop stomper that further solidifies her place as one of my 'Ones to Watch.' Listen to the song on

Well, it's that time of the year again where everybody and they mamas drop a list of their favorite albums that came out this past year. I was actually pretty close to not putting together a... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com
Click image to download track Sounds like: Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Kills, The Ravonettes "Lykke Li - Unchained Melody (Righteous Brothers Cover)" What's so good? Oh, how my tenuous heartstrings are pulled by this beautiful, stripped down cover! Lykke Li, who sultrily snarled her way through a pack of sex-laden tracks on her most recent album Wounded Rhymes [...]
by teepoo Lovely long weekend in Canada. Summer-like weather. Enjoy these covers. Oh Land- Bloodbuzz Ohio (The National Cover) Lykke Li- Unchained Melody (The Righteous Brothers Cover) Think you got a great cover? We'd like to hear them!
Click image to download full album Song: The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio (Oh Land Cover) "The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio (Oh Land Cover)" What's so good? I didn't think I'd ever see a cover of The National's "Bloodbuzz Ohio," but I appear to have horrendously misjudged that one. Not only that, but Oh Land's rendition doesn't take the route of acoustic guitars (as so many covers do), but instead introduces full-fledged keyboard, xylophone and little electronic bleeps. I swear I [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Cults, Bat for Lashes, Sleigh Bells "Lykke Li - Jerome" What's so good? Perfectly suited to the dark shadows and grayscale contrasts of the video below, Lykke Li's acoustic session of "Jerome" (off Wounded Rhymes ) is heartbreakingly beautiful. Lykke Li, do you want to come cuddle with me and my cats? It sounds like you need a cup of hot chocolate and some chick flicks. In all [...]

For those that gyred and gimbled in the filthy Suffolk wabe last weekend, with tents still sodden and plimsoles on the point of unsalvageable wreckage, left writhing in their own filth at the foot of the washing machine, we've opted to wade (somewhat superficially) through our fast-fading recollections of one hell of a wet one, that one being Latitude . Had Moses frequented the Henham Park bash you get the impression that the scriptural downpours would have had him scrabbling for the summit of Mount Sinai in muck-strewn robes, and further negativity can be drawn from the particularly distressing [...]
Emma-Louise can make anyone’s knees weaken with her fluctuating voice; it's on powerful display between deeply sobering narratives and near-falsetto gasps, alternating with genius precision in accordance with her stirring arrangements. On her new four-song release, Full Hearts & Empty Rooms, the 19-year-old Aussie shows a surprising range of approaches in guiding her efforts to [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Bjork, Lissie, Florence and the Machine "Lykke Li - Until We Bleed Feat. Kleerup" What's so good? Her wounded rhymes make massive sounds. With her smooth, winding, physique, Lykke Li came on stage surrounded by the ocean of black cloth that cascaded down from the top of the stage at Webster Hall. The stage setting allowed this Swedish beauty to show exactly what she meant by this album: a strong woman [...]
Do you remember a time when the pop that came out of mainland Europe ranged between ABBA and 2Unlimited , with a wealth of forgetful, over-blown, synthetic rubbish appearing during the intervening years? Music aimed at the lowest common denominator followed the direction of Eurovision out of the continent. In the name of balance it wasn't all terrible and in recent years, particularly within Scandinavia, the highlights have done their best to evolve rapidly, now producing cutting edge music and stylish pop stars with a global potential. You can look at the success of Lykke Li [...]
The first three months of 2011 have been incredible. There is so much out there that I'm still getting into some bands who released music in January. In order to manage the onslaught of music, I'll be doing quarterly roundups breaking them up between a few posts to provide reminders of what has passed us by. This first post is just a taste of what is to come next week where I'll be stuffing your faces with some of the best music I've heard over the past three months. One of the [...]

Danish electro-pop act Oh Land (by name, Nanna Øland Fabricius) relocated to Brooklyn from the Netherlands in early 2010 with hopes of taking the music world by storm. A former ballerina, Nanna was picked up by Sony's Epic Records and released her first EP in September . Oh Land is a one-lady show [...]
