Sunday Girl - Where is my Mind


Don't be to concerned if you suddenly feel an overwhelming desire to book yourself a nice get away with Thomson Holidays, this is the background music from their latest advert and what a good choice they made.

Sunday Girl has done a beautiful job of covering the Pixies original version. Sunday Girl has hit a dramatically different note using a blend of harmonies and melody to create a wonderful ethereal element.

My only concern is that Sunday Girl will not receive the credit she deserves for this track as it gets to be more and more synonymous with the Thomson Holidays Brand.

I give this track a rating of 8/10

Maverick Sabre - I Need



I'm loving the new Maverick Saber track, its got a very chilled feel but its also slightly haunting in a way which makes the track oddly fascinating.
I think we can expect a lot more good things from this young song writer.

I give this song 8/10

Labrinth feat.Tinie Tempah - Earthquake


This is going to be a huge tune, not the best beat i have heard this year but pretty much guaranteed that if you heard this on a night out you would refill your glass and get you rave on.

As Far as the video goes not greatly original and looks a little like it was done an a budget so not that impressed.

I give this tune an honorable 6/10  

Adele Is Not Bitter Anymore




Not that any of us thought that Adele ever was, but she has admitted that being famous has cured her bitterness, which is good because listening to her album 21 there clearly was quite a lot floating around.

Adele stated in a recent interview that she has become much less stubborn and bitter as well as taking more time for her self after her last heavy duty touring session that almost cost her her voice.

All in all it has to be said i wonder how much less stubborn she would have become if it was not for her considerably higher bank balance. However she is an outstanding talent and if her being more relaxed means she makes better music then i am all for that.

In Memory of Steve Jobs


Steve Jobs was not just and extraordinary visionary. He revolutionised the way we listened and bought
music. I am sure Apple will continue to make amazing 
and innovative products however today they have lost 
a crucial link with their consumer. Steve Jobs will be 
sorely missed. 

We have dedicated our video feed today to the fantastic 
Mr Steve Jobs.

Bruno Mars - It Will Rain





I'm not the biggest fan of the Twilight series however you can't argue with the quality of the new soundtrack. Bruno Mars really cant touch anything without turning it to gold.

I give this track a 7/10

Ellie Goulding - Heartbeats (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge)


Ellie Goulding's BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge rendition of Jose Gonzalez's Heartbeats which of course was originally sung by The Knife. so what we have here is a cover of a cover, but a very good one. I give this song a 7/10.
Anyway i will let you decide for yourself.
Enjoy

I Need A Doctor or maybe just an Endorsement!!!!!

I am not sure if this is going to seem harsh as i actually like both these artists but i feel a better name for this video would have been I Need an Endorsement, i know that product placement is common in america but come off it, this is just getting stupid, do they really think that i am going to go out and buy a G-shock just because Eminem is wearing while he sing to a floating Dr Dre. No i'm not and why Ferrari have decided to place advertising in a rap video is beyond me. Who other that football player and other rap stars are buying Ferrari's in this current economic climate, saying that it was only the old 360 so maybe Ferrari think some of us lesser mortals have a free £60,000 we forgot about.


The real shame is that this is not a bad song and i understand the premise and all that Dre and Eminem have been through together however the video however artistic, looses all sense of emotion with its confusing notion that Eminem has to bring his friend back to life through his rapping and a team full of highly trained doctors that for some reason use mobile phone and computer tablets all made by HP (picture above) to help cure their patient. Watch the video bellow and feel free to comment below if you feel differently.

I give this a 3/10 as a video but 7/10 as a song.
