Twigs – How’s That [Music Video]

Posted by Ming Wu on May 8, 2013 No comments

Usually I listen to Zane Lowe’s show on BBC Radio 1 on and off.
But when I heard this song that he played on Monday.
I had to play it on Tuesday night since I was guest filling in for Mixtape Sessions on CHUO FM (Click the “On Demand”).
When I heard this song by Twigs, I was so mesmerized with it’s electronica, trip-hop and somewhat dubstep music with it’s haunting vocals.
It a cross between James Blake, The xx with the vocals similar to Claire Maguire (Ain’t Nobody) & Portishead.
Here is a blurb:
Intriguing R&Bass/pop outta leftfield – a female answer to James Blake, or a darker Grimes for grown-ups.
All I know is that they are signed to Young Turks.
Going to say it!
One of the best songs I heard in 2013!!
Have a listen to How’s That

Here is their trippy music video.

Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding – I Need Your Love [Music Video]

Posted by Ming Wu on April 17, 2013 No comments

I know it’s a few days old but I just have to post this music video!
Finally the music video for I Need Your Love dropped.
In my opinion it is the standout track on Calvin Harris’s 18 Months and Ellie Goulding‘s deluxe version/bonus track on Halcyon.
While I am glad they finally made the music video for it.
Despite seeing alot of PDA from Ellie and Calvin.
It’s your typical glossy summer beach dance party.
Still a great song to dance to!
But anyways here is the video.

If you want to win the CD, simply comment on the bottom with your name and E-mail.

This is out of the norm for this being review on the site.
Considering I got the CD for free (Giving it away) and a sucker/have a guilty pleasure for British pop music.
So why not and see what kind or reaction I will get with this.
Reviewing the US version of Sticks and Stone by Cher Lloyd.
For those who don’t know, she was a finalist in the UK version of X-Factor.
Originally the album came out in the UK last year.
You must have heard the song Want U Back on the radio with incessant grunts by Cher herself.
