Here it goes…my most listened to artists and songs of the past week according to my Last FM chart.
Most Listened To Artists:
2. Dan Black
3. VV Brown
I listened to Regina Spektor a lot this past week. As I mentioned in my little review, her album is pretty damn amazing. From the songwriting, to the melodies and instrumentation – Far is just a solid record through and through. Dan Black’s album is also solid, although completely different. It’s up-tempo electro-pop and I’m hooked on two tracks in particular: “Symphonies” and “Alone.” VV Brown – love her. Enough said. Jordin Sparks – hmm…well the new album leaked. It’s coming out on Tuesday and I plan to pick it up for sure. It’s a solid pop album with lots of good hooks. Amy Winehouse…I saw some pictures of her online, showing her looking better than she has recently…and there was a glimmer of hope. Her first two albums are so nearly perfect…I really shouldn’t need an excuse to listen to them.
Most Listened To Songs:
1. Regina Spektor – Laughing With
2. Dan Black – Symphonies
3. Shakira – She Wolf
4. Regina Spektor – Blue Lips
5. Dan Black – Alone
Spektor’s single “Laughing With” is so good. It pulls at my heart, which isn’t necessarily something I want to show while at work. There was just something so mesmerizing about her voice…perhaps it’s her soft-spoken tone or perhaps it’s her slight accent…whatever it is I can’t get enough. “Symphonies” isn’t as good as “Hypntz” would have been but it’s pretty darn close. “She Wolf” has been growing on me since day one. I love the “Aaaoooo” in the chorus and the fierce electro-beat is insane. Can’t wait to hear some remixes for this track, although I don’t know if we even need any. “Blue Lips” is another Regina song that hit a chord. Then again, if you’ll look at my top 20 you’ll see that virtually every track from that album is on there.
