Artist - Sia


Ignoring the fact that I might have wrote some similar post in some other place, today I bring you a singer that (referring her individual work) rocketed from non existence to my top preferences. Besides having some fantastic work she became specially known due to her collaboration with Zero 7. Her unique voice is dazzling and in my opinion is quite difficult not to like it. For those that don’t know to whom I’m referring her name is Sia. In Zero 7 she sings themes lime “waiting in line” or “distractions”, but her own work is also quite stunning. She has released several albums as well as some singles that deserve everyone’s time. From those I have to refer “Colour The Small One” or “Some People Have Real Problems”. Even though I prefer the first one both are quite good and surely deserve a spin (or several).
So, trying to reach your curious side, I leave you with this recommendation which you can take a peak look (or listen) at several sites (like Deezer.com, as I referred earlier) near you. As an alternative you can also buy her albums but that’s up to you.

Artist - Zero 7


Well known for its downtempo music, Zero 7 is a English group first appeared in 1999. Most of you might probably associate to Zero 7 the voices of Sia Furler or Mozez, but those voices are not the core of the group. Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker are the ones responsible for making the group and the sound manipulation that we know.
Zero 7 has already some albums that everyone should listen such as "Simple Thins" (2001), "When It Fall" (2004) or "The Garden" (2006). A new work is in the forge and should see the light of day during 2009, hopefully in the beginning of the year.
Then again, a lot more could be said about them, but the best experience is always to listen for yourself.
Also if you like you can always check out their site.

Artist - Goldfrapp

Starting her career in the 1990's and launching her first solo album in 1999, Goldfrapp is an English singer that brings us trip-hop/electronic music. Aiding her music is Will Gregory (synthesizer).
Her work naturally evolves, in her album "Felt Mountain" (2000) the themes are more electronic, almost industrialized or mechanical with a stronger presence of the instruments and not so her voice. On the other hand, "Seventh Tree" (2008) the themes are more warm and calm, giving a homeliness sensation.
Other two albums were released, Black Cherry (2003) and Supernature (2006), but those still require further listening and will probably have a review in the future.
The video is of the theme "Clowns" from her album “Seventh Tree".
