Again, it has been ages since I presented a selection of "newer" choons that have caught my ear of late. So, without further ado - here's a selection for your delectation. Typically for moi, inevitably the list is largely made up of familiar artists making comebacks and a rather interesting cover of a 90s banger...
First up (of course) is the new one [so soon?] from Our Princess Kylie! This is right up our street...
Begging the question "why remake a classic?"; nevertheless next up is a rather faboo effort from (surprisingly) telly's fashion makeover queen, some anonymous DJ from Swindon and a former vocalist with Basement Jaxx:
Speaking of the 90s "Decade of Dance", how about the welcome return of the creators of such eternal anthems as Insomnia and God Is a DJ, with quite an odd love song to (ahem) a keyboard..?
This one is quite remarkable - a track that features "The Queen of Fucking Everything" Madonna, but only in the background? It's obviously Miss Lipa's moment, but hell's bells - even Missy Elliott appears in the video! Where's Madge?
And, finally - the best track of the week is by a band that not too long ago were thought of as a bit of a "variety-show" throwback, dismissed by the kids as passé. Nowadays, they have the kudos of being gifted a track for their last album by none other than Benny and Bjorn, and this track is written by the cooler-than-cool Sia! I love it...
As always dear reader, let me know your thoughts....
Calm down, Kylie! I'm still listening to "Say Something".
ReplyDeleteOoh, hello again Lee from Steps!! (Love Faye's plaits and blue frock look, too!)
Lee has the least to do here, methinks...
DeleteFaye really is the most talented of all of them, of course - we saw her on stage way back in 2013 in a very camp musical indeed, and she was superb. Jx
Gok Wan eh? Whatever will he get up to next?! I like the Steps one best.
