Melodías miscelánea

With all this crap Xmas music dominating the airwaves at the moment, I think it's time for a selection of some of the "newer" choons that have caught my ear of late...

Let's start with a singer whose voice really made me sit up and take notice - Jacob Lusk of Gabriels!

From the sublime to...the return of - ahem - Tight Fit?!!

They've obviously been listening to Steps...

At last! Ollie's got the chance to "play the Princess" - it is panto season, after all...[Oh, yes it is!]

Here's a couple of our fave fierce Spanish divas who wouldn't look out of place in a Panto, either, with this range of outfits:

This next couple really need to "get a room"...

A song that's become a bit of an "anthem for the pandemic era", it actually began life as a conversation on Zoom:

Next up, a mindfuck. Once you've seen this slice of weirdness from BBC Sounds of 2022 nominees Wet Leg - Too Late Now, you can never "unsee" it.

Saving the best to last - this!

As always, dear reader - let me know your thoughts.

It's a new dawn, it's a new day

I'm off tonight to a tenth anniversary party for two dear friends Joe and Russ. To help me get into the swing of things, how about a clutch of "newer" choons that have caught my ear of late?

First up "the biggie"... This was only released on Friday morning, and has already clocked up 35 million views on YouTube!

By way of complete contrast, let's cheer ourselves up after all that impassioned angst - with a trip to a Disco that happens to be Purple:

Look out, world - Queen Madge is back!

Speaking of stroppy divas - one wonders how the divine former Eunice Kathleen Waymon might have greeted this ramped-up version of one of her biggest hits?

Heavens! I only mentioned them the other day - and now Gandalf and Gollum Tears for Fears are back, with their first new music for twenty years:

Ms Petras is in an apocalyptic mood, it seems...

...while the Nervo girls are feeling "arty":

And finally...

...what happens when Princesses collide?! This:

As ever, dear reader, let me know what you think...

Everything I’ve ever done, everything I ever do

Time, methinks, for a little trawl through some of the "newer" music that's caught my ear of late...

First up, something that's not actually new at all - it was actually released in 2018, but I only recently stumbled across it, so it's as good as. Never heard of the "hooker" before, but Gaby Amarantos is an old fave here at Dolores Delargo Towers. I love this!

By way of a complete contrast, here's a rather angry young lady - with a faboo choon, to boot:

Speaking of "old faves" - I just discovered this new one from Yelle, a band I first picked up on way back in 2009...

A brand new one from a brand new artist; how about a bit of "gay electro-go-go"? And why not?

Quite the regulars in this particular "pick of the pops" slot, Parralox have decided to take a trip on the Tubeway...

Saving the best for last, however...this is what happens when three world-conquering talents collide - one of the most fantabulosa collaborations in years (& years?)!

[Look out for the "supporting characters": one of the original Blitz Kids Princess Julia (who appeared in Visage's Fade to Grey video), Lavinia Co-op (a founder member of Bloolips drag troupe with Bette Bourne, and one of the subjects of Lexi's Riot Act trilogy) and performance artist Nando Messias...]

Wow. Just wow!

As ever, let me know your thoughts, dear reader.


PS As if little Olly weren't busy enough - guess who he's collaborating with next?!
