Lianne La Havas – Is Your Love Big Enough?

 Pop soul diva Lianne La Havas is magical on Is Your Love Big Enough? from her 2012 long-player by the same name.  Lianne’s voice soars, it swoops, it vibrates in every direction.  This is rhythmical party music to keep your head bobbing and weaving and your feet moving.  Amazingly fun music! You can find more information on Lianne La Havas by visiting her web site, which includes all social and store links.

 On August 21 2012, after a long wait for fans, Finish pop duo Eva & Manu released their self-titled long-player in digital format (Spotify and i-Tunes) to European customers.  On August 23, the physical CD was made available through European online resource Record Shop X for all customers willing to pay the import fee (me for sure!).   For followers of this blog, you will recall Eva & Manu from previous posts in January 2012, and again in February 2012.

White Owl is from his 2011 long-player, Love & War & The Sea In Between, an 18 song masterpiece, reasonably priced in digital form from bandcamp.com.

YouTube still has the Simple Days audio track, which I’m including here.   Original Post: Much as I hate (no really, despise is a more accurate term) reality TV, here is a very deserving Australian who participated in “Australia’s Got Talent” reality show.  Did he win?  Don’t know and I don’t care.  I know that he participated because I can…

Civilian – Should This Noose Unloosen

     Original video no longer available. Here’s an audio-only version: The title track to Civilian’s 2012 long-player, Should This Noose Unloosen, is a plaintive, expressive bit of musical poetry. This four-piece band combines folk storytelling chops within an indie-pop framework in a way that works quite well.   You can find out more information on Civilian by visiting their website.  Check out this fine indie-pop band.  If you are in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area, try to catch the band live.        (Source: http://civiliansounds.com/ )
