ArtistoftheWeek:Seeker Lover Keeper6/27/11-7/4/11

Seeker Lover Keeper, amazing. There's nothing that I could say that no music lover from Australia who has a blog hasn't already covered about this band and this wonderful album. I love that the group is getting positive feedback and a lot of love from fans of Sarah Blasko, Holly Throsby and Sally Seltmann (Sally fan right here!)The only things that I've noticed that no one has talked about is, the negatives. I love the album, don't get me wrong it's just so many people have said things like,
1. I just can't see how these three could have collaborated and made such a good album. They seem so different.
No they don't. Sally, Sarah, and Holly are all content, quiet and shy singer/songwriters. The three collaborating is a perfect match. The only different thing about them is their, musical style and vocal range.
2. Seek her, Love ker, Keep her.
Guys, the name of the group is not a hidden message. It's just a name that Sally thought up for the group. Let it go, and stop making the group more sensitive than it already is.
3. Sara Blasko, Holly Thornsby, and Sally Seltman.
Now, I know you really don't love the group if you can't spell their names right and if you do or if you're just picking favorites by misspelling the artists you don't know/care for names then please don't spell any of their names. Give the girls some respect now.
Aside from those three things I love the fans and the group itself. The Australian Music Scene has proven itself once again with this new album from Seeker Lover Keeper.

Just in case you were wondering,
Sally Seltmann is the Seeker
Sarah Blasko is the Lover
& Holly Throsby is the Keeper

Sorry about that rant, just had to get that out (it's petty).
I can't describe the album to you, it's too amazing to put in words.
Listen to it for yourself here on their facebook page.

ArtistoftheWeek: Thao & Mirah 6/20/11-6/27/11

Thao & Mirah, are both wonderful singer/songwriters. Not once in my life I ever thought of the two making an album together.Usually when two singer/songwriters make albums together the album sounds like one overpowering the other. Not this one.These two are so in sync, with one another on songs and melodies it's almost uncanny. With Mirah's vocals and Thao's verbal beats, the two created a good harmony in the song, Little Cup.With their lead single, Eleven, it's a song that grows on you. (I know that people say that and 9 times out of 10 that's not true for a lot of music lovers but it is, trust me.) The catchy beats, and vocal attitudes from Mirah & Thao are amazing! Folks, is a very chill song on the album, one for a relaxing summer day on a porch sitting on a rocking chair.
Spaced Out Orbit, really reminds me of Mirah's style of music. How Dare You is like a call and response type of song, I love that they do that. I love call-respond songs. So amazing. This really shows their strength of working together. Hallelujah is one song you will want to have in your collection. It's calm melody and subtle reminders of religion is a great thing to have. Especially is your filled with doubts. Squareneck, is the title for the guitar used in the song, and the guitar really does make the whole song. Greatly done! I hope this is not the end of Thao & Mirah, but who knows what they plan to do in the future.

ArtistoftheWeek:Yuna6/13/11-6/20/11

If you were part of the AOTW Awards in January, you know here as the artist who shared her heart to the world through her video, Decorate. Now she is being featured as ArtistoftheWeek. This musician has been influenced by western music since she was a child. Listen to artists like, The Cranberries, Fiona Apple, Coldplay and Lykke Li, it only made sense that she should grow up to become a talented Indie Singer/Songwriter musician. She gained success in Malaysia with her song Dan Sebernarnya, and has earned recognition in America with her music video, Decorate. With her style and musical creativity she has gotten the privilege to get signed to Fader and has released an EP in America this year.

When you listen to her music it is very soothing, catchy, emotional, and also very confessional. If you like Lykke Li or just singer/songwriters in general, you'll love Yuna. Trust me.

ArtistoftheYear Update: Gemma Hayes May 2011

It's a privilege to have this album in my collection. Gemma Hayes has not stopped impressing me with her music and her songwriting. The whole album is perfect and the songs shows how much Hayes has grown in understanding life, love, and herself. The title gives you a true and real feel of what the album is. As Gemma has done, she "Let It Break", as do I. I'm so glad that Gemma released this album. Even though it's hard for me to listen to the album during the summer, I still love it, ever bit of it.

ArtistoftheWeek:Bess Rogers 6/6/11-6/13/11

If you don't know this artist, Bess Rogers, you should. Bess is a Singer/Songwriter, fueled with a couple of guitars, a ukelele and a strong voice. When you listen to her songs you may notice the professional experience she has with her lyrics. It's at the level of Nerina Pallot or Fefe Dobson style with some good guitar riffs and emotional vocals you have yourself and indie pop hit! A song that I'd like to recommend to you to check this girl out is, Come Home, Bulldozer, and Favorite Day. This artist has talent and swell songs fit for anyone's music collection.
