His freestyling abilities is a breath of fresh air compared with the rapper of the past. Earlier in his career, Wayne did not rap about his childhood experiences, unlike a lot of time rapper. Instead, he focused on clean rhythms and rhymes in the name of his mother.

But recently, the album, “Like Father Like Son” has outsold all previous sales records and has the clubs jamming from coast to coast. Songs partnership between Wayne and his mentor Birdman titled “Stuntin Like My Daddy” has turned this album into gold hip hop.

Pat Spurgeon and the death of former bassist Evan Farrell.) Rogue Wave has always been a pop band, which is why it’s odd that this turn of events ends up feeling like a risky move. There isn’t as much room for subtlety in Permalight’s quest for the ultimate hook, which means fans need to prepare themselves for electro-pop, songs that sound indebted to “Hey Ya!” and Blur, and lyrics like “Turn the light / on tonight / permalight / say goodnight.” The new formula will undoubtedly freak out some folks not used to shaking it like a Polaroid picture, but those willing to give the whole package a chance will be rewarded with a robust disc that deftly balances mindless fun with mindful focus.

With each release Groove Armada morphs a little bit more and Black Light is a testament to that.  Quite possibly the only recognizable aspect of the album is the driving electro base we have come to love from modern GA releases.  Having said that, the album is a far cry from anything they have given us before.  What you can expect is a serious dose of 80’s fueled electro-pop.

Black Light gives you eleven new GA tracks that bleed the lines of what is electro, indie, and dance.  It will take you a few listens to get into it if you aren’t the biggest electro fan.  Each track has plenty synths and vocals that will pull you through and lead you into the next.  You’ll hit “I Won’t Kneel” featuring Saint Saviour or “Fall Silent” and you will question just exactly what decade you are in.  Yes, it is like that.  It is an album that leads you up through the years and by the time you hit the first release, “Paper Romance,” you’ll know you have come full circle.  Black Light is a straight one-way electro ticket and you are riding courtesy of the Groove Armada.

What you won’t find on the album, which is unfortunate, is a GA only track.  Everyone of the eleven songs has the tinge of someone else.  Saint Saviour and Nick Littlemore make four good appearances while names like Bryan Ferry, Will Young, Jess Larrabee, and Fenech Soler cover the rest.  That is the only downside if there could be one.  It is a vocal-filled album with serious messages and, at points, quite emotional.

Black Light, while being a very well produced album, is one that you can’t trust.  Or shall I say you can’t trust a review.  If you are a serious Groove Armada fan you will love it or hate it, I doubt there will be an in between.  If you are just a music lover who is really digging the way electro and indie sounds have come into their own in the last few years than this is definitely for you. ]]> http://www.songseek.net/2010/03/black-light-by-groove-armada/feed/ 0 http://www.songseek.net/2010/03/the-bells-by-nils-frahm/ http://www.songseek.net/2010/03/the-bells-by-nils-frahm/#comments Thu, 04 Mar 2010 08:38:19 +0000 bio http://www.songseek.net/?p=388

To take nothing away from its chief architect, a large part of The Bell’s beguiling power undoubtedly comes from the environment in which it was recorded and the instructive presence of its almost silent partner.

The Bells was originally issued as part of wunderkind Peter Broderick’s Kning Disk’s Piano Series and it is Broderick’s involvement here that forms the project’s catalyst. By proffering oblique instructions during its recording, such as “make a song that you could imagine me rapping over” and even suggesting, from a prone position laying inside the piano, that Frahm should improvise around the title Peter is Dead in the Piano, Broderick was able to provide the prodigious young pianist with focus and inspiration.

The resultant pieces feel so alive that you can almost sense the pressure of Frahm’s fingers alighting on each key as these solemn improvisations begin to weave their magic. Their unrefined organic energy and resonance is undoubtedly due to the natural reverb of the old church in Berlin where this set was recorded, one cold night in November 2008.

For the most part, these are delicate hymnals that act as balms for the mind, fittingly, quasi-ecclesiastical in nature. But, occasionally, Frahm elects for more tumultuous tributaries as on The Bells’ penultimate track, It Was Really, Really Grey. Here the echoing chambers of the old church – its aisles, apse and chancel – throw the notes around until the music begins to approximate the continuous music of Ukrainian pianist Lubomyr Melnyk.

However, all this is to ignore Frahm’s innate gift and creative approach, which differs from most of his contemporaries – Max Richter, Goldmund and Sylvain Chauveau – in its reliance on instinct, allowing his evident poise, touch and imagination (check out the mournful Over There, It’s Raining) to awaken these sorrowful passages from their slumber.

If there’s any justice The Bells, along with his recently released Wintermusik set, will expose Frahm to a wider audience, a demographic with a seemingly insatiable appetite for more prime neo-classicism.

Taylor Swift comes across as an artist inspired by happenings around her, which she beautifully captures through her lyrics. She has gone on record admitting that her single “Forever & Always” was inspired by her real life relationship with singer Joe Jonas, while the song “Hey Stephen” was written about a guy who opened some shows for her. Her Song writing skills have come for praise from quarters ranging from critics to her peers. She was awarded the Nashville Songwriters Association International’s Songwriter/Artist of the Year Award.

Some memorable songs from her collection include “Teardrops on My Guitar”, “Picture to Burn” and      “ Love Story”, which has more or less become her signature song. To say she is a talented musician is stating the obvious. It was not long ago in 2009 that Taylor was on a tour playing sold out concerts throughout the United Sates. She is at it again and promises an even better entertainment for fans through her much awaited “Fearless” tour.
