Here’s the debut single from Nicole Sabouné in a video created by Mats Udd. Great song with a Sisters of Mercy-dark ambience but with a sound that rather reminds of the end of the seventies/beginning of the eighties. Nicole makes a great performance here with low tones that haven’t been heard since the days of Amanda Lear and shows a strong expression and an impressive vocal registry.
Elias and the Wizzkids’ second album “Just Do It!” was released last year, but since I didn’t write about it then, I thought that it would appropriate to do it now. Especially since the starting track of the album “Waste of Time” totally hooked me up, a song that I think was among the absolute best pop songs last year, and it became even stronger with the brilliant nostalgic music video by Mats Udd.
Besides the the nice sense of melodies, the text theme and Elias Åkesson’s characteristic voice, I can’t say that the song is typical for the album. Instead you’re invited to a most varied journey where they get inspiration from pop from the sixties and the seventies, from disco, synth pop from the eighties, indie and much more, without digging too much in one place in any song. You can listen to this fine album on Spotify and you’ll find the band on their site.
EP’s Trailerpark was formed already in 1999 by Eric Palmqvist. With former members like Magnus Tingsek, Björn Yttling et. al, they have a history of some releases, but nothing during the last five years. Up until now, as they released the five-track EP “Black Heart” in the end of October.
And it is a comeback that definitely makes me wish for more. It’s music with country vibes, maybe in the direction of folk rock, which every now and then takes me to the domains of Neil Young and CSN&Y. Especially in the mellow, fateful-sounding title track “Black Heart”. In “Black Heart” they are also joined by Frida Öhrn and Christian Kjellvander on backing vocals.
You can find EP’s Trailerpark on their Myspace page and on their blog. If you have Spotify you can listen to the EP there. Here below you can listen to and download the song “Black Heart”.
The videon to “Black Heart” is directed by Mats Udd, who, I think, has a nice, special way of telling a story around a song. If you like the video I recommend you to take a look at Mats Udd’s Vimeo page.
