Philharmonics by Agnes Obel

Agnes Caroline Thaarup Obel is a Danish singer, songwriter and musician. Agnes began playing piano as a child, thus discovering songwriting. In her late teens she founded the Copenhagen based band, Sohio, together with the Danish musician and producer Elton Theander. The two worked together for several years. Agnes is known for her “do-it-yourself” attitude to music making. She writes, plays, sings, record and produce her material on her own. Anges Obel’s debut single “Just So” was written and recorded in her bedroom. Her debut album ‘Philharmonics’ was released last month. (source last.fm)

Philharmonics is a delicate, slow paced and tranquil  album that create a soothing listening experience; capturing the souls of the listeners. Captivated by her mellow and subtle voice with amazing piano tunes that lead the entire album. Her music is a bit cinematic and occasionally with mournful lyrics. Yet, fret not, it is not depressing at all. In fact, it is strangely beautiful. I guess “pensive” is the word to describe this album.

Some Kind Of Trouble by James Blunt

After the success of You’re Beautiful in Back to Bedlam, Blunt has become a household name and a singer that almost hunger for your tears as most of this songs were quite depressives and emotional. So, he came back for more in 2007, with All the lost soul, an album that was quite a disappointment because it was nothing near his debut album. It seems more likely that  he lost his voice than his soul. Now, he is back again hoping to give us the confident in his music by giving us Some Kind Of Trouble.

Launched in 8th of November, Some Kind Of Trouble is without doubt way better than his sophomore album. It seems like he finally found his lost soul at last. This time the music is more focus and in a single direction. The album is peppier and this clearly can be heard in the album lead single, “Stay the Night” quite a catchy pop song that definitely suits the taste of the mainstream. A numbers tracks in the album like Dangerous, Best Laid Plan, So Far Gone, Superstar and Calling Out Your Name are quite catchy and for sure would proved to be a great listening experience. For those who prefer to have the old James Blunt that sang those songs in Back to Bedlam, don’t worries, “If Time Is All I Have” should just do the trick. It is everything you need in order to cry your lung out.

Immersion by Pendulum

 

Pendulum is an Australian electronic rock/drum & bass band founded in 2002 in Perth by Rob Swire, Gareth McGrillen and Paul Harding. Pendulum’s sound is typically heavy beats accompanied by low, buzzing bass lines, overlaid with synthesized leads. Immersion is the third studio album from the electronic rock/drum & bass band Pendulum. This album is pretty dope!
