Sophie Milman, a Canada based Russia born Jazz Singer. Sophie first showed her interest in singing and Jazz during her childhood in Israel, where her family escaped to when she was very young. She moved once again to Canada when she was in her early teenage. She eventually became a profession Jazz singer in Toronto and lots of gigs there. Soon she was offered a record deal and have her first album at 2004 under her own name. Her voice is very refine and rich, rather classy kind of voice. I would describe her voice as a smooth wine that you could feel the warmth after consuming it. Personally I think she can sing better then Diana krall as Canadian Jazz singer and I am being quite passive on her future music career.
The song I am introducing today is "Rocket Love", one of my favorite song of all time. hope you would enjoy it.
I don't usually buy the actual album anymore since itunes is just so continence. However, this album, after I've listen to the song hard time, I decided this is a collectible item. Unfortunately, instead of 20usd, which I consider rather expensive for an album already, I actually spent $40 on it, because I left my first copy on the bus after I purchased it. I hope that if anyone who picked it on the bus seat he/she would really listen to it and fall in love with this music. I went to buy the same album again the next day. After listen the whole album I think its all worth it.
Patrick Wolf is a English 26 years old singer-song writer. His music is one of those hard-to-categorize music that inspired by a very broad variety of music genre, so I am not trying to categorize him here. But what I can tell you is most of his music are very sorrow and emontional yet very powerful (you really can tell he is the emotional kind from his hair style~LOL), especially in his vocal. The lyrics in his songs are usually very edgy but not pretentious. The song I am introducing today is the song that made me to buy the hard copy of this album, its called "Hard Times"
I always have a feeling that Sunday should be quiet and artistic.
I usually don't like talk about music is not only because I think I am not knowledgeable enough to talk about it but also I am a very outdated person in terms of meeting new music and very bad at keeping up the music trend. I always notice famous songs that after they got very popular for a long period of time.
I like most kind of music as long as its not too creepy (oh, I've listened to some weird voodoo witch music, its just terrifying!). I love Pop, Jazz, Hip hop, classical, Rnb, Trip hop, Techno, house, Dance...etc I am just not a big fun of metal stuff (but I love Dragon Force!).
But anyway, I still think it will be great to share the music that I like in this blog. I will try introducing one song and artist one at a time. They might be one that you are or ain’t familiar with. I would also like to explore different kinds of new music with you guys too. you guys are welcome to show me music that you like! send me songs by email and I will listen to it and talk about it here.
Lets swimming in the sea of music together!
Well, the first one, I decided to introduce the one I really like, I am sure most of the people are no stranger to his name, he is definitely one of the most talented singer out there, he name is Rufus Wainwright.
Rufus Wainwright is an openly gay singer-song writer, son of the singer-song writer Loudon Wainwright III and was born in New York then lived to Montreal, Canada for most of this childhood with his mother. His sister is Martha Wainwright, a singer-song writer as well. He started his music career in Canada then US. However, his music receives much better critics and review in European countries then in US, which I personally think its strongly due to his music style, which is heavily influenced by classical, opera, folk and new age music. The song “Going to a Town”, in this latest album “Release the stars”, expressed exactly how he is tired of America culture.
However, Instead of “Going to Town”, the song I want to introduce today is “Memphis Skyline”, in his fourth album want two, not only because the song itself is so heavenly beautiful and emotionally moving, but it also has a sorrowful story behind it. The song was written to pay tribute to Jeff Buckley, who Rufus envied with because of Jeff’s popularity when Rufus met him. However, later on he regretted it and felt sad about didn’t have a chance to sing with him before Jeff drowned himself into death in the Mississippi River near Memphis. Therefore he named the song “Memphis Skyline”.
