rollerross11 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I've kind of gone made and deleted everything on my iTunes due to hatred of my old stuff. So I've now gone and rebuilt my library and thanks to iTunes genius and my friend I have become a fan of John Mayer and Alice Gold :closedeyes:John Mayer- Edge of Desire is my favourite on BattleStudies. Alice Gold - End of the World and Cry Cry Cry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 American music will never have the sheer passion, wittiness, and freshness UK artists are adorned with. That said, there are a lot of over-hyped British artists at the moment.Case in point: Lady GaGa's new song, 'You & I' is okay. Only 'okay. Put a lovely British spin on it from Mark Taylor (of Quite A Lot Of Things fame) and it's amazing. Besides, now you can line-dance to it. THIS IS V IMPORTANT TO POP LOVERS. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6lkPvnienYLady GaGa loved it so much it is part of the 'You & I' iTunes bundle and a B-side for the physical release.

Deleted Users Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 American music will never have the sheer passion, wittiness, and freshness UK artists are adorned with.That's a pretty naive view that probably has more to the way the labels work than the artists. Most of the smaller 'passionate' artists spread through word of mouth. Once they spread to the UK from America, they are probably going to be pretty big. Meanwhile, the labels just pick the most accessible songs so of course you are going to hear those more.Animal Collective, Vampire Weekend, Best Coast, Death Cab for Cutie, Foster the People, Grizzly Bear, Warpaint and LCD Soundsystem are examples off the top of my head.

Will Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I never thought You & I would be a hit but it's a very good and it demonstrates off her powerhouse vocals, which only works in her favour. But...I love this new upbeat edit. I loved the video and I thought it was very creative that Laurianne choreographed a routine to....a balladI like the UK iTunes charts atm, not a lot of US artists on the top 10. I will threw a screwy if any of David Guetta's new songs get to number one and I can't wait till US start playing Someone Like You on the radio.Gaga, Beyonce and Adele are all performing on the MTV VMA's 2011 on Aug 28th, which I will be up till 1/2am watching...so excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_A Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Here's a few of my favourites at the moment: This one by Emeli Sande kinda reminds me of something Katy B would do... but I like it I also love Modestep-Sunlight, but didn't post the video as it's quite well... weird in the sense that it contains old people doing naughty things you wouldn't expect Liam T 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidders Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wH70oczxqOUThe audio video for Snow Patrol's new single, which I'm currently loving alongside 'Fire In The House', which was posted by Mark further up the page. I post the audio video because it suits the song better than the real video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Users Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Great bands at Reading Festival, too bad the crowd were complete idiots most of the time as expected.
