Winter tune


Sia- Lady Croissant
I konw this album was released few years ago but I just knew Sia and her music recently. She has the most amazing voice that makes everyone else sound flat and colorless. This live version of her songs truly powerful and fabulous! With all of her songs like the classic, Destiny and Breathe Me, she sings beautifully, heartfelt and full of emotion and strength. I know I am going to check her other albums for sure.

Empire of the sun- Walking on a dream
It's not the new album, either. However, I have been constantly amazed at the depth of this album since picking it up last year. The production showcases the brilliants melodies perfectly. You'd be forgiven for thinking you were back in the Eighties, from Depeche Mode, Pet Shop boys, as well as Eighies-aping acts like La Roux, Little Boots and MGMT, to mention a few. Comprising just 10 tracks at a little over 43 minutes, it is shiny Electro Pop perfection.

Listening to this album, one feels as though "Walking on a dream".

Gorillaz- Plastic Beach
I was eagerly looking forward to the new Gorillaz album and its third and final studio album is an impressive feat on almost every front. This is a great progression to their last album and whilst the sound is familiar territory, it has moved on enough to keep things interesting. My favourite track easily has to be `Empire Ants'; this beautiful and peaceful song shows Plastic Beach at its most serene.
