Amy’s 2012-2013 Music Highlights
29. Studio Apartment – Nihon no Uta (にほんのうた)
Studio Apartment’s Nihon no Uta still has its problems, but remains a solid varied album. Plus, Miss Universe (ミス ユニバース) [MV] is still a sick track.
Haven’t found the album for download, but you can try iTunes Japan.
28. Alice Smith – She
27. Laure Shang (尚雯婕) – Ode to the Doom/Before the Doom
I haven’t really kept up with Laure’s releases since our interview with Ode to the Doom; most of her music is gone from Xiami, and it’s just really hard to get. I know she’s released a couple of songs and a compilation of sorts, but her career is -overall- really confusing with all the French, English, Mandarin, Cantonese versions and remixes of the same songs.
Having said that, Ode to the Doom (which later fused into a two-disc album with the tracks in Before the Doom) had some interesting highlights. If you bother to look for it, and find single songs, you’ll maybe run into some that sound the same to you in different languages, it is likely they’re the same but in one of the above mentioned languages. Her Mandarin songs and French are better than the English ones, in my opinion.
You can try keeping an eye on Xiami, if it ever becomes available there again.
i just found Your blog because Your name was attached to Tété’s. You are my new connection to finding great music. i was checking to see who else likes Tété. my wife may go on tour with him in the fall of 2015 when he will releases his new album. i wanted to find someone who could review her music. Your music selections were so good i got distracted and started exploring all the artist You like. It may break my bank.
Hi, Jonathan! Thanks for the message, and yes- music (and movies) generally break my bank account xD Tete’s music is amazing, if you guys get inspired with his style and passion for music, I would love checking out your EP :)
