Wendy, Lisa & Tina

Just bought Wendy & Lisa’s latest album after previewing most of their tracks on their site and was pleasantly surprised. I overheard them being played on Imran’s macbook and immediatley asked him who they were . Former Prince vocalists from the 80′s and 90′s i was completely blown away by this album subtle tones and soft melodies. I was told it was a departure from their old records and after listening to a few of their old ones which i thought were very ‘Prince Like’ but still very enjoyable in my opinion.

The tracks i like so far are Balloon, Invisible, You and I, and Sweet Suite (Beginning at the End).

I just have to mention the lyrics to the beginning of ‘You and I‘

Sun kills the moon,
the moon starts to cry
the rivers fight the oceans
the oceans rage at night
and you and I
running out of time…

Wendy & Lisa remind me of someone I’ve heard before and after listening to the album throughout the morning and afternoon I suddenly realised who and called up Tina Dico’s album ‘In The Red‘ another record that needs a review. It has very subtle tones and really soft comfotable music that you could just curl up to, possibly with a cup of a hot chooclate in hand on a cold winters day. A must listen if you like this type of music. I’d recommend Long Coodbye and Nobody’s Home from Tina’s ‘In The Red’ ablum

Take a listen and enjoy :)

[UPDATE]

Forgot to mention Tina Dico’s ‘Room With a View‘ what a song! [live]

I saw this guy in leeds he was awesome totally changed the vibe of the area and was so different from the other preformers on the street. I went to give him my thanx and we had a little chat and I bought his album it’s very good and he’s an amazing sax player… thanx Gavin Randle!

Passion

I was listening to Peter Gabriel’s track Passion (here’s a clip) off his album Passion featuring Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The album I must admit is really powerful stuff it blew me away. I think they featured this in the movie Passion of Christ (not sure). I would urge you to listen to the full track maybe with your eyes closed and just listen. It really moved me and I ended up crying like a baby and I don’t even know why.
