Charli XCX

We went to see Ellie Goulding’s concert a couple of days ago, and for the first time her supporting artist wasn’t a total bore, on the contrary she was AWESOME, maybe more interesting and entertaining than Ellie herself (sorry Ellie). A guy’s name for an aggressive girl. Charli.X.C.X.

You have to know that my husband talked about this girl for months before the night of the concert, I saw a video, but I didn’t give too much attention. She was a little too rough (more in her looks than in her music to be fair), even for me. But on the stage she was just perfect. She jumped, she danced, she sang perfectly all her songs without loosing breath or energy. She was sexy, passionate and so happy to be there. That’s what we need to see in a concert.

I’m counting the seconds till some big fashion brand will arrive, sponsor her and clean her up Azealia’s style.

Down On Life

I’m more than obsessed with Elliphant‘s track and video “Down On Life”. The amazing landscapes, the beautiful magnetic girls, the hypnotic music (can’t stop robot dancing to it), the horses and the bombers worn with shorts, everything is really doing it for me.

And the video was shot in Iceland… can you guess where I’m going this July?

Oh Laura

Song of the year?
Laura by Bat For Lashes is the song that made me shiver all 2012 long. And together with her video, her beauty, her movements, it’s just perfection. We saw her in Milan a couple of months ago and it’s without any doubts one of the best live concerts I had the chance to attend this year.

5 top Nick Cave videos

To celebrate Nick Cave‘s new single and long awaited comeback, I thought it could be nice to dedicate him a 5 video post. Five is a number that does him no justice of course, with his long series of beautiful songs and beautiful albums it’s almost impossible to decide which one will be taking part of this round-up, so I decided to publish 5 not-so-famous videos, hoping that those who just know Mr Cave for his (amazing) duet and ballad with Kylie Minogue, will be inspired by his talent and maybe recover his whole discography. Enjoy.

 

The Mercy Seat – from Tender Prey (1988)

 

Red Right Hand – from Let Love In (1994)

Are You The One (That I’ve Been Waiting For) – The Boatman’s call (1997)

Fifteen Feet Of Pure White Snow – from No More Shall We Part (2001)

Breathless – from The Lyre of Orpheus (2004)

Taste the last girl

I know I keep on telling this, but I’d really love to go to another Sons and Daughters concert right now, or at least I’d very much appreciate a new a song or, why not?, I’d like to know if they’re still working together. I think their last concert was in November 2010, there’s still hope.

They were SO powerful and full of energy.

My Moon My Man

I adore Feist. She reminds me of androgynous, special women like Charlotte Gainsbourg, women who are just amazing, who can do anything better than the rest of us all. She’s not only a perfect singer, songwriter, she can also dance and oversee coreography, she’s ironic, but sexy without even trying, and most of all she’s super stylish.

Women like her makes me happy and proud to be a woman.
