Recent obsessions (part2)

I think i missed some of my other new fav's the other day..so here they are..

-Koop- a swedish band that caught my attention because of just one song. Litrally, thats the only song of theirs iv heard.. 'Koop Island Blues feat. Ane Brun'..
when you first hear the song you think ohh this is jazz, and then you read the groups bio on google and find out its actually in the electronic category..weird! but great song!!
-Song to DL: Koop Island Blues

-La roux- This duo have fast become one of my favorites..its like theyr reviving the 80's but with a whole new sound ..brilliant vocals, a pitch that cannot be reached by most and strangely moving robo-electro-pop..the only area which they do seem to be a little lacking is the lyrics dept. (but then again i have high standards-and i do contradict myself here a little because i sang 'im going in for the kill..im doing it for a thril'..for the longest time, facebook status and all) :P
-Songs to DL: In for the Kill; Bulletproof

-Paloma Faith- not this is energetic soulful jazz at its best..her jazzy vocals take over her songs, giving them more power and you mroe goosebumps..Dont know much about her..havnt heard her commercially either-which is great, i usually end up liking them more when theyr less commercial- but shes great! take a listen..
-Song to DL: NewYork; Stone Cold Sober

-Feist [again another old artist that i recently rediscovered]- i never thought id say this..but i like this canadian(mostly because im racist towards canadians-no im just kidding haha my friend recently moved to canada, and its been on my 'make-fun-of-list' ever since) So great new album, very romantic dinner party music.(im referring to their previous album Let it Die) More specifically im in love with one of her songs, 'Mushaboom', that was in the soundtrack to '500 Days of Summer'. i may have to start an entirely new post to talk about the love for this song :P
-Song to DL: Mushaboom

-Adele Adkins- yea shes not brand new, but shes relatively new..and shes got MAD vocals!!
powerful vocals, a soulful voice that tells great stories through her lyrics..loves it! Did i emntion she has a brit accent? tee hee
-Songs to DL: Cold shoulder; Hometown Glory; Chasing pavements

-Sara Bareilles- i fell in love with her lyrics about a year ago..saw a few of her concerts on youtube, read her blog, followed her on twitter..and then realized i think i have a crush on her(im straight) like a girl crush, ebcause shes ME! i swear..shes soo me its ridiculous! and nobody besides me would understand what im talking about..her lyrics spoke to me, like revelations from up above..i believe every word of it, because it just falls into palce and makes complete sense to me..
She and Jason Mraz kept me amused through most of 2009..
-Songs to DL: Love song; Bottle it up; Gravity; Love on the Rocks;Undertow; One sweet love
