In an effort to maintain some consistency, I've decided to bolster the music recommendation section of this blog, and will now hereforward include a summary of artists featured in the sidebar every couple of weeks. In case you haven't noticed, we've had:
D'Angelo- a lyrical and musical genius, it's really a shame that good ol' D hasn't been able to pull it together for another album. It has been awhile since his last Voodoo release in 1997. Like feel-good music (Al Green and Marvin Gaye)? Like a good grove? Like walking to a beat? This guy's got your number. I can't stay in a bad mood.
Arto Lindsay- Think smooth latin vocals dancing above some technically complex rhythmic and sonic tracks. Verry intewesting.
Gloria Estefan - Yeah, sure, we all think of her as the watered down J-Lo, but Ms. Estefan definitely has some tricks up to her sleeve when she hearkens back to the classics. If you like Buena Vista Social Club, you'll love Abriendo - it has a great old salsa feel that's as satisfying as a big family dinner cooked by your mom.
Sigur Ros- This esoteric foursome actually created their own language that sings true (even without literal translation) amongst thick sonic passageways - it's really beautiful and breathtaking at points.
Hope this helps expand your musical horizons! More to come soon.
