Lisa Mitchell is an Australian singer-songwritter who in 2006 finished sixth on Australian Idol. She later moved to the UK where she signed with Little Victories, a subsidiary of Sony/ATV.

“Neopolitan Dreams” comes from her second EP Welcome to the Afternoon. An acoustic song that showcase her soft but powerful vocals. An amazing softer electronic remix by DJ Starsmith was released a couple of weeks back creating a much smoother melodic version from the original.

[Acoustic] I Am In Love With Anya Marina…’s Voice

Posted by Blas Yaselli - November 13, 2009

Anya-Marina-best-jazzy-voice-ever!

It is a fantastic feeling. The feeling of utter amazement, almost like what a kid feels as he visits a theme park for the first time. A music rush for this music junkie. Thanks to my stationary job I can afford to listen to music almost every day and every once in a while there is a song/artist that just hits closer to home than other.

Browsing around Sheena Beaston’s blog I came across the beautiful singer/songwriter Anya Marina from San Diego, California. A calm smoky voice softly covering the warm melodies of her acoustic guitar. It feels like Jazz, sounds a bit folky and it is full of enough alternative/pop elements to make your hands and feet move along to its charming rhythm.

On January of 2009 she released her latest album called Slow & Steady Seduction, Phase II. And just recently her cover of Whatever You Like by T.I. aired on the soundtrack of Gossip Girls. Covers are always great to hear but this song hits it out of the park. I really hope we see more of Anya Marina in 2010.

[Acoustic Cover] The Kooks – Kids (MGMT)

I have previously mentioned how I have grown a thick skin to all the way too many remixes of MGMT’s Kids. Yet this cover simply blew me away. The Kooks, a British indie pop band, have rejuvinated my liking to Kids with their amazing cover. The Kooks have been known to do many covers of popular songs like Gnarls Barkley’s Crazy and Coldplay’s Violet Hill.

BONUS: Now lets reverse the process and see who has done a cover of The Kooks? Well its no one else than their British Sister (not literally) Lilly Alan covering The Kooks famous single Naive.

[Chillax] Soft, Minimalistic and Amazing: The Xx

Posted by Blas Yaselli - October 18, 2009

the-xx-the-band-music
Not sure why it took me so long to write about The Xx. If you follow other music blogs or music aggregators like hypem, elbows, or mog, it would have been impossible for you to miss them. They took the internet by storm with their soft mellow songs that were melodically rich and incredibly fresh music style.

The Xx minimalist approach to their music is the perfect example that less is most often better. They band from south west London, England released their album XX on 17 August 2009. Some polls made by music bloggers suggest that this album might be the best of 2009. Whether you agree or not, this album is a must when all you want to do is relax to good music.
