American (not canadian) Dream

I don't wanna be any less of a track sniffer then my dear colleague. To people who know me it wont come as a surprise that I love almost anything that Robyn is involved in. We did a post on the stuff she's done over at cherrytree records just last week. Now I found a collaboration with a, to me at least, unknown artist named Troy This. The song is called American Dream (Happy Song) and it just keeps spinning around in my head. It's totally awesome. It's more dancy than the Canada-loving stuff A posted earlier. Ohh! Crapp... offers a free download of the song here. If you do wanna preview it before downloading you can listen to it here at HypeMachine.

The Cherrytree Sessions

The awesome label Cherrytree records is, according to us, releasing some of the most amazing tracks you can possibly find. But right now we're gonna focus on two hot(in more than one sense of the word) ladies, who are extremely musical and talented but hide behind the technology. You can find all the musig in this post for download if you go to the iTunes Music Store and search for 'Cherrytree Sessions'. Yes they cost 5 bucks all togeter but they're dynamite so don't be a cheap S.O.B.

First up is Lady Gaga who basically forced her way into the humming-sphere of everyone last year with her hit song Just dance. Don't get this wrong, it was and still is extremely club and iPod-worthy, but it did not show off her best side. Her absolutely best side comes out when she's behind a piano. Check it out:

If you wanna see her perform the whole tracks you can do so at Cherrytree Records website:
Just Dance
Pokerface <---------- Gotta have it


The second bunch of talent you have here is Robyn, the main thing why Sweden is not deported from Earth. She started out her career with a lot of RnB-ish sounds, then moved into more mainstream pop-stuff and created tracks like Underneath the Heart and Psycho which will forever be etched into our Swedish contributor's heart. Then Robyn went her own way, and that meant towards electro and she has never been hotter. Her versatility and talent is shown when she does stripped down acoustic versions of the songs that always seem to invade our sets when we play. Check this out:

Same thing here, if you want to see her perform the whole tracks you can do so at Cherrytree Records website:
Be Mine
With Every Heartbeat
Bum Like You <--------- Total sweetness

That's it. We know it was long but who cares when such awesomeness(as Barney would say) is on display?

Acoustica

We're on a roll here so we should just keep posting.

We got this awesome tip from a friend of ours, that we should check out a performance by this Swedish twitchy thing called Lykke Li. We don't really know what to think about this. It is good, no doubt about it. It is a bit retarded with so many guest appearances by the likes of Robyn, Shout Out Louds etc. Lykke Li herself is not as twitchy as she usually is so I guess the final verdict is that it's totally awesome. It is live and acoustic, and the song I'm Good, I'm Gone. Love it or hate it but after her concert at Coachella this year, you would be stupid to hate it. But yeah, the walkman thing is totally strange verging on deranged.
