Music Obsessed!: Kimbra, Emile Sande, Gotye, & Miami Horror!

Now what kind of blogger would I be if I didn't share these tracks that have been burning up my Ipod! I work part time in retail so there's always a constant flow of annoying pop techno remixes going on. But every once in a while they will play an amazing track that will lead me to other great artists. And these artist by far have absolutely tickled my fancy:

Emile Sande - Heaven
When I first heard Heaven I thought it was Leona Lewis. Her voice is flipping amazing, and I absolutely love her image! I've never been a fan of shaved heads but her haircut is so cute I'm temped to shave bleach and straighten my hair. What do you think? But anywho, if you get past the pop techno beat, the lyrics to Heaven are pretty deep. I can't wait to hear more

Miami Horror - I Look to You ft. Kimbra
This is such a mainstream song, so if you're not into the who popular music thing you might want to skip this track. However when I'm working and this track starts playing I envision myself on a runway a a bedazzled sequin dress and some show stopping 6" stiletto heels. Love it! The video has this trippy kaleidoscope thing going on. I kind of like it.

Kimbra - Settle Down
This song sounds absolutely crazy the first time you hear it. If I were a man, I can only imagine being thoroughly creeped out hearing a woman talking about having a child with me which she has already named. Yikes. Yet at the same time I find it truly clever. How else can one perfectly portray how obsessed women are with commitment to a funky beat?

Gotye - Somebody I Used To Know ft Kimbra
Yes I know more Kimbra. What can I tell you folks, she's talented. But I digress. After listening to Settle down I saw the link for Gotye's song which had over 12 millions hits on the YouTube video. WTF?! I've never even heard of this guy before. I'm glad I found him though. This song is so addictive! Video is interesting. I keep wondering how long it took to paint. Anywho, I've been listening to his latest album Making Mirrors which is also marvelous so I definitely recommend giving it a listen!
