Album Review: Erasure – World Be Gone
The new Erasure’s album ‘World Be Gone’ appears to be an incredibly good Electro Pop material. One would recognize this from opener “Love You To The Sky”, which is as shamelessly upbeat as its name suggests. It acts, though, as a lure to draw one into more thoughtful territories driven by the duo’s need to address “important issues”: the pragmatic break-up of “A Bitter Parting” – Though we are oceans apart/ It seems you’re always there – might well be referencing Britain’s recent referendum, while “Still It’s Not Over”, a passionate torch song, celebrates the civil rights movement of vulnerable groups.
“Oh What A World”’s darker synth textures also suit Andy Bell’s despair well, while the beat-free “Take Me Out Of Myself” is as close as Vince Clark will ever get to ‘unplugging’, Bell’s frustrations delivered in an admirably level- headed fashion: Please talk to me/ As if I’m equal. They close things more optimistically, Bell insisting, against twinkling synths on “Just A Little Love”.
Nonetheless, it’s “Sweet Summer Loving”, that documents, in unequivocal terms, Bell’s romantic reawakening after his partner’s death in 2012, that lingers longest.
Below you can watch the performance of their newest single “Love You To The Sky” which is personally my favorite track from this record.

A quiet piano melody, resonant vocals, and synth atmospherics are the main ingredients of “Christmas In The Machine” by Steven Jones & Logan Sky. Certainly, this is a different kind of Xmas song as it is not festive nor upbeat as we are used to hearing in December. However, I like artists like them who think out of the box and dares to take a dark direction for the holiday season.
First and foremost, listeners can feel a bit melancholy or nostalgic once they pay attention to the lyrics. Personally, all of this makes me think of a dystopian future where there are no dreams and Santa is a matter of the past. In terms of sound, if this reminds you of legendary New Romantic bands, then you have a good ear for music. Indeed, Logan was the keyboardist in Visage, while Steven’s great singing voice often sounds like Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan. Make sure to watch the visuals below and get your own conclusions.

Tove Lo Creates Lyric Video For “Are U Gonna Tell Her?” — WATCH
These days anyone can create lyric videos to hook viewers on YouTube, especially artists as popular as Tove Lo.
These days anyone can create lyric videos to hook viewers on YouTube, especially artists as popular as Tove Lo. This Grammy-nominated talent just released cool visuals for “Are U Gonna Tell Her?” featuring Brazilian rapper MC Zaac. Most importantly, I think this is the first time she dares to experiment with hot Latin rhythms. In my opinion, this aspect makes a good match between her carefree vibes and fun/sexy personality. Moreover, if you would like to test your karaoke skills, then I will suggest you watch other previous clips like “Sweettalk My Heart” or “Really Don’t Like U”, this latter features the one and only, Kylie Minogue.

See New Fabulous Video Of NINA’s “Automatic Call”
It’s impossible not to like NINA’s lovely vocals, 80s-tinged melodies, and emotive lyrics on “Automatic Call”.
It’s impossible not to like NINA‘s lovely vocals, 80s-tinged melodies, and emotive lyrics. “Automatic Call” is a fresh Electro-Pop tune that sounds as good as last year’s anthem “Sleepwalking”. The European singer continues to ride the wave of success and keeps the analog synth chords more relevant than ever before. Not for nothing, she has earned the title of Queen Of Synthwave lately. Contrary to the popular misconception, the way she uses retro aesthetics on her visuals is not a synonym with the past but with the future. If you’re into cutting-edge artists she’s the one to look out for.

Video Premiere: Sam Sparro – Everything
The Australian singer keeps his soulful vocals in good condition on the newest single “Everything”.
I have been a big fan of Sam Sparro since the release of his 2008 worldwide hit “Black and Gold”. Eleven years have gone by, and the Australian singer keeps his soulful vocals in good condition on the newest single “Everything”. Clearly, he has chosen a sound that reminds us of the early 90s. At the same time, the music video has a vintage vibe to it.
The clip is something pretty funny to watch, plus, Sam’s queer friends will make you laugh. The good news is that this infectious song belongs to his upcoming album, ‘Boombox Eternal’, out on February 21st, 2020. So far, I know that the album’s concept focuses on the celebration of life, love and it’s also a declaration of joy. Can’t wait for it!

You may wonder what makes today’s music edgy. In my opinion, breaking the mold and transcending genre barriers are the key. Hailing from LA, ITSTALENTNIGHT approaches that fresh style by merging Hip-Hop and Electro-Pop sounds. Proof of this is their new single “We Are Who We Are”, featuring Shay J on vocals. Certainly, the rap verses also play an important role. As a result, we have a fun self-expression anthem that promotes individualism. What’s more, the message revolves around being yourself in a world that imposes limitations on your identity. With thoughtful and inspiring original songs coming our way, I think it is worth to keep an eye on them. Stream in full below.
