The 'im sick of chart music so lets all share our secret treasures' thread
I thought this thread would be a great idea for those of us (sure thats many) who are getting tired of the music on our radios, tv's today.
The idea is that we all share two or three artists. The only rule? THEY ARE NOT IN THE CHARTS!!! This is undiscovered artists basically unknown on our shores. Hopefully all of us are gonna find some new music we can enjoy because im running out of music to listen to. Ok I shall start things of.. Sarah Dawn Finer Big beautiful busty blonde Swedish soul sensation Sarah Dawn Finer is an incredible vocalist. When she sings live it's pure perfection, her voice simply glides. She started her career as a backing singer and was later offered a record deal. Shes so far only released one album but has another coming out very soon. I strongly recommend her. Heres some outstanding live performances.. Moving On http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uhezzqJsKY# Stockholm By Morning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfkzAG_hxm8 A Way Back To Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rCkN...eature=related I Remember Love http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EsZhLEn3AU Patricia Kaas Heres one for people who enjoy world music. From France we have the lovely Patricia Kaas. She sings very much in a style of yesteryear. Think haunting piano, deep smokey vocals and melodys that will send a shiver down your spine. Et S'il Fallait Le Faire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I176a...e=channel_page Une Derniere Foir http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IhWS...eature=related Piano Bar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfQgS...eature=related Jazmine Sullivan Now this is something for the RNB fans. I was in two minds whether to put this here because at the moment shes attempting to make it big on our shores and she very well will if the quality of her music is anything to go by. She is a breath of fresh air compared to the repetitive chart RNB we have to all put up with today. She mixes everything into her songs. Soul, jazz, electro, Reggae, classical (yes classical) and her voice is sensational. Husky, velvety tones. Like a mixture of Macy Gray, Brandy and Mary J Blige. Ive fallen in love with her music. Lions Tigers And Bears http://www.vibe.com/news/videos/2009...d_bears_video/ Dream Big http://smartenupnas.com/2009/03/04/j...eam-big-video/ Fear http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6Cfn9ZtpAw (one of my favourites from the album) Im In Love With Another Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IIF9IAQSnU# So get sharing your singers people! I can't wait to discover some new artists. Doesnt matter the genre.. GET SHARING (down with chart music lol!!)

I Wrote.. "I Feel Like I Can Fly A Plane, Race A Train, Travel Through The Galaxies, And Make The Stars Spell Out Your Name.." Lool..As You Can Probably Tell I Was A Little Deluded And Had To Get Some Stuff Of My Chest During That Spot Of Blogging..Hahaaa. Anyway..In October It Got Even Better..I Found Out That She Had Actually Credited Me As One Of The Songwriters Alongside The Great Rico Love And Loss Da Maestro..I Didn't Even Ask For It..When She Asked Me In The Beginning I Was Like What The Heck I Don't Really Mind..But Anyway I Cried For About An Hour..Lool..And Then To Top Everything Off..The Album She Put It On Got Nominated For A GRAMMY!!!

Roses Kings Castles- Adam Ficek's (Babyshambles drummer) solo project. He's made some really good, cute and catchy songs (and music videos), has a really nice voice and is self funded. His next album is being produced by Stephen Street so hopefully this will give him a decent push.
Here's Entroubled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHrH4...eature=channel - fantastic video! And Horses with Bells! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39i3s...e=channel_page And Sparkling Bootz: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbCUQ...eature=channel If this isn't reason enough to entice you he is also cute as a button so check him out!

I like several Japanese bands. These four are probably the least known: Malice Mizer Moi Dix Mois X Japan (And no, the singer has not escaped from an insurance company) Hizaki Grace Project Recent Slovenian discovery of mine here (apologies for the cheesy video): Laibach And some Finns: Sonata Arctica |

I'll suggest Yolanda Brown - http://yolandabrown.co.uk/Home.html
She is a very talented Saxophonist and just won the MOBO award last year for Best Jazz. I love her song "Just Say"!! She is working on her album at the moment, in amongst lots of touring. Random fact, but she is actually studying for her PhD in my department at the moment at Kent Uni, and was so shocked when I saw her on TV at the MOBOs because until then I had no idea! Anyway I think she is definately one to look out for! |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFfPwNzzTlQ This is by a spanish singer called Thalia. I only just discovered the song while messin around on youtube and procrastinating from studying! ![]() ![]() I don't know if this has ever been in the charts but here's the linky anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eIPaZ0V5f-8 It's "I Put A Spell on You" by Natacha Atlas. I like her style of music. |

Here's some stuff I quite like
Uniklubi They're from Finland, if you like HIM you'll probably quite like them, they sing in finnish http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5CNSjy4rxk The 69 eyes Also from Finland, the singer kind of sounds like a gothic Elvis, they're also known as the Helsinki Vampires http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5rh969E9oA Tarja Turunen Another Finnish act! a beautiful lady with a beautiful voice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaOZWD-3aYI Deathstars These guys are from sweden, I saw them as a support act in 2007, they put on a very good live show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWUmw2ITaFA Anna Tsuchiya This lady is from Japan, I came across her by accident on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtpP9KvDu28 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2zJc...eature=related I know this is a thread about bands that arn't in the charts but I was very happy to hear that Rammstein's new album has got to number 16 in the album charts! |
