Watch Out Pink, Beyonce, Here Comes Jessie J

2011 is just around the corner and as you file through currys discount codes while listening to your iPod, one artist you will have to look out for as the new year unfolds is Jessie J. Better known to her family and friends as Jessie Cornish this Essex native has one of those unique powerhouse voices that we like. She is comfortable hitting high notes and knows how to take us along when performing. Her voice is all her, no additives from some fancy machine in the studio, it sounds good and that’s just a fact.

Jessie however is much more than a big voice, she is also an avid songwriter. And she has written a few hit songs for other artists. Remember the Miley Cyrus No 1hit ‘Party in the USA’ yes you guessed it Jessie J wrote it. So make no mistake this girl can write hit songs.

Now she’s putting the finishing touch on what will be her debut album that is expected to be released in 2011. The album title is to be ‘Who You are’ and it is expected to a mixture of grimy R&B, retro soul, pop, and rock. It is expected by many that this album will be a hit in the UK and the US.

Jessie J is no stranger to the stage having performed in Whistle Down the Wind, an Andrew Lloyd Webber production at age 11 years. Over the years she had had her adversity in the business and also some good times as she has toured with Chris Brown, worked with Cyndi Lauper and Dr Luke the hit master. Now even Justin Timberlake has hailed her as the best singer around.

So Pink and Beyonce better watch out, here comes Jessie J.

Jamie Woon’s So Soulful

New artist Jamie Woon is shown what can develop when soulful vocals meet the resonant and spacious production techniques of dubstep.

Jamie Woon who hails from London, is really a true singer songwriter who has his influences firmly planted in soul and that folkie stuff his mum sang. Now his mum was a background singer from some well known acts including Bjork. So now Woon has shifted his focus to dubstep.

Woon can be said to have a big voice and it is so powerful that at times it overpowers the music which may leave you wanting him to tone down a bit so that you can enjoy the music itself and savour the moment. Getting this british schoolboy to tone down maybe difficult since he is clearly enjoying the song and his confidence is just soaring.

He has toured with the likes of Amy Winehouse and back up by his capable he has delivered some very good sets. There is no doubt that Woon by himself can certainly fill a stadium by himself but alas this is the process many good singers have t go through.

Woon’s music has been seen as a successful fusion of old idea with 21^st century blue. It is different and his voice and delivery fit it beautifully. Now the 27 year old is soon to embark on a tour with Vashti Bunyan and he is looking forward to it.

Blues music now has a new flag bearer for a long time to come and it is likely that is star status will only rise as time goes by. So as you use currys discount codes give a listen to Jamie Woon.

Review: Dry the River Band

So I am in the living room online and going through currys discount codes to find the one I want when I hear that some from my favourite band. I start bopping my head to the music and that’s when I recall this band I heard recently the Dry the River.

Dry the River is made up of five lads all based in East London. Their line up is Jon Warren (drums), Will Harvey (violin), Scott Miller (bass), Matt Taylor (guitar), and Pete Liddle (vocals, guitar).

Their name does not at all suggest what they are really all about and they never wanted to be called a techno or dubset act. So when you find yourself at one the shows they are perform all prepared to hear music and voice blasting in your eardrums you are likely to be somewhat disappointed.

Dry the River bring to its audience music that is semi-acoustic and infectious. The songs they blow our to us has a old American frontier feel to them as there are a number of reference to things like medicine men. Peter Liddle who writes many of the bands songs and who is also Norwegian, draws a lot of his inspiration from what he studies when he was in University, namely Anthropology and medicine.

The band initially began as a solo venture before Liddle invited Jon Warren the punk rock drummer, and William Harvey the classical train violinist, in.

The energy from many of the band’s songs cannot be purely classified as punk rock but is surely strong and everyone feels it. Everyone in the band is somewhat feature on their songs. I guess everyone wants to be happy.

This is a band to watch out for and they may be coming to a record store near you as they are being sort by a few music companies at the moment.
