Song Of The Week April 22

Seeing as we’re fans of dreamy pop over at the blog, this remix of The Kaleidoscopes song featuring Swiss Music Awards nominee Shuttle caught my attention recently. Remixed by Corserine, this is an unusually jazzy take on the original vapourwave:

I think it’s a song about a boxing match, or a failed relationship though I’m not sure which, either way fans of Japanese band Night Tapes, Tame Impala and even M83 would be well served by giving it a spin. It’s great!

We wish Shuttle the very best on his nomination now voting is closed.

Random Song Of The Week June 26 2023

It’s not often I find myself structuring a song review around Cinderella and her blue dress, but I’m a massive stickler for blue dresses that cost upwards of £30,000 in camp Kenneth Brannagh Holywood adaptations of princesses in blue dresses, but I digress.

Fellow Submithub local Kid Travis has a song out this week of the same name ‘Blue Dress‘ which Travis tells me is “centered around a love interest that wears a beautiful blue dress that attracts him more to her”. EXACTLY like Cinderella, and nothing like Chris De Burgh.

Er, isn’t this dress Turquoise?

But on a serious note, it’s a great slice of well produced contemporary synth pop with shades of Justin Timberlake or The Weeknd but I think Kid Travis has his own sound somewhere else entirely, which is only a good thing.

PS – here’s what a blue dress looks like Mr Travis!!! THAT’S A £30,000 BLUE DRESS!!!!


But what do you think? Turquoise is kind of blue? That’s not what Chris De Burgh told me.

FYI you can now send your music to this blog via Submithub if you want this kind of gently humorous write up of your music. But I need to like it ‘natch.
