NOW PLAYING


I know, I know, I know. I know this is kinda supreme cringe and two of them have no business being anywhere near this, because it doesn't hold a candle to their excellent 70s output.

But I really like their voices, all three. And the sound wonderful together. So kill me.

I wouldn't think Will Smith would be able to channel or even ape Naughty by Nature in particular... but hey, the production's superb, so I guess why not. And not just production, let's admit it, he slaps. The entire song slaps.

(P. S. this was literally one of the first music videos I've ever seen - my parents had MTV, which nobody else here had back then)
 

People tend to put down Oldfield for not being a technical savant or something... but he is ridiculously idiosyncratic, I mean, he's possibly the most instantly recognisable guitarist ever, he has a good flow, he has unparalleled melodic sensibility and he makes everything feel completely effortless. Besides creating his albums from scratch, mostly on his own, composing and recording 40-minute-long pieces by playing all the instruments.

I know it's not everything. But it must be something, right?

I wish there were more songs with these 3.
Not a huge fan of them and if I had to choose one it would be Sting by far! He blended well with Knopfler too.
 
Battle Beast - Last Goodbye

New single (probably from an upcoming new album). What to say, they continue the strong delivery from the latest album. Great. Classic style of theirs. Melodic hooks, fitting vocal ideas and a memorable chorus, what more to ask for... :)

James Dean Bradfield - Even in Exile (2020)

Second solo album by the Manic Street Preachers' singer/guitarist, a concept album about Victor Jara with lyrics by the poet and playwright Patrick Jones (Nicky Wire's older brother). Very different to the first one but very good nonetheless.

This guy is really talented and underappreciated.
