We all know that Sting is a fantastic song writer, all round musician and vocalist but did we realise quite how distinctive his vocal sound is? Listen to this Gotye track - especially the chorus. I thought the 80s retro production trend was over, perhaps I was wrong (not for the first time)!
Following on from this but on a slightly different tangent, what a wonderful and original artist Kimbra is! Her album 'Vows' is contemporary and inventive as well as featuring songs that are well crafted and acccessible. These things do not always make for a happy marriage! I challenge you to listen to 'Settle Down' below through a decent pair of headphones and not like it DESPITE the subject matter of the song!
