Rob Thomas “Her Diamonds” Released: April 27, 2009
From Forthcoming Release: cradlesong ♫♪1/2
I like it. Can see it becoming a bit of a mini-anthem. Charming with a folk quality and a bit of fireside spiritual. A slow-burning grower kind-of-song.
Kristinia DeBarge “Goodbye” Released: April 28, 2009
From Forthcoming Release: TBD ♫♪
Even the interpolation of the 1969 Steam classic “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” into the chorus doesn’t save it. It’s satisfactory overall, but from a DeBarge, I’d expect more.
Bat For Lashes “Pearl’s Dream” Released: May 28, 2009
From Latest Release: Two Suns ♫♫
I already mentioned this was a favorite in our Just Picked Up feature here. The choruses are sweet and the double-meanings fun. And, I swear that under beat is the Pussycat Doll’s “Don’t Cha.” Even, if it isn’t, it reminds me of it and makes me like it even more. Mash-up anyone?
