But last week, on a whim, I downloaded some new music to revitalise my ears whilst at work, namely:
- Purity Ring - Shrines
- Delilah - From The Roots Up
- Lawson - Taking Over Me EP (cheesy, I know, I don't care! It's fun and makes me happy and reminds me of my bessie :)
- Josh Kumra - Helicopters and Planes EP
- Turbowolf - Selftitled
SO expect some reviews soon!
ANYWAY this post was originally about up and coming singer-songwriter, Josh Kumra!
If he looks and sounds vaguely familiar to you, you'll be forgiven for thinking twice, as he was the guy who deelivered the vocal hook (probably the only thing that makes me like the song) in Wretch 32's UK number 1, 'Don't Go', 'don't leave, please stay, with me..!'. My current obsession with him began when I went to T4 on the Beach a month or so ago, and saw him perform with Wretch 32. His vocal was spot on and I ended up converting to liking the song, which I originally hated!
Moving on, this is his debut solo single, 'Helicopters and Planes'. At first it didn't strike me as anything too individual, but after a while I really got hooked on it! For £1.99 off iTunes (and 99p for the single on its own), it's worth buying the whole EP, and there are surprisingly good remixes on it!
