MUSIC: Valentine’s music tips

Fashionoffice received a music tip: 'Shameless' by the British electronic music duo Andy Cato and Tom Findlay who call their label 'Groove Armada' with the voice of Bryan Ferry from legendary Roxy Music in down tempo melodious beat. RCRD LBL, an online record label that releases free music from emerging and established artists, writes about the track "How can a tune invoke both a smoky Parisian café glinting with the reflections of lost loves and early David Bowie? Bryan Ferry …."

‘Lovesick’ by Norwegian DJ Lindstrom and singer Christabelle is the funky-electronic-disco down beat track from the new album ‘Real Life is Cool’, released on 19 Jan 2010.

'The Sun is Down!' by Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band from the album 'Between my Head and the Sky'. Unbelievable that Yoko Ono is 76 years old. It's never too late to make good things! Since January 2010, the musician presents the winners of ‘The Sun is Down!’ remix competition on her website. Yoko Ono writes that she has chosen for the announcement "… January 7th, 2010. This is the day of Nanakusa, an old Japanese tradition of the day we free ourselves from the past year," www.yopob.com.

“Every karaoke love letter, lyrics undiscovered...” sings US, Chicago born musician Lupe Fiasco in punk-rock-rap style in the vampire/werwolf video ‚Solar Midnight’. The video is made of vintage painted nature-green and brown pictures mixed with urban metallic-steel colored asphalt and beton impressions. The title is from the soundtrack of the movie 'The Twilight Saga - New Moon' (movie released in Nov 2009). Lupe writes on Myspace: “Solar Midnite is my first commercial release that I actually produced as well as wrote. … The song basically deals with the chaotic love story that takes place between the characters.” Lupe Fiasco’s new album Lasers (stands for ‘Love Always Shines Everytime Remember 2 Smile’) comes out soon.
