Meine absolute Lieblings-CD zur Zeit – geniale Texte, eine traumhafte Stimme, hinreissende Beats und Melodien… ich hätts mir nicht denken können nach dem Sommer Hit „Das ist die perfekte Welle“ – aber der Rest der CD ist wirklich gut!

Sie haben gesagt, es würde Regen geben,
doch wir sitzen hier seit Stunden, trinken Wein
und sind einfach nur am Leben.

The title above is a very good description of MIA’s music by Matthew Cooke. Ⅰ had heard about Ⅿ.I.A. first at a special show of austria’s FM4 radio station about this year’s Sonar Festival (Link to pics at flickr) in Barcelona, Spain; where she was one of the hyped newcomer acts or so. And she is – hyped but not overhyped. Her stuff is cool, new, fresh and refreshing. But then Ⅰ am not so much in favor of the whole album… it hasn’t grown on me yet. But nevertheless: if you ever considered doing something good for your musical horizon, if you like tribal folk ‚lectro hip hop. Check her out.

Pink’s new album has me hooked. It is full of good tracks with awesome beats, great words and other than that: a huge temptation to just start dancing. Even the slower songs have great rhythm – groovy. Ⅰ suppose my neighbors and whoever is watching into my windows is wondering what cool music Ⅰ am dancing to
