Mykesbass Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 This one will hopefully meet the approval of many of you - new material from Meshell Ndegeocello. Jazz/Soul, just beautiful, and one of the best bass centric tracks I've heard. Thanks to Cerys Matthews who played this today. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowB_FTW Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I'm gonna echo what the bass player says at the end of that track and say, I love that one. Mark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted August 21, 2023 Author Share Posted August 21, 2023 Really nice piece of pop on 6 Music this afternoon by CVC. Really liked the fluid bass line and mix of bass/bass drum. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here a 7yo song that has matured nicely, IMHO. "Backbeat" I like this a lot, as I do her fellow countrywoman Sigrid,whose voice isn't dissimilar. IMO pop's in quite a good place now, well female fronted pop anyway, what with these two, Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really worth a close listen - maybe with headphones coz of the gazillions of tiny elements. Me lurves it. Also her "Sucker Punch" and probably other songs, but I don't know any of these artists very well. As you say: female fronted pop's in a good place, and many young Norse artists have found their way to my playlists. Norseland also has guys, like this guy: Sondre Justad. Here he's singing the day after an anti-gay terror attack that killed two people. Also without the devastating setting I love this song.

They're a fantastic band and the album is well worth checking out, it's full of really tasty bass playing and Ben is the first bass player in a while from a new band that plays anything interesting (imo) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Heard this for the first time earlier today on 6Music, the radio was only on quietly but the bass jumped out immediately.

She's just great, her natural prettiness, no heavy make up and visual gimmicks, fantastic voice, slinky moves oh and yeah and really good songs. I'm generally not a fan of white rock and pop vocalists. Much prefer female. There are just 3 or 4 whose vocals I like. The majority range from the passably mediocre at one end to the truly abysmal at the other. Viz male vocals I tend to prefer the great soul singers from Otis to Luther. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowB_FTW Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 It's been out about a month now but it's just popped up on my radar, the new album by PiL - End of World. The first two tracks are absolute crackers. I'm very impressed with these. I quite like tracks 4, 7, 8, and 12, but for me the absolute standouts are the first two tracks. I wish the rest of the album could have followed these two, but then, that wouldn't be PiL now, would it? https://soundcloud.com/publicimageltd/sets/end-of-world-3 Above SoundCloud link for the full album, for anyone interested.

Bassassin Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Exploring Birdsong - 3-piece female-fronted, keyboard-led progressive rock. I think they're stunningly good. Their vocalist Lynsey Ward guested on Lifesigns' last album Altitude - checked them out & I think I like her band better! They've so far released 2 EPs, waiting with bated breath for an album & tour. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassTractor Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 For @Barking Spiders and possible others, Dagny is another young Norse artist, here with orchestra. Some cracking pop songs amongst those, IMHO. If I understand correctly, this footage should play wherever you are. https://tv.nrk.no/serie/kork-hele-landets-orkester/2021/MKKA11003420/avspiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothingman Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Discovered Karina Rykman about 18 hours ago. I’m hooked. Really talented musician, great pop songs with soooooo much left field influence, and a bloody amazing ball off fun energy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
