I dunno who Mieke is…she’s new. Mieke her debut EP was released on August 28. Ethereal in that Kate Bush, Bjork sorta way I hope we can get her into Girth for a 2016 In Session. I like new people.
A few listens inspired the following stream of consciousnesses…

It is utterly criminal how this emotionally dense song isn’t featured in a movie. (Zella’s Sacrifice was used in Insurgent…file that under “when good songs are used in bad movies”).

Turn this up…irresistible Swedish pop!
Hard to believe she sings: “I know you feel that pop doesn’t really have a clue.” (You don’t think she means pop as in pops…dad, father etc. do you?). This pop tune is clued into my mood: wild chair dancing.

Want to feel old? TLC’s Scrubs came out in early 1999. The song is just over 15 years old. Ouch. But it’s message is true then as it is now:
“A scrub is a guy that thinks he’s fly
And is also known as a buster
Always talkin’ about what he wants
And just sits on his broke ass
A scrub is a guy that cant get no love from me…”

Remember Jewel? I recently caught her Howard Stern interview…I was shocked…as in oh yeah Jewel. Jewel was so big back in the day and then she seemed to disappear; I’d totally forgotten about her. She’s back with a new album; but it’s this standout track that drew my attention.

At the end of August Cœur de pirate released a new album Roses…I’ve been slowly steadily working through it. One of her best and strongest.
She’s this attractive French Canadian girl…a tough and fierce package…you can’t see it in this video but on her arm she’s got this amazing tattoo of Alice in Wonderland armed with an Elgin pistol and a cutlass; met her briefly at a TIFF party couple years back and I was mesmerized by the tattoo…why does Alice have a Elgin pistol AND a cutlass? Or rather…why not?

Curious choice, yeah? I only include it as a Hidden Gem because…it works. Put it on and see how people are you move, nod their head, tap their foot. When it comes to pop music sometimes the slow wave of acceptance as the beat subtly seduces a listener it just as magical as fresh music.

Oh be still my 80s loving heart. You hear that delightful synth?! That voice radiating pop’s best hopes. What a fun upbeat tune.

I nearly burst into tears when I pushed play on this video…New Order are back! Oh how this band has been missed. While I enjoy Depeche Mode my 80s synth heart beats for New Order. I carved our names into a tree, giant heart…big arrow…the whole deal.

Now this is math I can get behind: Drake x Florence + The Machine = freshness! Turn this mashup up! (Points for an excellent video…all around outstanding work…)
