Hidden Gem: Basia Bulat “Infamous”

Posted on February 8, 2016March 9, 2023 By Sammy Younan No Comments on Hidden Gem: Basia Bulat “Infamous”

Sammy Younan

Girth Radio Presents…

A friend of mine…she likes to sing in the car picked me up one day to get some tea. She had Basia Bulat’s fantastic Oh, My Darling totally cranked. Wow, who is this? She wasn’t sure how to pronounce her name but she passed her on to me, along…generously with the cd we were listening too. Tea and tunes does it for me every single time.

Since then we’ve seen Basia Bulat live (she did not disappoint!) and I’ve continued with her (the singer and my friend; they’re both lovely). Basia followed Oh, My Darling with Heart of My Own and her biggest release yet in 2013 she dropped Tall Tall Shadow. And now: we get new music from her in 2016! Ah-maz-ing!

Check this out…from her forthcoming album Good Advice (take mine and play this track! Get Basia Bulat into your life; she’ll make it better):

Fun Facts

  • Good Advice will be released on February 12, 2016 (tell your single friends!)
  • According to Basia: “It’s got fireworks and heartbreak and a disco ball and I can’t wait to share more of it with you really soon!” (Yes! Generous people are the best!)
  • My Morning Jacket frontman Jim James produced the album
  • This is Tall Tall Shadow from her last album of the same name
  • This is Snakes and Ladders (my favourite Basia tune!) from Oh, My Darling
