Continuing the #PrideMonth 🏳️🌈 theme of featuring queer artists, here is Savage Garden’s “Crash and Burn”, easily my most favorite song of this Australian duo from their popular 1999 Affirmation album. The music video with its sign language outro is also fantastic.

A helpful YouTube comment with lyrics and meaning of the thumri. That comment here as image in case YT fails to show you the comment (which it does to me now and then):

Phil Collins, whether solo or with his band Genesis, has produced a lot really good songs. (His work on Tarzan was excellent!) But what I really like about his song “Take Me Home” is that it doesn’t sound like it’s from the 1980s especially with its breathy vocals in the chorus (with Sting and Peter Gabriel singing backup!).

New to me: Nina Burmi thumri vocal. That voice and range, and the accompaniments. 🤯 🎶
Also, the stage, outfit, and posture will all transport you back to the courts of Mughal, Ottaman, and Persian emperors. 😍

Continuing the #PrideMonth 🏳️🌈 theme of featuring queer artists, here is “Closer” by Canadian twins Tegan and Sara. I love this 2013 synth-pop banger about desire, and I also love that they use their platform to advocate for

Wyn Starks’s “Who I Am” is one of the best original songs I’ve ever heard performed during a talent show audition. Sadly, Starks was eliminated in the qualifiers of AGT 17 but it doesn’t diminish how great this song is with his powerful vocals.

This unexpected collaboration between Charlie Puth and Utada Hikaru is so good! Charlie is a great musician and him teaming up with one of the biggest and veteran J-pop artists produced this very chill English–Japanese song.

For #PrideMonth 🏳️🌈 I will feature songs by queer artists. First up is Adam Lambert’s cover of Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World”. I like the original, but Adam’s haunting and ethereal vocals really elevates his version to something deserving its own accolade.

Since it is currently #HolyWeek, I’m choosing one of the longtime Christian songs that I absolutely love from the #altRock band
#TuneTuesday (Apr 28)
I can definitely see Half Alive’s 2024 song “Sophie’s House” being used in some coming-of-age comedy. The song’s upbeat nostalgic vibe is a really fun listen and like most of their music videos the dance choreography in this one is really good.

This morning I was a bit not yet awaken when I posted Zappa for #TuneTuesday as It miss the violin requirement.
Here's one that fit better!

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas are extraordinary musicians and their song “When the Party’s Over” is one of my favorite of theirs. The song sounds simple, but the multi-layered vocals and understated accompaniment serves to bring out the piece’s deep emotional story.
#TuneTuesday (Mar 24)
Upbeat breakup songs are a common trope in pop songs and one of these that I really enjoy is #EdSheeran’s “Overpass Graffiti”.
It seems common to hate on this guy, but I actually like him, his musical skills, and a lot of his songs.

Lewis Capaldi uses his great voice to put out a bunch of hits and I like that he doesn’t let stardom get into his head and takes his mental and physical health seriously. Among his songs I’ve heard, “Forget Me” is easily my most favorite with his raspy vocals adding angst into the chorus.
