Folk autumn!

Month number 5, Task 5

Ben Howard. Taman sam mislila da neću ovako brzo naći jednako jake muzičare kao prethodne, kad ono međutim :) U pitanju je diiiivan folk/acoustic/indie izvođač iz Velike Britanije. Surfer, sa svega dvadeset i nešto leta. Ima pravi indie folk glas, bogat, ali tugaljiv. I pesme odišu setom, kao prave acoustic folk pesme. A to je ona "prijatna" seta, koju želiš iznova i iznova da osetiš. Koja inspiriše, koja emotiviše. I kao što je neko na You tube napisao za njegovu, inače veseliju pesmu: " a happy song, that makes me cry". 

Izdao je samo jedan album "Every kingdom", koji je ceo na repeat, naravno već danima.

Ben Howard. I have just thought that I won`t easily find another great artist like the previous ones, when suddenly... :) Ben is one wonderful folk/acoustic/indie performer from the UK. Surfer, only twenty and something years old. He`s got a real indie folk voice, rich, and a bit melancholic. His songs also sound of melancholy, like real acoustic folk songs do. And it`s that melancholy that is pleasant, that you want to feel over and over again. The one that inspires, that makes you emotional. And like someone on You tube mentioned for one of his happy songs: "a happy song, that makes me cry".

He has published one album "Every kingdom", which is on repeat of course, for days.

I`m on Facebook now :)

Mnogi su počeli da me kritikuju što ne otvorim i Facebook stranicu, naročito oni koji se ne snalaze u svetu bloggera, i žele ljudski da prokomentarišu ili iskritikuju nešto od onoga što postujem. I zato evo mene i na Facebooku (link). Slobodno lajkujte, neću se ljutiti :)

Uživajte u vikendu, uz ovu veselu numericu:

/////////////////////////////

Lots of people started to criticize me for not opening a Facebook page (especially those who are not good in a world of bloggers), so that they could comment and criticize some of the things I`m posting about. So, here I`m in a world of Facebook pages too (link). Feel free to like the page, I won`t mind :)

Enjoy your weekend with this cheerful summer tune:

I ne zaboravite: ////////////// And don`t forget:

Do the hustle!

Month number 5, Task 4

Evo mene sa novim muzičkim predlogom :) Mayer Hawthorne! Ima već dva albuma (A strange arrangements, How do you do) i možda će biti  "Gle Sašku, otkrila je Ameriku", ali ja sam ga zaista tek sada otkrila. I jako sam zahvalna na tome. U pitanju je presimpatičan belac, "štreberskog" izgleda, glasa koji podseća na Pharell Williams-a, i neo soul/funk muzike koja podseća na Raphael Saadiq, Aloe Blacc. Ako ste kao dete zaljubljeni, ili biste to želeli barem u mislima, onda je njegova muzika pravi izbor za vas. Ako volite Johna Travoltu i celu atmosferu koju stvaraju filmovi poput Saturday night fever, i onda poslušajte Mayera. Ukoliko, pak, želite predlog neke nove, pa čak i sladunjave muzike, e, i onda ga poslušajte.

///////////

Here`s me with a new music suggestion :) Mayer Hawthorne. He has published two albums already (A strange arrangements, How do you do), and it`ll maybe be like "Look at Saskia. Like she has had eureka moment", but I have really discovered him just now. And I`m very grateful for that. The artist in question is one sweet white man, nierdie looking, with a voice that reminds of Pharell Williams, and music that resembles to Raphael Saadiq, Aloe Blacc. If you are in love with someone like a child, or you at least wish for that in your thoughts, then his music is the right choice for you. If you like John Travolta and the whole atmosphere of the movies such as Saturday night fever, you listen to Mayer then also. Or if you just want some new suggestion of sweet melodical sounds, yous should listen to Mayer then also.

Modern jazz from the Netherlands

Month number 5, Task 3

U ovom postu predstavljam mladog pevača i jazz pijanistu iz Holandije. Predivan i opuštajući glas, zavodljivi zvuci klavira, saksofona i truba, čine njegovu muziku prosto neodoljivom. I njegovo nežno lice i celokupna vizuelna pojava, odlično se uklapaju uz zvuk koji stvara. Ruben Hein me dosta podeća na Jason Mraza i John Mayera. 

Za sada je izdao samo jedan album, Loose fit, koji ćemo slušati u željnom iščekivanju narednog.

/////////////

In this post I`m representing a young singer and jazz pianist from the Netherlands. Wonderful and soothing voice, seducing sounds of piano, sax and trumpets, make his music simply irresistible. His gentle face and the whole visual appearance, fit excelently to teh sounds he is making. Ruben Hein reminds me a lot of Jason Mraz and John Mayer.

For now he has published only one album, Loose fit, which we`ll impatiently listen to until the next one.

70s are back!

Month number 5, Task 2

Jonathan Jeremiah. Engleski folk i soul newcomer. Prvi put sam ga slučajno čula na jednom radiju, i odmah sam potražila bilo kakvu informaciju o njemu, misleći da tražim nekoga iz 70ih. Nenadano sam saznala da je on svoj album, Solitary man, izdao prošle godine. I ovo je album koji evo već danima slušam. Jedan je od onih koji ti se, što ih više slušaš, sve više sviđa. Bogat, baritonski glas, i pažljivo odabrani, neizostavni akordi gitare, činje njegove pesme neodoljivim. Ovo su pesme koje posebno treba slušati dok se vozite autom, a kroz prozor gledate predele koji prolaze i koji vam pobuđuju maštu.

Jonathan Jeremiah. English folk and soul newcomer. First time I accidentaly heard him on the radio, and immediately looked for him on the Internet, all the time thinking that I`m looking for the artist from the 70s. At the end I found out that he published his album, Solitary album, only last year. This is also the album on which I`m hooked for days now. One of those who you like more, the more you listen to them. Rich, bariton voice, and  carefully picked guitar accords, make his songs irresistible. These songs are the ones you should especially listen to while driven in the car, and while you are looking through windows to the beautiful sceneries that yoo are passing by and which are awakening your imagination.

Asa - Nigerian soul/jazz princess

Month number 5, Task 1

Ovaj zadatak je definitivno bio pun pogodak, pošto sam već imala jedno divno muzičko otkriće, kome sam prepuštena već danima. U pitanju je nigerijsko-francuska pevačica Asa (Asha), http://www.asa-official.com/. Ova pevačica savršeno uklapa soul, jazz, world i reaggee muziku, i tako nam nudi savršenu kombinaciju eklektičnog čulnog savršenstva. Ukoliko volite da slušate Erykah Badu, India Arie, Ayo, Raphael Saadiq, Janelle Monae, sa malo primesa Tracy Chepman, onda će Asa biti pun pogodak za vas.

Asa je izdala dva albuma: Asa i Beautiful Imperfection. U nekim pesmama kombinuje engleski sa Yoruba jezikom, što daje posebnu notu i bogatstvo njenim pesmama. Slušam ih neprekidno već danima, i ubeđena sam da će mi se u tome još neko pridružiti, nakon čitanja ovog posta :)

/////////////////////////

This task has definitely been right choice, since I have already had an amazing musical discovery, in which I`m indulged for days now. The singer in question is Asa (Asha), http://www.asa-official.com/. This singer excelently blends soul, jazz, world and reaggee music, and is giving us a perfect combination of eclectic hearing perfection. If you like Erykah Badu, India Arie, Ayo, Raphael Saadiq, Janelle Monae, with a little spice of Tracy Chepman, tha Asa will be the right shot for you.

Asa has published two albums: Asa and Beautiful imperfection. In some song she combines English with Yoruba, which gives a special note and ricness to her music. I have been listening to her music for days now, and I`m sure that some of you will definitely join me, after reading this post :)
