Lampshade vs. Nikolaj Nørlund

When it comes to covers I can't get enough. Eg. I love the new compilation: "Hollywood mon amour" which includes great covers of cool moviesongs from the 80's. Also I love the new Seal album which is filled with grand soul and all covers. Some times it just work. I Dk a new compilation just came out containing great dane classics called "Kender du det" - referring to Søren Kragh Jacobsens great classic. On the album is also a new version of "Den støjende tid" which was made by what I think is a genius, the great Nikolaj Nørlund. It is a very melancholic song based one of poems by the late popular cult author Michael Strunge. The new song is very different, not as melancholic but I would still like to draw attention to it. I think Lampshade did a great job, but I think I would miss the melancholic tone from Nikolaj Nørlund. What do you think?

Discovering the new soul theme

During the last couple of years the old school soul has taken a revival in the new music. Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Adele and many others have taken the soul and incorporated it into their sound. Now, more and more musicians have done the same, leaving a bunch of different choices when wanting to experience the new soul. I have compiled a playlist of the different varieties for your pleasure and overlook. Happy new soul-hunting.
