Skrillex: Bangarang EP
Judging from the excited response I have seen lately regarding Skrillex’s new EP ‘Bangarang’, which amusingly
is the war cry of the lost boys from the 1991 hit film, ‘Hook’. I just had to check it out and see what all the fuss
was about. Honestly speaking straight off the bat this is not ‘dubstep’ but more like dudstep with a funked up
bass infused sound that is entirely bass driven and out of step with the genre all together. Not to mention the
fact that it’s an album of leaked tracks that have been collaborated on, sadly instead of boosting the album’s
appeal it has just become as messy and disappointing as a fumble during a game winning try at the Rugby
League Grand Final! When I listened to Bangarang over and over again I just had to laugh because all it conjured
up for me was a mash up of scenes of the lost boys from the movie, ‘Hook’ and Heihachi Mishima from the
game, ‘Tekken’ having a huge food fight… which isn’t what you want to imagine when you’re dancing! The fact
is, that this so called dubstep album has been heavily influenced by rave and electro sounds that are just
downright dirty, which has led to a potentially good album being watered down, just like a badly made cordial.
With 7 tracks of pain and suffering I have to say that I’m glad I didn’t buy the album.
Rebecca Ferguson: Heaven
Rebecca has a wonderfully unique voice and as it seems to be the trend these days; runner-ups on X Factor seem to alsomake it big in the industry. I guess it’s the love the public has for the underdog to somehow come out on top, not to say thatRebecca is an underdog as she has a powerful and beautiful voice with a presence about her that can go toe to toe with thebest. This is her debut album and she has an impressive production team that consist of Wayne Hector (Westlife), Eg White(Adele) and Fraser. T. Smith (James Morrison). She shares similarities with Amy Winehouse and Duffy but more so Gabrielle who was a great artist back in 1996 and entirely underrated. Rebecca sings with greatconviction which makes it easy on the ears as you really hear her soulful sound come through on ‘Fairytale’s’, ‘Teach Me

Confirm you are NOT a spammer
How to be Loved’ has a real Adele feel to it and the piano is just exquisite. If Motown’s your flavour ‘Mr. Bright Eyes’ willdelight and if you love “James Bond” themes ‘Fighting Suspicions’ definitely hits the spot. This is an intelligent album withromance at its core but not the mushy dribble you would expect, but a more insightful look into relationships and thecomplexities that are involved. Rebecca’s voice is like freshly baked bread that you butter, smooth and satisfying with thatfeeling of warmth and joy left within.
