Song of the Day - Broken Brights

Angus Stone - Broken Brights

Album: TBA (2012)

Well, that's 1-0 in Angus' favour. Your move Julia.

Just kidding! Sorta... kinda... maybe. It be true, we struggled to get into The Memory Machine, but the boy Stone has a chance to win us over with his solo album. 'Broken Brights' is a chilled little number, perfect for some relax-ez-vous. Now all we need is something with a bit of excitement; a song that will distance itself from every other chilled out Angus & Julia Stone and Julia Stone track out there. If we don't get something a bit more up-tempo, I'll be left wondering why the two bothered to split up instead of focusing on a follow-up LP to the insanely successful, ARIA Award winning album, Down The Way. Look's like it's going to be 'wait-and-see' for his solo album, but for now, Angus Stone's 'Broken Brights' is a good listen.

Rating: 3/5

10 And 1 - All By Myself

Shirley Manson!



Don't worry, I'm going to resist the urge to do what I really want to... post some amazing covers of 'All By Myself!' Instead, we're talking today about lead singers that need to break away from their bands and release some sweet, sweet solo material. Some of them may have already put an album or a song out and others might have never appeared without the support of their bandmates. All I know is, the next ten singers have got to break free. Now, I know it's been a couple of weeks since the last '10 And 1,' so I'd better explain what's the G-O again. I'll list ten singers that could release an amazing solo album that would make us all very, very happy and finish with one that should never, ever even consider it. Not even for a second. Let's get to it...
