New Musical Discoveries - Michael Barbera & Sia - Black and Blue

It is hard to comprehend just what a talented songwriter Sia truly is. This song was originally considered run of the mill virtually a throwaway. That all changed once the song was covered by Paloma Faith and used to great effect in the latest Avengers movie. Of course, Paloma felt obliged to come up with a name change to "Warrior" since she already had a prior different song entitled "Black and Blue". First up here is the duet demo performed by Michael Barbera with Sia.



Here is Sia's solo. Which do you prefer?

From the very first sounds of those swirling guitars, I was hooked! Probably beyond redemption. Laughs. No matter. But magically, the song only improves from there, particularly with the introduction of the sunny captivating double-tracked vocals. Such a happy song !!

New Musical Discoveries - The Spitfires - On My Mind

Rumour has it that after emerging form his Darkest Hour, Winston Churchill promptly proclaimed this group to be his favourite band of all time. Alas, this is merely conjecture; not just for such splendid nomenclature, but even more, for their take charge and never surrender attitude to music befitting of any musical leader. rightly expect a kernel of truth in such an assertion.
