De nouvelles chansons

Time for another selection of recent choons that have entered my consciousness lately...

Let's open the shebang with a healthy slice of kitsch, courtesy of X-Factor finalists 2 Shoes with their campy take on the Kathy Brown house classic Turn Me On (Turn Me Out). Hilarious! A rather good video too:

2 Shoes - Turn Me On (Turn Me Out)

In complete contrast, here's an ultra-cool new song by London duo Avec Sans. It's called Heartbreak Hi, and I love it:

Avec Sans - Heartbreak Hi

If we ever get a summer here in the UK, I reckon this track - from an old favourite Melody Gardot - would be a contender for "summer anthem". From her current album The Absence, here's the joyful Mira:

Melody Gardot - Mira

Only last week I wished Miss Róisín Murphy a very happy birthday - and now here is her latest collaboration with DJ David Morales, Golden Era - fab video, fab song!

David Morales and Róisín Murphy - Golden Era

As we are still heading for clubland, we celebrate the return of Libya's finest export and former Iio vocalist, the lovely Nadia Ali (partnered with EDX) with the stomping This Is Your Life:

EDX & Nadia Ali - This Is Your Life

Presenting a "look" reminiscent of Klaus Nomi or perhaps Jobriath, here's the Canadian artist known as Diamond Rings with his rather wonderful new single I'm Just Me:

Diamond Rings - I'm Just Me

And finally, saving the very best to last - it's the new single from house favourite here at Dolores Delargo Towers, the fantabulosa Ysa Ferrer! Once again aiming squarely at her core camp gay audience with an outrageous video - here's Pom Pom Girl... J'adore Ysa Ferrer!

Ysa Ferrer - Pom Pom Girl

Enjoy, folks!

All wound up and ready to play...

Time once more for me to share with you, dear reader, some of the newer tracks that have been meandering through the echoing corridors here at Dolores Delargo Towers...

Let us open with a very warm welcome for the return of Mr Will Young, who has decided to go all "upbeat" and electro with his new album Echoes, apparently. It has taken weeks for this to grow on me, but I have really taken to his new single Jealousy. (And the cute acrobat in the video helps, too...):

Will Young - Jealousy

To follow, something a bit funky. It's Shake Aletti (aka Steve Nicholls from Sheffield) with his infuriatingly catchy new single Inside Out:

Shake Aletti - Inside Out

This one rocks! The "voice" of Iio (they of the wondrous mega-classic Rapture from 2001) Nadia Ali - almost certainly the only Libyan artiste who has ever had hits in the US and UK - returns, with Starkillers and Alex Kenji in tow, with a new single Pressure:

Nadia Ali - Pressure (Alesso Radio Mix)

As any fule kno, we here at Dolores Delargo Towers are always overjoyed to discover some new trash-tastic wannabee-diva, preferably from somewhere exotic. Fitting the bill perfectly is the remarkable Milana, the newest protégée of Russia's equivalent of Simon Cowell, Maxim Fadeev, with the wonderful Love On My High Heels:

Milana - Love on my high heels

Let us finish with someone that I reckon might well "float the boat" of one or two of our esteemed friends (John-John and little Tony, are you there, dears?). It's the very naughty Matt Zarley with a hunk-tastic video for his coyly-titled WTF! [Thanks once more to Marc at Deep Dish for the introduction.]

Matt Zarley - WTF

Enjoy!
