Listen to The Sign
I have returned! Time to bring it back with some classics. To be honest, my favourite song by Ace of Base is Beautiful Life, which isn't on this album. However, I felt that since this was their best selling album and featured The Sign, as well as All That She Wants - I'd listen to this album instead. After listening to the popular singles, the rest of the album felt quite repetitive. I can see how I would've loved this album way back when (fifteen years ago?), but now it just doesn't cut it. Sometimes it felt like the background music was identical across a couple of tracks. The album also featured some remixes at the end, but I didn't particularly care for any of them. I'll still continue to appreciate their singles.

Galore by Dragonette
Listen to I Get Around
I came across Dragonette's I Get Around from an ipod commercial. The 10 second snippet made me curious, so I decided to check out the album Galore. Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Dragonette is yet another pop group I've fallen in love with. I don't know if it is fair to consider them pop considering the band has a bassist, guitarist and drummer. I guess there is more of an emphasis on synthesizers and such to consider Dragonette as electrorock. If you enjoyed I Get Around, I'm sure you'll like all the other songs on Galore like I did.

The American Jewels by Marina and the Diamonds
Listen to Are You Satisfied
Do you like La Roux? How about Little Boots? (If you haven't heard of either of these artists, check out the songs Tigerlily by La Roux and Ghosts by Little Boots). Marina and the Diamonds was recommended to me because I like both of those artists and I was pleasantly surprised with the number of songs I enjoyed on The American Jewels. The album starts off with Are You Satisfied, a very catchy song that really shows off the range of Marina's voice, think of it as a preview of what's to come. I can't help but think of 80's pop when I listen to this album and I love 80's pop. Fans of La Roux, Little Boots and maybe Lady Gaga (not too familiar with her stuff) should give this album a listen for it is worth every penny.
