We have the uber brit-pop synth-heavy Frankmusik (ft. Computer Club). Vincent Frank is a part of the new rush of electro boys: a horde of synth-pop lead male vocalists headed by Frank, and followed by the likes of Dan Black, Just Jack, Blake Lewis, and Simon Curtis. I've become a huge fan of Frankmusik because he has only released one full-length album state-side, and has already caught my ear on 5 tracks I deem quality. This is a rarity for any act over a series of albums for me, but Vincent Frank did it quite quickly. Check him out!
Next, we have Mika's new track from the Kick Ass soundtrack. Titled the same, Mika teamed with RedOne [who is responsible for Lady Gaga's production... you know, when you thought she was saying 'Red Wine' in Just Dance, then you felt like a retard when you realized it was an ol' school shout out to those who made her famous... like right now]. This track is quite decent, if you can handle Mika's shrieky vocals in the beginning; something I had trouble stomaching, but to which grew accustomed.
Lastly we have a BRAND NEW track called Your Hands (Together) from The New Pornographers (one of the best bands you'll see live) that reminds you that acts can have a traditional singer/songwriter indie rock sound and still sound like genuine pop. It took me a while to come around to them, but TNP finally got me with a track called Sing Me Spanish Techno, and this track has been stuck in my head all week, thanks to the infectious Neko Case vocals. This fantastic song, from the upcoming LP Together (due out May 4th), will do the same to you- I promise.
