Recent artist i have been listening to

so over the last few years i have been listening to a lot of metal and hip hop, and although i am a massive fan of both genres i am now at the point of wanting to explores new music and new genres.

I decided to buy some records of bands which have been getting a lot of publicity and one artist who i have been looking at was the return of GIL SCOTT HERON. GIL HAS SPENT MOST OF THE LAST TEN YEARS IN PRISON FOR SEVERAL CONVICTIONS, THE FIRST ONE WAS PROCESSION OF COCAINE AND THE SECOND WAS VIOLATING THE PLEA DEAL ON A DRUG POSSESSION CHARGE BY LEAVING A DRUG REHABILITATION CLINNC. GILLS WROTE MOST OF HIS NEW ALBUM IN PRISON AND THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT HIS VOICE WHICH I REALLY LIKE. I RECOMMEND THIS ALBUM TO ANYONE WHO IS A GENUINE MUSIC LOVER.

one album i loved last year was jonsi and alex album,and if you are looking for a really nice chilled album then you should definitely check out riceboy sleeps. it is probably one the best albums to come out last year, in my opinion. Jonsi new album ‘go’ is an album which will grow on me. I was instantly attached to ‘riceboy sleeps’, but ‘go’ is an album which i think will be a top 20 album of the year. i really think he is a true talent and can’t believe i wasn't aware of ‘sigur ros’ and will be checking them out very soon.

Another band which i have only recently checked out is stone temple pilot, and i have always been aware of this band but never really had any desire to check them out. when scot departed stp, and joined forces with slash, duff, and matt sorum to form velevt revolver i instantly went out and bought their first album as i am a huge fan of slash. to me he is one of the geatest guitar players of all time. it would really matter to me who he collaborates with as i love listening to his immense guitar riffs. Anyways back to stp, so i get there album ‘four’ andi am not sure about them and how they have sold over 15 million records. i may need to listen to it a few more times.

I have recently bought MGMT debut album and the first track is a track i always heard on the radio but never knew who it was. I really enjoy listening to the first track while driving. The album overall reminds me of the Beatles / the faming lips.
