If that's the 2015 version what do we call this one?  2015 2.0?

Re: OT: The Years' Best Songs - BostonCard - 06-15-2015

We call this one the 2014 version of the thread.  Check out the timestamp on the OP:

To save you the trouble of going to the original post, I will reproduce the relevant portion here.  Hulk's first recommendation:

Quote:Open, Rhye 
https://play.spotify.com/album/6b1HPtDuYioXwmw5xLLFQ9
The new Sade is a cellist from Canada backed by an instrumentalist from Denmark.  For months, no one knew who was making these songs.  When the curtain was opened, everyone was surprised.  You will be, too.

My observation:

Quote:Apropos nothing, and reviving a long burried thread... Open by Rhye is playing in the coffee shop I'm in.  I could tie it together with another long running thread by noting that it is a hipster third wave coffee shop in San Francisco.

And it is Ethiopian, not Equadorian coffee.

Funny enough, I am at a coffee shop, and guess what is playing... again.  Open by Rhye.  And every time I hear the song, I think of the Cardboard.

Thanks again, Hulk.

Another great summer anthem.  He’s not from rural Georgia?  Well no, the guy who created it is from Sweden and the vocalist is the American soul singer Aloe Blacc, a 2001 U$C graduate from Laguna Hills, California.  He’s guy worth supporting, too, as he is active in immigrant causes and malaria education.  Love his voice.

Avicii died at age 28. RIP.

Thanks Boston Card.  You've quite a memory.

Horrible news.  28 years old.

Back to the rest of the our planet and down to New Zealand, and a remarkable 17 year-old singer Ella Maria Lane Yelch-O’Connor.  The stage name reflects her fascination with royalty and her fear that “Lord” would sound too masculine.  Not surprising given that fascination, her big hit is “Royals” but “Ribs” is a favorite.  She loves Raymond Carver, Sylvia Plath, Walt Whitman and poetry, as does her father--the prize-winning New Zealand poet Sonja Yelich.   A prodigy, she signed her first recording contract months after turning 13.  A remarkable girl whatever your taste, but she may be too precious and ethereal to last.

Here's her follow-up, wings.

Agree with Hulk, a remarkable girl.  The look on the host at the end was priceless.

More Lorde... in her country's native language (te reo Maori)

Here's the story of how the mini-album of five songs came to be, and how she collaborated with a well-known Maori artist to create it:

Today I learned that the singer in Rhys is a dude.  Coulda fooled me.
