Only Yelle can undertake a Katy Perry track, turn it into an awesome euphony and still maintain that cool flair. This track is just oozing with Yelle’s playfulness.

Musiq Soulchild
Musiq Soulchild, a soulstar bred and cultured mostly in Philadelphia is set to realease his new album this 9th of December entitled, “On My Radio”. He claims claims he had developed a sound by fusing together the essence of “Soul Music” with “Funk” rules and “Hip Hop” swagger. On my opinion, the preceding statement evidently sums up his unique artistry.+/-

I never knew running a blog while trying to have a life was this difficult. Haha. School has started again and Id sprung back to my tedious sked. The several DMCAs takedown notices and the crashing of my links were not helpful either. I dont understand why they remove posts which were sent via mails by the artists themselves. Way to go on dissecting my creative streak google. Really, screw you google. +/-
Meanwhile, about the latter, I wont promise anymore to put the links infinitely on Metaphor. If you want to have mp3s of some artist on this blog, just leave a comment or send an email and Ill send it on your way pronto as soon as I have nothing on my hands.
I started this blog knowing absolutely nothing about blogging. Fortunately, I picked helpful advices on the way. To whoever you are who had the patience to read this, Metaphor is not dead. I cant promise you anything from this point, all I know is that, Ill visit Metaphor even if this isn’t my blog. Thanks and peace.
Some current guilty pleasures to keep me afloat:
We Are Your Friends(Reprise)- Justice
How to See the Sun Rise– Ben Sollee
Joy Ride- The Killers
Bad Days- Kanye West
Butterfly- Jason Mraz
Jailer- Asa
Circus- Britney Spears
Prospekt’s March/Poppyfields- Coldplay
Keep in Mind- Little Joy
P.S. With all those crazy leaks while Im gone, exclusive streams of albums keep everyone sane (Ok, maybe not that exclusive). Folks, just buy the album if you really like an artist, it makes all happy.
Dedication 3, Your Fu*king Melting Pote 2, Buffet Libre & Audio Racquet
This post is rather heavy so fly away and look sharp.
I have been sifting my mails and found out lots of monster mixtapes from DJs and artists. Others have been rotting in my mail all the time and some are newly sent.
I have chosen four mixtapes to share to you- Lil Wayne‘s Dedication 3, Leam or Rosebud‘s Your Fucking Melting Pote, Buffet Libre‘s Cover Projects and George O’Connor‘s Audio Racquet. It was a blast listening to these tunes, everything’s hard-thumping and will slap you in the face.
This post is my gratitude for all the support you folks been giving my little blog. Thanks everyone and peace. I hope your eardrums explode after hearing these tunes. Haha.
Listening to a mixtape is a process so download the whole thing.

Nellie Mckay
Here’s another top-notch artist to make your mind go berserk. Nellie Mckay’s flair reminds me of The Dresden Dolls melding to the likes of Regina Spektor and her song, ‘David’ captivated me upon hearing the first note.+/-
Nellie McKay (born Nell Marie McKay on 13 April 1982) is an English-born American singer-songwriter, actress, and former stand-up comedian, noted for her critically acclaimed debut album Get Away from Me and for her Broadway debut in The Threepenny Opera (2006), for which she won a Theatre World Award.

Bluebird
Angie May is an independent artist with no EP yet released. Her song ‘Bluebird’ was recorded at Crouch Hill studios in London in April ’08, and will be featured in her upcoming EP. I wrote it walkin the streets of London one summer afternoon (even though there are no Bluebirds in London!) just thinking about how great it must be to escape the city on a hot day.
I LOVE YELLE
I LOVE YELLE.+/-
In case you don’t know, my first post was “Je Veux Te Voir”.
I heard it a while ago and all the craziness emerged again.
Don’t mind this jabbering, just another random post to complete your day.
And yes, I get what she’s singing about.

The Script
I picked yesterday The Script debut album which was made available this 8th of November. The Script, an Irish trio band describes their sound as a whole new brand of Celtic Soul, blending hip hop lyrical flow with pop melodiousness, state-of-the-art R’n’B production with anthemic rock dynamics, classic song construction with gritty contemporary narratives.+/-
It’s got all the emotion and passion you would expect from across the Irish sea, but it is glittering in its modernity, universal in its singalong addictiveness and global in its syncopation, music for the feet, heart and head. Think U2 versus Timbaland, Van Morrison remixed by Teddy Riley.
Cos if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me,
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I can be,
Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet,
And you’d see me waiting for you on the corner of the street.

Metaphor

Moneyright
Special
This track is a collaboration between Soulchild and India.Arie and is said to be Arie’s single for her album, “Testimony Vol. 2. Love and Politics”. This one’s riveting smooth with Soulchild included in it. Others preferred her earlier works but this ones alright with me. The lyrics also is squeamish and over-the-top but I like it.
