I tend to listed to the Voice episodes on YouTube, my favorites are Australia and Germany, they seem to have the most unusual acts and rare talents. In any case, I have heard Throat Singing before, some of it good, some of it well…
This guy really does a good job of setting the mood.
A really old one for a change for no particular reason… Steve Martin at his goofiest
Courtney’s newest one. It’s original, although the song name of course isn’t – there’s a long list of songs called “Breakable”. Which interestingly enough is one of the few things that can’t be copyrighted. The lyrics of course are, the song title can’t be.
In any case, I think she’s doing just fine, and has come a long way from the gawky kid on the Talent shows 😉
That’s a baritone sax. I played one of those in college. Those things are freaking heavy. I don’t know how he manages to do this.
You knew he was going to be here sooner or later. And probably not the last time either 😉
Havet is a musical duo composed of Mimi Vogler (b. 2003) and Josy Vogler (b. 2005), a pair of German-Swedish sisters from Bavaria.
Mimi and Josy grew up surrounded by music, raised by singer and multi-instrumentalist parents. The sisters began playing in bands with friends as young teenagers and went on to win the German TV competition The Voice Kids in 2019.
Although working as a duo, each sister draws from unique influences across the pop, R&B, and indie musical traditions. Mimi describes her approach to music as one grounded in the folk and singer-songwriter genres; she begins with lyrics, then layers guitar and piano overtop. Meanwhile, Josy describes herself largely as a producer, beginning always with a beat, then adding lyrics on top of that. With the creation of Havet, the two artists are merging their distinct approaches and realizing a new sound that embraces all of music’s diverse elements.
Looping is something new. If I was in my 20’s today you can bet I would have one of these things to play with. Sam Perry is a genius at it, there are a few others in his category, I’ll post a few of them over time, but this guy simply has it down to a science.
Every noise you hear he makes with his voice, the machine adds effects and distortions to it. Essentially he is the whole band. In my view it’s absolutely stunning stuff, the industry has progressed so far from the 1970’s and anybody who thinks great music isn’t being created these days is simply listening to the wrong things.
Courtney made the rounds of the talent shows when she was 13. She did this cover three years ago at the age of 15, she is 18 as of 2023. COVID put a lot of talented singers on hold regrettably, but if you like Rock I’d keep an eye on this one.
Really really good blues – and it’s contemporary. Who says they aren’t making good music these days?
