The Music Elitist

Fellow blogger savetheking sent this video my way today. Really great sounding blend of funk, soul, rock and blues from the village of Noid, England.

This really shouldn’t be shocking news to anyone, but Amy Winehouse’s record label has reportedly rejected the new songs she wrote during her 3-month vacation in St. Lucia.

A source said: “Amy was very productive during her stay in St. Lucia. She wrote a lot of songs, but the majority of them just aren’t hitting the mark. She seems to have ditched her trademark vintage soul sound and is now heavily influenced by reggae. Her bosses don’t think it’s a wise move to change her style so sharply and have told her that.”

The source added to Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “It is crucial Amy’s return is handled properly. If she puts out a record that is in any way half-baked, that could severely damage her long-term prospects, so everyone’s focus at the minute is getting it right, even if that means telling Amy some things she probably won’t want to hear.”

I like how this source described the attempt as “half-baked.” Anything Amy has written in the last year or so couldn’t really be anything BUT half-baked in my opinion. In fact, I’d be willing to bet she doesn’t even remember writing most of those songs.
