Make love with the lights on baby, tell me what you see
Clear the bed to lie on darlin', make a mess of me
The Pierces are singer-songwriters sisters Allison and Catherine based in New York City. Former ballerinas turned songstresses, they released their self-titled debut in 2000 with Epic but was met with lukewarm reception. 0pening a week’s worth of shows for Albert Hammond Jr. in November 2006 greeted the girls with much more enthusiastic reception.

With a psychedelic indie and folk sound, the sisters are compared over the years to Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Shawn Colvin, the Indigo Girls and Sheryl Crow. When asked how they would want others to describe their music, the girls responded, "like a fever induced, gypsy dream that you have after drinking too much red wine while listening to a cabaret singer in a southern speakeasy that is run by witches".

"Boring" sounds like a good James Bond theme song.

This is the kind of songs you listen everytime you plan on being oblivious to the surroundings while attempting to take on a cool hermit poise. LOL. Check her out. +/- Gin Wigmore Gin Wigmore is a distinctive singer/songwriter, whose sound is driven by a startling voice; her delivery succinctly described by a critic as ‘whiskey and dry’ and whose self-penned songs provide a refreshing new take on life as a ’20-something’ and yet relate across the generations.

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. +/- The Script 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.
