Siobhan Donaghy - Ghosts

[VoR]

What exactly IS leftfield? I wouldn't call her LEFTFIELD in my opinion. Ghosts was a cracking POP album - surely there is nothing leftfield about it?!

It wasn't a chart album though. There was nothing on it that had any relevance to the pop scene of 2007. I don't mean that as an insult, btw.

 

[POP!]

I've been having a spontaneous revival of this album in the past few days that seems to come out of thin air, "So You Say" really is one of the most gorgeous and classiest pieces of pop music in the last decade, love it.

[Krustmas]

It was a good project though I like the Carl Craig remix of "don't give up" and the b-side "don't take me back" the best.

i'm glad the general consensus seems to be make it right is the weakest link

Contains traces of Siobhan

 

[Funky]

Same!

[Krustmas]

It's bizarre that legendary Carl Craig remixed Siobhan - I guess he must have liked the song.

If there was ever a time to bring out a Jark '11/10' rate, it'd be for this.

Phenomenal.

4. Sometimes 09
5. 12 Bar Acid Blues 09

Givin' In 11
Don't Take Me Back 11
Man On A Mission 08
Re-Offend 09
Crime Of Passion 11

As you can see, clearly my favorites are Givin' In, Don't Take Me Back and Crime Of Passion. I have no idea why didn't any of them make the album.

By the way if anybody could help me out with Re-Offend in good mp3 quality (at least 192kbps), cuz that's the only track that I can't find anywhere... I would be really grateful.

Welcome. What are your favourite artists in general? Are you an Eurovision loon?

 

[jivafox]

ooh i had this on the other day and it is just AURAL GOLD.

 

[jRegi]

In general Aaliyah is my all-time favorite, and then Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Mariah Carey, Siobhan of course , Katie Melua, Ellie Goulding, Kelly Clarkson, Lady GaGa, Beyoncé... etc etc. I also really love the Backstreet Boys, Madonna's older songs, Kate Bush etc. Any good pop / alternative pop / electropop does it, but as you can see I prefer female voices. I'm always open to new stuff.
Besides I'm really into country music, so I'm in love with Lady Antebellum, Gloriana, The Band Perry, Dixie Chicks, LeAnn Rimes, Faith Hill etc.

I didn't really care for Eurovision, though I'm from Hungary... But I kinda knew that we wouldn't have a chance...

 

[VoR]

Sounds like you'll fit right in jRegi.

Are you still living in Hungary? I have LOTS of questions about Wolf Kati

 

[jRegi]

Yepp, I live here. :P

And thank you for the welcoming words, guys

 

[dUb]

This absolute masterpiece is 10 years old today

(NOT NOW SHEENA)

 

[OutSynk]

This album was quite good but "Revolution in Me" is one of my favorite pop albums ever and this either couldn't live up to the EMOTIONAL CONNECTION I have with RIM or just wasn't as good.

 

[OutSynk]

The second half of this album has got some MAX tracks though.

 

[GNL]

I always thought Revolution in Me was pretty dull, but I love Ghosts. It's so annoying that she made a damn near perfect album and then buggered off to be a receptionist or something.

 

[Sheena]

I'm due a bi-annual spin in an attempt to see what the fuss is about. It's not even like I dislike the girl.

I did retry with OK Computer a couple of weeks back and still NOTHING...

 

[OutSynk]

I have a similar thing where I keep going back to Kesha's "Warrior" from time to time even though I dislike her voice and her "rapping" and my verdict on the album never changes. How do I end this loop of hell? I think I know: NEED to remember that not everything that has Max Martin's name on it is gold.

Warrior was a pretty shitty album though. Animal and the re-release were peak K€$£a.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Still MAGNIFICENT after all these years

As is Revolution In Me, NATURALLY

 

[Marilyn]

10th anniversary BOX SET please

 

[Sheena]

What would they add to a box set? Yet more songs that JUST WEREN'T GOOD ENOUGH?

 

[Marilyn]

I'm thinking about 6 CDs/2 DVDs, acoustic sessions, new remixes, footage from the anniversary arena tour, demos unearthed from Siobhan's groundbreaking studio sessions, a tribute to the album from the stars of today, etc.

 

[Sheena]

Never has FAILURE and MEDIOCRITY been SO WELL THOUGHT OF...
