Well hi, and yes, I'm finally back :D
So, I'm going to start posting more and more so make sure you check out the blog often :D
I absolutely adore music, and I'm always scanning the charts and the radio for any songs that I will fall in love with. I like slow songs, indie and pop, and occasionaly a little rock, so if your tastes are similar you will absolutely the weekly Music Update. They're not necessarily new songs, but they're simply the ones I recently found out about and believe are worth mentioning. Here are my top 5 picks of the week:
1. Lenka "I'm really in my element..."
Her sinuous vocals drape around her lyrics with the ease of a child hanging onto its mother’s legs…or of a serpent wrapping itself around the neck of its prey. Whether channeling our long-repressed terrors (“Trouble Is A Friend”) or long-lost innocence (“We Will Not Grow Old”), her music evokes primal emotions, unblemished by pretense or cynicism – and unashamed of cracking a smile occasionally. An amazing singer, my favourite songs of hers are "The Show" and "Knock Knock". Make sure you check out her album, which is self-titled "Lenka". It's absolutely worth it.

2. Mika and his new album "The Boy Who Knew Too Much"
Mika's swooping, over the top arrangements and arch delivery make for contagiously merry pop music that gets stuck in your head, making you end up singing it all the time. His music is so happy and cheerful, and I fell in love with the album immediately. So far, my two favourite songs are, "We Are Golden", which is constantly blasting the speakers of my TV and radion and "Rain" which has a very cool rhythm to it. Check it out. :D His official music site is http://www.mikasounds.com/
3. A Fine Frenzy with her new album "Bomb In A Birdcage"
I have been a fine of A Fine Frenzy's music, and I've posted about her in the past. Now, with her release of her new album "Bomb In A Birdcage", I was extremely excited when I heard the news. Just like her first debut album, "One Cell In The Sea", the new album is also very sweet and calm, with musical melodies which are delicate and intricate. My favourite songs from the album are "Blow Away" and "Bird of the Summer", although I generally like all her music. My all time favourites are "Almost Lover" and "Near To You".

4. KT Tunstall
KT Tunstall's sound definitely flashes back to the 1990s-- the massed acoustic guitars, the carefully controlled catches in the voice, the smooth beats. But the way she puts a song together is markedly different from the other singers she resembles. I believe her music is unique, so as her voice; she's a brilliant singer. My favourite songs by her are "Suddenly I See", "Hold On" and "Black Horse& The Cherry Tree". Her albums are "Eye to the Telscope" and Drastic Fantastic". Her official site is http://www.kttunstall.com/ 5. Dashboard Confessional
The band was originally set up by Chris Carrabba, who is the lead vocalist of the band. Gorgeous, fully formed ballads like "Stolen" and "So Long, So Long" are long on elegant melodies, meticulous, swooning harmonies and wistful remembrances of tiny moments with ex-lovers and the band succeeds because Carrabba has found music as intense and bittersweet as his deep, deep feelings. My ultimate favourite song of theirs everr is "Stolen" and you'll constantly find me humming it. :D Check out their most popular albums, "A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar", "Dusk and Summer", "The Places you have Come to Fear the Most" and "The Shade of Poison Trees."
