MP3: Skatan - Top of the mountain
Absolut Noise called me out, so I guess it's only fair that I respond. Skatan is okay I guess, but I doubt I would have given her a 2nd thought without prompting. I don't like those little scoops she does with her voice and she's got to work harder to keep her affectations in check. Less is most certainly more in that department. The songs Swedesplease posted are my least favorite of the five from her myspace and the worst offenders of overdoing it. "Poisoned sky" is decent though: quiet and moody with a definite dramatic arc. And I have to agree with Aymeric that "Top of the mountain" is the best of the bunch, so that's the one I'm re-sharing today. A little swing does her a lot of good; it also better suits her singing style. But next big thing? No, sorry. I'm not that excited.
