Ernesto - Swedish soul/dance
I am part of a CD trading group and someone sent me some of Ernesto's new songs as a bonus and I completely dig it. I had never heard of him before this, but I'm lovin' it. My favorite tracks are 'Closer' and 'Wake Up' and unfortunately that one is not on his MY SPACE, but the other one I like a lot 'Sick N Tired' is on there.
He has this smoothness about his voice. Reminds me a bit of Elliot Yamin (from American Idol) and Jamie Lidell. The piano playing is nice and the ballads are okay, but it's the dance tracks and soul that caught me.
His MySpace is here: http://www.myspace.com/jonatanbackelie
If you scroll down, you'll see a media player with more songs on it, so stop the MY Space one from playing and try some songs on that one.
Those into dance/soul try the 'Put It On Me Osulande' on the MySpace player or go to the bigger media outlet below that and listen to #15 - Tryin'.
You can also listen to a good song called 'Held' here: http://www.myspace.com/findtheform
His album 'Find the Form' is supposed to be released worldwide on May 16th. I really dig the whole album and his sound. he has an interesting story and stays true to his faith - that's dope to see in music today.
You can read his bio and such here - also listen to different tracks from the album: http://www.vaaty.com/
I want to hear more from him...and figured some of you might dig him as well...or maybe not

Thank you sooo much Deesha for telling about this. Cause I'd never heard about this guy and he's good!! I think the song "Held" is very nice!  _________________ Sarah |

No problem. 'Held' is nice too. I really dig 'Closer' and 'Wake Up To Find'.
I'd love to see him live, but I think an American mini tour is way, way, way down the road, although his last album was apparantly released here - although I heard some stuff and didn't dig it (http://www.giantstep.net/artists/692)
Happy you enjoyed it  _________________ www.dee34.wordpress.com |
