Song Yia introduced this track to me and it is by a K-Pop band called Raina. I am now addicted to it. There is a Full English version of this song as well.
The band consists of 8 members with one Thai and one Chinese.
It is rare cases that a cover song would be better than the original one but this track gave 50 Cent and Justin Timberlake’s collaboration a new life. It top the charts in Belgium and Netherlands with it still being around.
Milow is a Belgian based singer and song writer with his fair share of accomplishments. I wish him much success in breaking the heavily American and British dominated industry.
A track from December 2008 before I return to Malaysia for Chinese New Year. Reminds me a bit of Franz Ferdinand. They were sort of MTV’s Spotlight artist and their tracks were played on a continous cycle. Their official website is at http://www.mandodiao.com
A bit of details of the band courtesy of Wikipedia.com:
“Mando Diao is a garage rock band from Borlänge, Sweden. The band got their breakthrough with the release of the album Hurricane Bar. The song God Knows was featured in FIFA 06. Their main fan base is in Sweden, Germany, and Japan although their influence has recently spread to Western Europe, most noticeably the UK.”
This is the tune that I am hooked on to for the moment. It is from the ex-member of Mis-Teeq (So.. So.. So.. Scandalous) and the champion of UK’s Strictly Come Dancing in 2007.
This is her first solo UK top 10 and hope her debut UK album will have much success.
That’s all for now and hopes it gives a good start to your week.
