Sia, Ximena, and Oh Land put the Wonder in Ballroom

This week, Australia’s queen of post-trip hop is coming to town, and she’s bringing Mexican cherub Ximena Sarinana and Danish siren Oh Land with her. Can you imagine anything better on a Tuesday night?

There’s a solid reason why Adelaide born  Sia is headlining. She’s collaborated with Beck, Christina Aguilera, provided vocals for Zero 7 on their first three albums, and contributed backing vocals on “Carol Brown” and “You Don’t Have to Be a Prostitute” for Flight of the Concords’ second album, I Told You I Was Freaky. (about the life of the former First Lady of the Philippines). In addition, Sia has been signed to such labels as Dance Pool, Go! Beat Records, Astralwerks, Hear/StarCon, and Monkey Puzzle. Now that’s enough to make anyone stand up and pay attention.

Listen to a sampling of Sia, especially on the stand out “Clap Your Hands”:

” and gave it four stars.

And then there is Oh Land , who was born Nanna Øland Fabricius in Copenhagen, Denmark to an organist father and an opera singer mother. Her self-titled second album, distributed in the US by Epic Record this past March, is a brilliant experiment in poppy, danceable music accompanied by a voice so subtly cute that it makes a grown woman want to go out and buy a pink lace nighty and dance under the twinkling stars. Oh Land is a necessary listen to lovers of Emiliana Torrini, Mirah, Goldfrapp, and the like.

Watch “White Nights” below to see for yourself plus see some photos from last time she was in town , sharing the Roseland Peter’s Room stage with Francis and the Lights during the Soul’d Out Music Festival.

Sia, Ximena, and Oh Land put the Wonder in Ballroom

Think of Shakira pre-Wyclef Jean and “Hips Don't Lie,” and you won't be far off. Those of you new to Ximena, here's a quick run down: After fronting a successful indie band in her native Mexico, Ximena released her Spanish-language solo debut Mediocre




A Funny Music World » Shakira Feat. Pitbull – Rabiosa [Official Video]

There are TWO parts to this review. First, we’ll deal with the actual item–ORAL FIXATION VOLUMES 1 & 2 w/BONUS DVD. As a set, it’s the best of both world’s. You get the excellent FIVE STAR Fijacion Oral, Vol. 1 with the excellent “classic” Shakira style tracks NO and DIA ESPECIAL, plus the quirky LA TORTURA duet. You also get the “improved” ORAL FIXATION, Volume 2, with the added HIPS DON’T LIE, bringing an otherwise so-so THREE STAR CD up to FOUR STARS. Finally, you get the DVD BONUS which includes FIVE GREAT VIDEOS and three MTV LIVE performances. FIVE STARS for the video disc. So, do the math 5+4+5/3=close enough to FIVE STARS to give the whole package a FIVE STAR RATING!

Now for part two of this review. Let’s see, I NOW have THREE COPIES OF F.O. Vol 1 and TWO copies of O.F. Vol 2! Thankfully, I DIDN’T buy the “improved” O.F. Vol 2 w/Hips Don’t Lie as a stand alone CD or else I’d have THREE OF EACH! UGH! Don’t get me wrong. I REALLY LIKE Shakira. There’s nothing else quite like her. Musically, she’s UNIQUE. NOBODY will ever be able to duplicate her vocal antics or even come close. She’s a once in all eternity singer! And, obviously, I eagerly await and buy up her material, but, quite frankly, I’m starting to feel like I’m being played! At what point do we start thinking that her label is milking our wallets for all we’re worth??? I wasn’t TOO annoyed at buying Laundry Service and Laundry Service–Washed and Dried or even buying F.O. Vol 1 for the car and the Dualdisc for at home use, but really, it’s starting to get just a bit ridiculous, don’t you think??? I’m glad I dragged my feet about getting O.F. Vol. 2 w/Hips Don’t Lie and that this SET w/bonus DVD came out before I sank another ten or fifteen bucks in yet ANOTHER version of this same basic package!
