So what will be cool in 2009? Who has made some interesting things & promises to be very creative & fresh throughout the coming months?... Hard to say, with the mix of styles today things are going in different directions.
The BBC has brought out a list of the artists they think might be making waves during 2009 and they make a huge bet on the new female electro pop stars... and in a whole new generation of laptop-wielding stars (mostly female), predominately in their early 20s.... They say these should replace the "old-fashioned" white male guitar bands that have dominated the charts in recent years... To be checked very closely...
A paper published in the Guardian went as far as to suggest that during 2009 the majority of labels would not be signing guitar bands and instead should turn their attentions to the more electronic-based synth pop sounds. The supposed trend shows the fruits of a new generation of technology-savvy kids who turned to the laptop as a creative output, instead of the guitar or the drums... and reviving synth sounds, nu-disco & pop from the seventies... See the full list over the BBC News website.
They suggest names like La Roux, Lady Ga Ga and Little Boots (pictured above) but others can be added such as Karin Dreijer Andersson (from The Knife, with her solo project), the already well-known scandinavian girls Sally Shapiro and Lykke Li, or others like Liela Moss (& her band The Duke Spirit) and even Lilly Allen. And let's not forget other males like Breakbot, Surkin, Yuksek, the italian group Crookers, the brits We have band, Late of the Pier, Pnau and of course, the greatest australian act Empire of the sun (check previous posts).
Find bellow a couple of suggestions of what might follow in 2009... N-joy!
