A selection of some of the newer chill-out tracks from The Killers, M.I.A., Lily Allen and other border-breaking artists with immense edge and musicality: Paloma Faith from the UK (sex= female; age= 24; style=edgy; hair=cooky; voice= fierce and raspy; The Next Hottest UK Diva= checked); Mika whose sophomore effort strengthens Israel's crop on the prolific-artists-tip in today's dance music (all the Freddie Mercury-comparisons are not without merit!).
Also thrown in the mix are a few male artists sparking sensation in the O.U.S.(Outside United States) - both aurally and visually! - like the 27-year old Belgian crooner Milow, whose songs defy genres and beats-per-minute; and the 32-year old Argentinian-born Swedish Jose Gonzalez who tags in folk, acoustic AND dance categories. With their respective tracks, You Don't Know, and Killing for Love, an illustration to the stretch of the dance genre style that is electronic downtempo is obvious. And along with Scottish-band Looper's fun cut titled Mondo '77, an attempt to describe the experimental and alternative nature of this musical style is showcased. These three tracks, quite admittedly, are not "fresh and new from astudnameddisco" - these were actually European chart-toppers from at least 5 years ago! Such is the forward-looking sound of chill-lounge-downtempo music. Dance music doesn't have to necessarily rate bpm's in the order of hundreds (or read as if the lyrics were written de-void of all sentiments!) in order to be regarded as someone's or everyone's dance music. That's what Burn List Jan 2010 tries to bring. Electronic Downtempo.
