I'm an Artist Pusher: Sia

I just saw that Sia is featured on a Flo Rida song... WHAT?

Wild Ones - with Flo Rida


Sia usually has really great and quirky music videos to accompany her music, but I guess Flo Rida made this song too "poppy." But check out some of the videos of hers that I like:


Soon We'll Be Found



Buttons



You've Changed



and, of course:

Breathe Me



I swing from grapefruit trees everywhere I go

Swing Tree - Discovery




Everywhere I Go - Lissie


I first heard this song in Robert Roldan's solo on SYTYCD.

I'm an Artist Pusher: Kris Allen

I first mentioned Kris Allen in this post, where I mentioned some songs I liked from his first album. His new album is set to come out in late May or June. As a result, I've been seeing a lot of leaked songs from Kris Allen. I didn't realize he as popular enough to have this much activity, but hey, I'm not complaining. Here's two of the demos I like so far:

My Weakness




Forget About You



P.S. Oh, and apparently this is his new single:

Vision Of Love (Album Version)


Meh, I don't like it as much as the demos...

I'm an Artist Pusher: Jay Everett Band

The band released a new video today! If you don't remember me posting about Jay Everett Band, look back at my first post (it's my first and biggest post - beware). But the songs I linked to are:



Jay's Song


I'm loving it already! Great job guys!

I'm an Artist Pusher: Paolo Nutini

Everyone who knows of him probably knows him from his biggest song, New Shoes, but here are two songs from that same album that I also like.

These Streets



Jenny Don't Be Hasty (Music Video Here)

I'm an Artist Pusher: Hellogoodbye

I love Hellogoodbye! They are so whimsical and floaty, and sometimes creepy sounding. Makes for a great band in my book!

Betrayed By Bones (Album Version)


This track is from their Ukelele Recordings EP. I love to see how they can shine without all their synths and computer polish.


Stuck To You


I used to listen to this song all the time when going to and from swim practice. I like the creepy sounding melody and chords. My favorite part starts at 1:12, if you care to notice.


Some of their more popular songs include:
