ALLbum : Fitz & The Tantrums - More Than Just A Dream (2013)



An American 6-piece of musician called themselves, Fitz and The Tantrums. Namely probably because the main vocalist, Michael Fitzpatrick meanwhile the Tantrums means a sudden short period of angry or unreasonable behavior especially a child as I refer to Oxford dictionary. More Than Just A Dream is their second studio album that release in 2013 after the debut album, Pickin' Up The Pieces in 2010. Their sophomore album contains 12 song as you can see the playlist on the second picture above. There are several song that really lived up to my expectation. I highly recommended the song from the first until the sixth track then follow by the 8th track.

The main theme is all about love but some reach out to other perspective as well. For example, the fourth track, Spark includes the pilled-up of frustration that unleashed into full fiesta of fun. Taking the song into 80's rock n roll sound that catchy yet enjoyable to hear. A rebellion that spark the light of hopes. No wonder these track was selected as a soundtrack for EA Games FIFA 13.

The album compromise several genre such as neo-soul, jazz, rhythm and blues as well as the combination of modern electronic instrument. A manly voice from Michael Fitzpatrick accompany by Noelle Scaggs as a backing vocal delivers such a charismatic, energetic and versatile to each song that capture various mood of emotion and excitement. Furthermore, Michael as a leader of the band always bring his bright persona that lift-up the band entirely. You can see his coolness personality every single music video they made. He look younger and energetic but in fact his age over 40 years old now.

Conclusion, I would say these album is moderately good to hear. I rate this album 88 out of 100.

dr.pd. : Johny Comes Lately - Fumikna

Image
Disebabkan muzik video kumpulan indie tempatan ini selalu dimainkan di Astro Hitz saluran 705 , tercetusnya idea untuk saya memberi pandangan mengenai kumpulan ini. Saya tidak mengetahui maksud Fumikna itu sendiri malah tidak tahu serta mengkaji bait-bait lirik lagu tersebut secara lebih mendalam. Maknanya mungkin tersirat berdasarkan gaya vokal yang bersahaja dan ada kalanya nada sedikit marah. Kemungkinan besar liriknya berkaitan dengan kehidupan sosial dan keadaan sekeliling yang sentiasa berubah. Satu gabungan muzik yang mantap antara alternatif rock dan ska . Muzik videonya pula cukup ringkas dengan tema berwarna hitam. budi bicara adalah dinasihatkan

Ulasan Novel Jiwa Kacau

Novel Jiwa Kacau daripada penulis Zati Hanani dan diterbitkan oleh Lejen Press. Aku beli buku ni kat Kedai Buku 1Malaysia di UTC Alor Setar. Aku tak sangka, aku beli novel ni amat murah di Kedai Buku 1Malaysia berbanding MPH. Ia berharga RM 17 berbanding harga biasa iaitu RM 20. Mungkin depa bagi diskaun kot. Tapi, aku dapat jimat 3 Ringgit. Novel ni dah lama berada di pasaran. Tapi, aku beli novel ni masa ia masih 'fresh' lagi iaitu cetakan pertama, Januari 2015. Novel kedua yang berjaya aku habiskan membacanya selepas novel Bau Semangat Anak Muda. Aku tertarik nak beli dan baca novel ni disebabkan kisah 4 individu yang ingin menubuhkan sebuah band muzik. Lagipun, aku memang pencinta muzik terutamanya indie group band. Novel ini ditulis oleh penulis perempuan iaitu Zati Hanani. Jadi, aku nak tau macamana dia menceritakan kisah sebuah band itu bermula dan berkembang dari kacamata seorang perempuan. Khabarnya, novel Jiwa Kacau ni adalah novel pertama beliau yang berjaya diter

ALLbum : Passion Pit - Manners (2009)

Manners were the first Passion Pit debut album that consist eleven songs including Sleepyhead , the song from their first EP ( Extended Play ) called Chunk Of Change . Manners deliver atmospheric feeling where they creating an exciting or emotional mood in certain song combined with awesome poetry lyrics.  I've  seen a lot of positive feedback from professional critics about Manners album in the internet such as Pitchfork ; suggest that Manners is deceptively consistent beyond its singles where if you like one Passion Pit song, you’ll probably like them all . [ Well, it’s true and it’s happen to me. The first songs  I've  hear from these albums was Little Secrets then Moth’s Wings until the last song entitle Seaweed Song . Honestly, I admit that I really like all Passion Pit songs either from Manners album or their latest album, Gossamer even their first EP , Chunk Of Change ] However, Paste Magazine conclude that not every song is perfect but perfection is
