First, this. Cool break up song. There’s a cover in which the dude who sings the chorus has a cooler voice than his but overall I like this guy. If you can get over his nipple in the beginning of the video it’s a pretty cool video as well.
Then, this. She’s a 21-year-old from New Zealand. She’s got a very interesting voice, but this was the only song that I enjoyed. Gotta love those lyrics. It’s been a long time since I heard a song in which the lyrics were so… lyrical.

Wow… I dug both tracks, but I really liked the Gotye one. Thanks for sharing!
Got a couple tracks to give back, with the genre following on similar vein:
Bedouin Soundclash feat. Cœur de pirate “Brutal Hearts”
Fitz and the Tantrums “Dear Mr. President”

Whoops, wrong link. This is “Dear Mr. President”. The other was “Moneygrabber”, also a great song by Fitz.

I thought I blogged this but here’s another retro themed performer. Very simplistic song but I find it haunting.
I forget how to embed YouTube videos in comments. lol

I’ve heard of Lana Del Rey, but haven’t heard any of her songs. That was awesome… thanks for the intro!
I do love that haunting sound paired with breathy vocals. Reminds me of Sia, Poe, Lykke Li, and others that I can’t put my finger on.
As for embedding videos, I don’t know how I did it! I’m pretty sure I just dropped a typical URL in there.
Testing…

Weird! I can’t do it. lol

Haha, I think I figured it out. Are you using youtu.be links? Try using the full URL instead of the short version (ie: http:// www. youtube. com/watch?v=o3lBF2h-Pl0)
That should do it… I hope!
