QUOTE(Brer @ Mar 23 2023, 07:07 PM)  Triple J is an Australian radio station. I think they're typically quite alternative leaning? I shall check it out, and if i like what I hear, expect many Aussie bops from me in the next months..... |

For my next AQ, I'm going for a Retro song, that I've loved for many years now. Dusty... For me, the greatest voice in popular music - of all time. Dusty had a voice I could listen too all day. I first heard Dusty Springfield's voice on the 1987 duet with the Pet Shop Boys, a single I loved and bought as a teenager. I also loved the singles she released from her Reputation album, but it was not until 2011 when I started collecting Dusty's back catalogue, discovering gem after gem after gem. Including my entry for this round. Back in October 2022, I was on another Dusty Springfield binge, and discovered through liner notes in a Dusty collection that this song was actually a cover of a song originally recorded by Rita Jean Bodine. An amazing voice and artist, who only released two albums in 1974, and a stand alone single in 1976. Unfortunately, I discovered Rita's music has never been remastered or released on CD or streaming. Rita's energy on her recordings is immense, and on her more quiet moments, I am for some reason reminded of Tori Amos.
As for That's The Kind Of Love I've Got For You, I cannot choose between Dusty's and Rita's version - I love both so much. |

As some of the participants of BJSC know, the Prime Minister of LookyLion also participates in the PopJustice Song Contest. As it is against the LookyLion law to use a song in a contest more than once, here are some previous PJSC LookyLion (aka WoW73) entries, for inspiration!

For round 158, I selected a wonderful funk song from the 80's, by the legendary Teena Marie.
Teena Marie's career began in the late 70's, as a protege of Rick James, who also produced her debut album. Her second album was called Lady T, a nickname that has always stuck. That album includes her biggest UK hit, Behind The Groove. Her biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 was indeed lovergirl, taken from her 6th album Starchild, reaching no. 4. In the second half of the 90's, Teena dedicated her time to raising her daughter, though several of her songs were sampled during that time, most notably her song Ooo La La La in Fu-Gee-La by The Fugees. Teena re-emerged on the music scene in 2004 with a new album, and two more were released before her death in 2010. In 2004, while sleeping in a hotel room, a large picture frame fell and struck her on the head. The blow caused a serious concussion that resulted in momentary seizures for the rest of her life; she had major seizure a few weeks before her death, which may have caused it, it seems. Such a sad story. Teena was such a talented songwriter, musician, singer and performer. I hope this round will expose more listeners to her back catalogue. |

For round 159, another Dutch artist. Stefanie Joosten is originally from the south of the country, Limburg. Currently living in Japan, Stefanie is a model, actress and singer - and one of the characters in a Metal Gear game was based on her looks and she also provides the voice of that character. In 2022 she released her debut single and album, and a new single was just released, which features THE Giorgio Moroder.

2023 was a year with mixed results for me, with only one Top 10 (but with a win) and two entries not qualifying. Also - my Retro entries usually do not do well, but that will not stop me from sending a Retro song in 2024 every now and then.
My last entry of 2023 for round 160 luckily qualified, and though I had hoped it would do better, I am glad some of the voters enjoyed it! |

For round 161, LookyLion is going a bit more dancey/clubby with My Friend feat. Darla Jade. My Friend is a dance/house/techno production duo from London, who have been releasing tracks since 2018. On this recent release, the duo joined forces with Darla Jade - an electro-pop artist, who also has released several tracks over the past few years, both solo and in collaboration with others acts.
