June 10, 20187 yr Author B J S C ♡ P R I D E Arca - Desafío PwXOgzmTbVU Pride month is here and Jadakissnia are ready to celebrate! The brothel is all kitted out in rainbow flags and we have a brand new entry to add to our repertoire, for the relevant 'BJSC Pride' spinoff. This is 'Desafío' by Arca (taken from his 2017 critically acclaimed eponymous album), which is adored by the Jadakissnian people, so we thought it would be perfect to represent us on this occasion. It unfortunately got vetoed from the main contest in the past so we're glad that it's getting its moment in the sun now as it's too good! Homosexual Venezuelan artist Arca provides some wonderful Spanish vocals (best language ever etc.) here, which means that we are just one of four countries to represent the #foreignbloc in this spinoff! These vox in question are backed up by haunting electronic beats which just makes it the perfect package. As ever with him, this is a dramatic and memorable Arca video for sure, with him being dragged across the floor in bold gender-bending attire. We hope that you guys love this as much as we do! You can find Arca in slot 22 of the spinoff.
June 10, 20187 yr Author Oh I actually didn't know that! :o surprised that no-one sent her then. Well... I guess I was close enough with the guy that produced some of her stuff :lol:
June 10, 20187 yr Author :'( one of these days you'll get 'LMK' x (tbh this is one of my favourite discoveries of the past few years (forever grateful, leww <3) so I'm 100% happy with this entry)
June 19, 20187 yr Author B J S C ♡ P R I D E // R E S U L T S Arca - Desafío Tonight we found out our fate in the BJSC 'Pride' spinoff, hosted by Taahino. We can reveal that our entry 'Desafío' by Arca finished in 9th place with 164 points! We stated at the start of the evening that we hoped to sneak into the top 10 and we did exactly that, right at the end as well! We are over the moon that this beautiful Spanish entry saw success in the spinoff. This marks our 8th spinoff top 10 to date (when excluding BJ10 and Andra Chansen) following Lasgo, SOLDOUT, Unison, Glasvegas, Tame Impala, BPM15Q and VIAN! Speaking of VIAN, this is the second time that we have finished 9th in a spinoff after VIAN's 'Gå Der Vinden Blåser' in Schlagerfest. Arca received no sets of top points but instead a whopping five sets of 15! Thanks to Aeroche, Deandria, Espen, FARC and Utopia for those! <3 Hushkanukia were crowned the winners with Shura's 'What's It Gonna Be'?, a song we were tipping for the win and also a winner we can get behind, as we awarded it 6 points! Congrats to them. Finishing close behind in 2nd was Jupiterdonia's brilliant entry 'Tongue' by MNEK, an infectious song that we awarded 13 points to! Our 15 pointer, fellow #foreignbloc entry 'Uyang'khumbula' by Faka that was sent by Espen, faced more of a disappointing finish as it came 25th. It deserved like 24 places higher tbh. We had the honour of finishing just ahead of our 18 pointer 'Mary' by Scissor Sisters however, so on the whole it was a fantastic night for both us and our favourites, in a high quality spinoff. Thanks to the following for the points: Cadelicia (03), Quintessa (10), Hushkanukia (01), Bøtanikkä (10), Seyétana (02), Deandria (15), Cowtermont (09), FARC (15), Thelonia (08), Terra Avium (10), Espen (15), Aeroche (15), Utopia (15), Skall (06), Pupok (12), Persephonia (10) & Medhelnia (08) :heart: Hope you've all had a great pride month thus far x
July 10, 20187 yr Author BJSC 106 Claptone - Birdsong (feat. Zola Blood) POcCfIuYBEE In the early hours of today, it was announced in Land of DW that our entry for the 106th edition of BJSC is 'Birdsong' by Claptone featuring Zola Blood. Claptone is a German dance producer so this marks a brand new nationality for us! Zola Blood are a four-piece band from London who provide the vocals for 'Birdsong'. These two acts marry together to produce a very lovely package. There are dreamy vocals, subtle house beats (back to the #dancebloc we go) and very pretty and calming outdoor imagery in the video. We discovered this gorgeous song while tuning into Radio 1 late at night and fell in love at first listen. We initially didn't think to enter this to BJSC (hence why it's currently in Jade's Top 40 over in the Personal Chart forum!) but then it suddenly clicked as an idea recently. 'Birdsong' is just 2 minutes 46 seconds in length, a far cry from our longest entry to date last month courtesy of Shpongle (which was over 8 minutes long!) and instead our shortest entry to date. We're going for something a bit more simple this time but we promise it's effective. This is our 33rd BJSC entry to date and can be found in slot 1 (woo, kicking it off *.*) in semi 2. We hope you enjoy!
July 15, 20186 yr Author Has a bit of a RÜFÜS vibe to it, lovely stuff. x I totally hear you on this one and what a compliment tbh *.* (yasss at you getting this thread to 40 pages)
July 16, 20186 yr Author Claptone was reaching for a place in the final... and gets one! Today our fate was quickly announced in Land of DW after the people spoke and wanted semi 2 results first. We can happily say that 'Birdsong' by Claptone featuring Zola Blood, our latest foray into the #dancebloc and shortest entry to date, has made it to the BJSC 106 final! This is our 28th qualifier to date out of a possible 33 and builds our qualifying streak back up to 3. 'Birdsong' already has promising odds from Trifoski and Beaverdonia but will it live up to the hype? Only time will tell. Thank you to everyone who voted for 'Birdsong', I appreciate it ever so much! Please support us in the final, where we can be found in slot 18 out of a possible 37 songs. We lost these songs from our semi 2 votes: 04 Kluminican Republic // Odetta Hartman - Misery 02 Singerpurear // Moloko - Forever More 01 FSR Rontvia // Dolcenera - Un Altro Giorno Sulla Terra ...plus these from our would-be semi 1 votes: 03 Holland-Oats // Chet Faker - Gold 02 Beaverdonia Impakt Nation // Panama - Always
July 23, 20186 yr Author So we've officially had 20 top-half finishes in the final (more about tonight's result in a full post coming soon) so we're releasing Jadakissnia: The Hits, our first album to celebrate! :cheer: Here it is... Enjoy a journey of upbeat, which then morphs into spooky and finally ends with chill-out (what better to end on than with our biggest hit *.*) You can listen below :D playlist?list=PLBWUAiAWtU8TpfzSrYfu8VXPwWKeBYZH3 (floppy fan faves like MONOMOTION and SOLDOUT coming to an album near you when Jadakissnia @ 50 is eventually released x)
