I wonder if this will be done before mine and Jade's

Lol I highly doubt it will get finished before the Brade lists. I was expecting to finish this by Christmas but I've put this on hold for so long and it took forever to finish my individual contest reviews :P

o yay for exhume! wasn't expecting that.

 

yesss for mediate 'what you do' - completely underrated

I gave it a gander after everyone was making comparisons of Jadakissnia's venture into witch house (it sounded a bit more of metal than witch house), and I was WOWED. May end up going witch house for a Buzzjack contest soon.

 

"What You Do" is among the many BJSC entries that have landed a spot in my workout playlist.

Backstage Access Episode 7: New Year, New... Dynasty?

 

http://i.imgur.com/zgV3CJ8.jpg

 

Artist: MIIA

Track: "Dynasty (Elephante Remix)"

 

Thought we built a dynasty that heaven couldn't shake,

Thought we built a dynasty like nothing ever made,

Thought we built a dynasty forever couldn't break up...

 

 

From Billboard:

Meet budding pop star MIIA. Hailing from Norway, the talented singer/songwriter is a product of the Scandinavian pop scene. Signed at age 14, MIIA's (pronounced MEE-uh) debut single, "In The Light of Love" reached #24 on iTunes Pop chart in Norway and has been used in several synchs on film and TV. Since then, her cover of Sia's "Elastic Heart" (featuring Brandon Skeie) has generated 1.1M views to-date.

 

And now, today, she returns with her next offering in the stunning ballad “Dynasty.” The powerful heartbreak anthem, which the singer wrote following a break-up, features striking multi-octave vocals, that create a unique yet familiar sound that is part Adele, part Demi Lovato, and paired with the edge of Tove Lo and Imogen Heap. For fans of all four, you're going to want to keep an eye on this young crossover talent.

The latest single from MIIA has been compared to the likes of Adele... in its original version anyway. The remix by Elephante (who we've seen before) takes it into an entirely different dimension. Generic to some, maybe, but from the beginning, it pushes the boundaries by starting off as a future pop production, only to erupt into a Zedd-like progressive drop (which he should do more of). This is mainly an attempt to reach back into our core audience after going experimental last contest. It's pretty safe to say the this time, we mean business.
Maybe I shouldn't say this but I remember playing the original back on PLUG I think it was and everyone on at the time said it was awful. :kink: The remix is an improvement though.

Yeah, I tried the original and it wasn't really my style - this was after I heard this version. There are a lot more dimensions to this version.
