UK Electro-pop duo Hurts is ready to unleash their album Happiness on the 6th of September. They released the tracklist, and it was also confirmed that Kylie Minogue is featured on the track called “Devotion” with the duo.

Earlier we heard the track “Better Than Love” (video), and here’s the video for their single, “Wonderful Life”.

Here’s the cover for Happiness, released on the 6th of September in the UK.

And the tracklist for Happiness:

1. “Silver Lining”
2. “Wonderful Life”
3. “Blood, Tears & Gold”
4. “Sunday”
5. “Stay”
6. “Illuminated”
7. “Evelyn”
8. “Better Than Love”
9. “Devotion”
10. “Unspoken”
11. “The Water”

I’m looking forward to getting a copy of Happiness and listening to Hurts.

Acoustic: Ellie Goulding – “The Writer”

Posted on by

Ellie Goulding‘s album, Lights, is a great debut album, worthy of all the praise and recognition it has received in the UK, where it debuted at #1 on the charts.

“The Writer” is her latest single, the fourth from the album, and will be released on the 9th of August. It’s a great ballad, and here is an amazing acoustic version of the track. Ellie has a interesting way of phrasing and signing, which comes across heavily in the acoustic version. I love her voice and singing, and really like strings in this acoustic version.

Take a listen and grab yourself a copy of Lights.

New Album Art and Tracklist: Sharon Corr – Dream of You

Posted on by

Here’s the cover for Sharon Corr‘s debut solo album, Dream of You. The album is to be released on the 13th of September in the UK and Ireland. The lead single, “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime” will be released a week ahead of the album. (Hopefully the album will get an International or US release date soon.)

Here’s a live performance of the single, “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime”:

Here is the tracklist for Dream of You:
1. Our Wedding Day
2. Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime
3. So Long Ago
4. Mná Na h’Éireann
5. It’s Not A Dream
6. Smalltown Boy
7. Buenos Aires
8. Cooley’s Reel
9. Butterflies
10. Dream Of You
11. Real World
12. Love Me Better

Here’s a chilling live version of “Smalltown Boy”:

I really love the album cover, as a fan of The Corrs, I’ve come to learn that Sharon is the hopeless romantic and classically elegant, and the cover is a great representation of her personality and her music. Since Sharon has been teasing us with the album for a while, it is a bit of a surprise that a few songs she’s been playing live are not on the album, including “Jenny’s Chicken”, “Over It”, and “Ears Painted On” (future B-sides?) On the flip side, I’m excited that the Bronski Beat cover “Smalltown Boy”, “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime” by The Korgis, “Buenos Aires” with Alex Ubago, and “It’s Not A Dream” made the album. I’m excited and curious to see what the whole album sounds like. And now we wait…
