You Lil' Ripper.
|
 This weekend three of my very best friends & I embarked on a road trip, visiting a dear High School friend of ours who has stupidly moved to the other side of Victoria all in the name of love. Naturally, when it comes to a road trip, I take music selection very seriously and have been known to spend up to 2 weeks molding, crafting and reshaping the final playlist. It's something I am not ashamed to admit being incredibly gifted at.
Anyway, on the drive BACK home from our time amongst trees and an abundance of bread & breakfasts, 30 minutes away from being on the correct side of Victoria, Lil' Chris' "Gettin' Enough??" came on the stereo. Everyone got very excited and we began to discuss the tracks brilliance, much to my delight. Ben asked me about the artist, having heard the song before on a compilation I'd meticulously crafted for him late last year, but possibly failed to provide a comprehensive tracklisting for. After explaining it was a (then) 16 year old boy, the population within my car began to spin out. Ben had been convinced it was a girl, but was not disappointed to hear it was a boy. Excitedly, I turfed the remaining 30 minutes (!) of my golden road trip tracklisting in order to play my automobile of friends Chris' exceptional album. How exciting it was for me that everyone TOTALLY lapped it up and proclaimed their undying love for Lil' Chris and his phenomenal debut album.
The funny thing is, about 2 weeks ago I began watching (for the first time) Rock School 2, the reality show which Lil' Chris had been 'propelled' to fame via. The weekly installments have prompted me to listen to the album again at least once a day for most of July. So as you can imagine, sharing the love around has thrown some genuine joy into my life, something I have been seriously lacking with exams and assignments these last few weeks. Then there's the news Chris is recording songs for a new album this week. Throw this intel together with a clip of his next single, an ace cover of the Jermaine Stewart track "Clothes Off," which you may remember Clea murdering this time last year, and you have a delirious Adem indeed (because he TOLD ME to "Get Delerious!" Do you see?) You can hear a clip of Chris' superior version over at his MySpazz.
Whilst you're here, why not download "I Never Noticed" from Chris' debut album, which is not only one of the best electro-pop ballads of last year, but also OF ALL TIME. Download ZShare | 4mb.
And now you can buy the album. Seriously, it's all killer, no filler, and worth every penny you'll spend on it.Labels: Lil' Chris
