One to Watch: Sinead O’Connor – The Wolf is Getting Married

Ireland’s finest singer Sinead O’Connor is about to release her long awaited ninth studio album this Monday, and what a better way than have a look first at the leading single ‘The Wolf is Getting Married’ before the album review later on this week.

Despite all the gossip about her wedding and other private matters it’s been remarkably quiet arround the Irish superstar who rose to fame in the 8oies. But she is back, and are we glad she is giving it another go to teach them youngsters how to make some good music.

The track, which has been chosen to preceed the new album ‘How About I Be Me (And You Be You)’, ‘The Wolf is Getting Married’ combines the raw vocals of Sinead with a solid pop rock sound. The great asset of Sinead O’Connor’s repertoire is not only her vocals but her lyrics, which fit her so well. Her songs are heavily influenced by issues in the world and her personal life and ‘The Wolf is Getting Married’ is no exception. It’s been a very long time since we heard Sinead tracks, apart from Nothing Compares 2 You, on the radio so we are crossing our fingers for lots and lots of radio airplay and hope it all builds up to one heck of a comeback for the inspiring artist.

She blew our socks off with her performance of the song on the Graham Norton Show last week which you can watch here, but now the official video for the song is out as well. And video-wise it’s again very creatively done, without having to exaggerate. Something some of the popstars we know these days could learn from, no offence to them.

”The Wolf is Getting Married” is out now on i-Tunes. The new album ”How About I Be Me (And You Be You)” sees its international release on March 5.

One to Watch: Dappy – Rockstar ft Brian May

While X Factor judge/cousin and fellow band member Tulisa is having trouble completing her album, Dappy is ready to release his 2nd solo single ‘Rock star’.

The lead singer of N-Dubz, who’s known for wearing ‘’eye-catching’’ hat-wear is teaming up with Queen Guitarist Brian May for the follow up of UK number one ‘’No Regrets’’.

Credit to Dappy for writing ‘’Rockstar’’ but we can’t help but feel a bit underwhelmed by the general similar production of ‘’No Regrets’’. We’re a bit indifferent towards the new single, as it misses a real punch. We would have loved to see this be heavier and rockier, especially when you’re accompanied with the honouree Brian May, and perhaps fully rapped rather than the rap and singing. But hey with an overdose on radio airplay, we think this might grow on us and eventually sweep us off our feet.

‘’Rock star’’ ft Brian May is available for download on iTunes February 26th or pre-ordered here http://bit.ly/dappy-rockstar
