Off The Record

For the musically unaware (:

Just a few albums to start the year with.

1. Continuum by John Mayer
- "Slow Dancing In a Burning Room" and "Heart of Life" coupled with the smoother than smooth "Gravity" makes this album a must listen to.
- A heavier sound compared to his earlier albums, a more mature sound.

2. ElizabethTown the OST by Various Artists
- Imagine an album with everything you can think of , from Elton John's early works to the smooth country harmonisations of East MountainSide. A great piece of chill music.
- Watch the movie, then get the soundtrack and then fall in love with Kirsten Dunst... again.

3. Any album by Vienna Teng
- Not a mandarin album.
- Often compared to Corinne May, Vienna has a smoother country feel to her music.
- Listen to "City Hall", a song describing the beauty and romanticism of a couple that is traveling down to get married.
- For the romantics out there.

4. So Much More by Brett Dennen
- An album for the rainy day, or a cool night.
- Acoustic guitar + A sad voice. What more do you need?
- If you like Damien Rice, try this.

5. Philips, Craig and Dean
- An underrated album that deserves more hype
- Has great songs like "Let my words be few", "You are God Alone"

Thanks to Rav and Boot for the introductions to some of the albums. Enjoy the ride.
