Need help finding a song

[SteveOBHave]

Female singer, seriously classy. Has a real 60's/70's sound to it. The music video looks like it has fallen out of the same era. Beautiful song.

Sorry but that's the best I can come up with, it's fairly recent so not Mazzy Star or similar.

Any guesses are appreciated!

 

[Belmit]

Fairly recent?

 

[SteveOBHave]

Nah, as much as I really love that song, it was much much more down beat like this:

or

Similar feel to the video too but more classy with classic American mansions in it and stuff.

As and aside, this bird is pushing a more than a few buttons - Cat Power

 

[SteveOBHave]

I think it might've sounded kinda French?

 

[ZG002]

Where did you hear it?

 

[Kosmiche]

Not Lana Del Ray or however its spelt?

 

[SteveOBHave]

Oh Dude - you're a legend Exactly it!!!

 

[Nitefly]

I knew this would be Lana Del Rey, beaten!

(Awful song )

 

[SteveOBHave]

LOL - harsh man. She's no Fiona Apple but I think it's a really great sound.

 

[Nitefly]

I think people like it because it sounds very fresh, particularly the retro-recorded lyrics in a world of radio saturated autotune. Being fair, it does have a strong melodic chorus.

Honestly though, I think whoever produced or wrote the backing was deliberately trying to ape this:

Maybe I'm being overly critical.

 

[SteveOBHave]

Sorry. Steve didn't make it through that last video, he was found trying to choke himself with his mouse. This is his flatmate...





...Ugh sorry dude but I really stuggle with anything past OK Computer including OK Computer... I see where you're coming from on the texturing but I don't see the parallels melodically.

 

[SteveOBHave]

Now aping this perhaps?

 

[Nitefly]

I meant more with the layering and texturing, I don't think they sound melodically similar.

Glad you avoided suicide though

Pffft Barely
