Skip to M'Alu

It was really only a matter of time before the realm of social networking picked up another "Pandora" like engine.

Well it turns out these things already exist but were kind of riding below the radar, at least until now. MSN.com called them all out for their gift of giving free music (legally) and also streaming other music you might be interested in while you're there.

Foolishly msn.com titled the article like my Granny might. "5 Groovy Sites for Free Music."

For your Thursday tunes from Bring Me Up, we have Alu. With either a detailed production with each note in perfect position or with a more simple instrumentation, Alu's music is all shoegaze dreaminess melting into some modern jazz.

Her voice is deliciously similar to Gwen Stefani but a little bit smoother. Combine the vocals with the finger snaps and keyboard it's addicting music. I can imagine her on stage with bright musical colors spinning in ribbons around her whlie she sings.

There is much energy bouncing around in her music. She's not interested in falling in a particular genre, she just likes having fun with all the different sounds and textures you can add to music. The result is an album that offers a great deal of varied sounds and influences. You must understand creating records where each track is uniquely enchanting isn't easy to come by in today's music.

I am confident you will love this music! I'm sharing a track from her upcoming album Lobotomy Sessions, which releases on July 15, 2008. Alu both wrote AND produced the record. Mark your calendars girls!

Listen:
Alu - "Buzzin' in My Brain" (mp3 track down)

Buy some of her original tunes!
