Danja & The Clutch

So I love Pop music.
I love Indian classical and Spiritual Jazz and all that clever shit but I also love Pop music.
Danja is pretty much my favourite producer at the moment. His trademark sound may only be a hair’s-breadth away from his mentor Timbaland’s but he seems to by going about making music with more joy and flair than the big mumbler has recently. After co-producing half the hit records of 2006 he broke out and did the Britney album without Timbaland and seems to be cranking out big drums and synths quite happily on his own now.
The Clutch are Georgia based songwriters Balewa Muhammad, Ezekiel Lewis, Patrick “J. Que” Smith, Candice Nelson and Keri Hilson. Hilson has been about-to-be-massive for guite a few years now, but perhaps too busy writing hits for other people to do her own album.
The Clutch work with a lot of different producers but it’s when Danja is on the beats that they really work. They are a perfect Black Pop production team, rhythm and harmony and energy. Music for teenagers, like it should be.
I shall include some of their produce, in the teenage medium of Youtube videos: (more…)
Moni Tivony (Know The Way I Feel)

Tomorrow is the final of the BBC’s The One and Only. It’s Pop Idol for tribute acts. A really long episode of Stars In Their Eyes.
It’s pretty lame as you’d imagine but for one thing… They have a ginger white dude blacked-up as Lionel Richie (!!!) and he’s great.
Watch this dude talking, normally, as him, and then watch him singing as Lionel.
OMG!?!
I think I like him better than Lionel. If he performed original songs (still with the prosthetic nose of course) I think he could be the biggest star in the world or something. He’d be like a reverse Michael Jackson but a little bit Al Jolson.
Anyways if you don’t want to watch the show ever (fair enough) you can find all Moni Tivony’s (what a name!) performances on the BBC youtube channel.
Kind of breathtaking right?
