Latvia LATVIA 2015 - Aminata - Love Injected

[kamc]

Wow, this album has floored me

In order of preference

Amazing
1. Love Injected (just a masterpiece)
2. The Bound (dance queen Aminata)
3. Land Of Nibiru (so dreamy and lush, would have made a great eurovision entry too).
4. Leave My Love Bleeding (full of attitude and great lyrics)

Good
5. Dualism (would have ranked this higher if not for the autotune voice effect which I don't like)
6. Let Me Know (this is cute but a little dated sounding)
7. I Can Breathe (a funky number but doesn't really stand out)
8. Until We Land (pleasant but a little dull if I'm honest)

Bad
9. Cell Phone (Oh dear....one dud is allowed I guess. Sounds a little childish and too similar to I Can Breathe in melody).

And I'm sorry but Ring My Bells is a masterpiece all of its own that I can't possibly rank it!! Gwen Stefani would kill for this song
It's a total "wtf?!!" but I adore it lol.

This is definitely one of my favs this year. She is a great singer, her English is better than most other East Europeans as far as I can tell at least. I like the lyrics she has written too which.

I'm obsessed with The bound..what a song

I'm obsessed with The bound..what a song

I am too. It's amazing.

And I still just freaking love that she writes all her music herself.. I always tend to gravitate toward those artists. The songs are pretty much always better and just sooo much more authentic. Also her style is quite indescribable.. her music is definetly very interesting and innovative as pop music goes and I love that. And her lyrics are even better than good. Anyways, it's very up my alley. That album is killer, she is killer, world-class, I have so much respect ...

Do we know if the lyrics are available for the album? There are some songs where I'm not sure of the exact lyrics and would like to know for sure

Anyway, I totally agree with all of your post. I am mostly excited for my trip to Vienna because of having the opportunity of seeing Aminata perform live....it feels like I am going to see a professional artist perform and not some random amateur.
I really hope some major label snaps her up because she is very special and oozes talent.

I get Rona's vibes from this.

What if I told you she's not a Eastern European.

Looks great!

 

[Kairit]

The video!

 

[anselm]

The video kinda disappointed me ;_; Not really feeling it.

 

[lavieenrose]

It's okay. It does what it has to do.

 

[RainyWoods]

Best video of the year for best song of the year. It's only fitting



All the other videos just got slayed into oblivion. That was so beautifully shot and sizzling hot, literally. Wow. I can see why it's taken this long to arrive. Clearly a lot has gone into it's creation.

 

[Schlagerman1]

I think it is great! I really feel the desperation from the song in it, especially in the end with the fire and when they fell to the floor with each other in their arms. Romantic, dramatic and with the slight budget that I think the video is made with, really nice.

 

[kamc]

Love the solo bits of Aminata singing, but the narrative part with the guy could have been more developed. It's as slick and stylish as I expected though
