Klaxons
I’ve been giving some artists a second try lately. You know, artists that you’ve known about and probably even have some songs by them, but you didn’t like it on the first hear so you never listened to them again?
Well I’ve been giving some of them a second listen and turns out they’re fantastic.
I will call this plan “Be Kind, Rewind.”*
I even liked them enough to upload them for you guys. Why? In the words of my 3-year-old cousin Zoe, because “I NICE.”
Download them while they’re hot! Limited time offer of 7 days.
And of course, these mp3s are for sampling purposes only. If you like it, buy the album. Thanks RIAA!

Jose Gonzalez – Hand on Your Heart
My current song obsession is Jose Gonzalez’s cover of Hand on Your Heart, originally by Kylie Minogue.
I was like eh the first time I heard it. I’m not particularly fond on folksy music. But after a few more listens, I started liking it more and more. His voice and the lyrics are just so so pretty.
I wasn’t crazy about his cover of The Knife’s Heartbeats. The original is just too good. However, dare I say – I like his version of Hand on Your Heart better than Kylie’s version? I know! And I LOVE me some Kylie! She’s one of my favorite ladies, but her version is a little TOO 80’s for me. It scares me kind of.
This song is a single, so it’s not on his Veneer album.
