Wednesday Vibes: Jamiroquai / Canned Heat

This music pearl is a perfect way to get hyped on a rainy Wednesday morning. Requirements: Adidas sneakers, woolly hat and awesome funky moves. Who to follow: straight out of the ’90s, it’s Jamiroquai with their massive hit “Canned Heat” (1999). At the time this track was released Jay&friends had already delivered the first single […]

Chill, It’s Friday: TLC / Waterfalls

Weekend is here! I happened to bump into this golden oldie from 1996 on youtube, so I figured it could set the groove for tonight. “Waterfalls” from TLC has very serious lyrics (and video) yet a catchy fun rhythm that I always like to sing along to. Funky, pop, r’n’b, they always had it all. […]

PopSushi Suggests: Mid Week Music

A good share of mid week music. It’s wednesday and we HAVE to be productive, so here’s a smash hit from the ’90s to boost your energy: “Rockafeller Skank”, aka “Funk Soul Brother”, by Fatboy Slim (of which we talked already some time ago). C’mon people two and a half days are gone, two and […]

New Radicals / You Get What You Give

Here’s a good trip down memory lane, straight back to one of the hymns of what once was ’90s pop rock. Iconic signs: fisherman style hat, baggy jeans and a skateboard. The song is “You Get What You Give” by New Radicals, major hit both in the US and in Europe taken from their only […]

Ultra

Ultra / Say It Once

SPOILER ALLERT: ’90s Pop Boyband. Basically my field of expertise. It was 1998 and I was it the middle of my teenage dream. Boybands popped out like mushrooms, Take That had already ended their (first) phase and Spice Girls were half way through. And in that perfect pure pop era, another mix of nice looking, […]

Fatboy Slim/Praise you

Fatboy Slim (aka Norman Cook) has been one of the most famous artists/djs/super-cool-guys in the music biz since like twenty years or so. He has produced a wide and truly polihedric range of chart-topping hits, that still make us dance. He started out as part of different projects (something like 36 different names and bands […]

Happy Birthday SpiceWorld!

Happy Birthday Spiceworld! Two decades ago I was in elementary school, everyone went crazy for Leonardo DiCaprio and pop music was at its peak. Boy bands and girl bands blossomed in every corner (and backstreets), leopard printed wedges were the trend and glitter was the rule. Surprisingly tacky, mid nineties pop culture twisted and turned […]

Gala/Summer Eclipse

Ok this is weird one. It was 1997 and I wasn’t even a teenager when a super dance hit made its way through the charts and filled european radios all summer long. It was italian born and US raised pop dance singer Gala, with her greatest success “Freed from Desire”. It ran along for a […]
