Hey Smelly Poos,
You know what? We've been doing so much "advertising" for mega super International stars and all, but we've seem to have forgotten about the ones we have back home, here on our sunny little island of Singapore.
Being the elitist-in-training, (just kidding!) i seek to resolve this stigma that we are in!!!!!!!! *que Superhero music*
Anywho, enough blabbering. I would really like to take this chance and this stage that we have created to give our local artistes some well-deserved credit.
For starts, we have fantastic indie and alternative bands, such as The Great Spy experiment and , as we all know, Electrico. But who would have thought, that our little country, safe from the ghettos and the Bronx, would be able to produce this following duo!
They are known as SLEEQ. Yes, that is with a "Q", and not a "K".
They are a half R&B and half Rap duo. Having come out with their very first album, "In the Q", they currently have only a thousand albums out in the market at the moment.
Their first single, "Almost, But" has been playing on 987 fm for quite some time now.
They even won the Most Popular Singaporean Artiste in the recent Anuggerah Music Awards, which is an annual award ceremony which celebrates the best in malay music all around the world.
Being both of a mere tender age of 18, it is amazing to see their accomplishments and the quality of the songs they have.
Here, is a video of a life performance of their song "Almost, But".
Cool ain't it?
Anyway, not that i'm paid to do this, but these guys are both from Temasek Polytechnic!! and one of them, the taller and cuter one, is actually in the same course and same year as I am. *sniggers*
You can check them out at http://www.myspace.com/sleeq
Anywho, hoped you guys have enjoyed this little bit of trivia. I'll be back with more low-down on our local scene.
Nicole
