"Life will love you back" by Love Phobia

She was born in Algeria but moved to France at the age of five. After her parents divorced she went to live with her father in New York City, and developed the ever so charming French accent in combination with her exotic look.

We will probably never know if her name really is Love Phobia, although she keeps confirming it. But what I sure know is that "Life will love you back" is a hell of a debut. It sounds like Sade and Simply Red, but combines Raphael Saadiq with Diana Ross as well. And Love Phobia is surely influenced by Billie Holliday and Natacha Atlas too.

There are worse names to be compared too...

"The Dark Side of the Moon" by Pink Floyd

This is what Wikipedia writes about Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon": ... is the sixth studio album by English progressive rock group Pink Floyd. Released in March 1973, the concept built on the ideas that the band had explored in their live shows and previous recordings. (...)

"The Dark Side of the Moon" was an immediate success, topping the Billboard 200 for one week. It subsequently remained on the charts for 741 weeks (fourteen years), the longest duration of any album in history. With an estimated 45 million units sold, it is Pink Floyd's most commercially successful album and one of the best-selling albums worldwide.
It spawned two singles, "Money" and "Us and Them".

This week, scientists discovered water on the moon. A bit strange though...
But if there's water, there might be fish. And if there are fish, some might be sharks.
Time to re-title the bestselling album by Pink Floyd.

"Ask" by Golias

I will probably never know if this Finnish band wanted to referr to Goliath, with their name.

But that's not important. Their second album "Ask" is once again an impressive album. It's one of those typical autumn albums: a bit melancholic, dramatic and with a bit of tristesse.
A lot of violins and soundscapes bring a recognizable mood and make that the entire album feels like one ongoing mood. There are only six songs on the CD but "Ask" sounds like a solid entity. Let it come over you...
