Still no idea

Ok, totally going out on a limb here...but the voice in this new iamamiwhoami sounds exactly like Bat for Lashes to me. Could Natasha Khan be behind this project? Granted, she just came out with a record last summer and I haven't heard of a follow up being made, but if this isn't Natasha Khan singing there's someone that sounds A LOT like her involved.

Obviously the girl in this video is disguised, perhaps she's disguised in all of them and is not really blond all. Her blue eyes are definitely contacts and the image is heavily distorted. I'm not saying that this is necessarily Bat for Lashes in the video or her project exclusively, but I wouldn't be surprised if she (and potentially other vocalists) have lent their talents to some other artist.

Also take note of the men in the video, they seem to be disguised as well. It's not a positive ID, but they could easily be Torbjørn Brundtland and Svein Berge, aka Royksopp. Anybody remember their collaboration with Robyn? How about when they featured Karin Dreijer Andersson on vocals? It's not unlikely that this is something like that.

But what do we know? We've been sure it was Christina Aguilera, Little Boots, The Golden Filter, Goldfrapp and everyone in between. Anyways, watch and discuss.

Bat for Lashes - Daniel (Fazhands Remix)

Bat for Lashes - Pearl's Dream (Blossom and Surrender remix)

Royksopp - The Girl And The Robot (ft. Robyn)

EDIT: Thanks to a comment from our friend Carla (and this theory blowing up on the whole rest of the internet) we may now finally know who iamamiwhoami actually is. There's a lot of evidence pointing to Swedish artist Jonna Lee. There are definitely some physical similarities, the whole Swedish thing, some twitter updates and other stuff pointing to her...so this could very well be it for the mystery. I still think the voice sounds like Bat for Lashes more than what I've listened to from Jonna Lee, but any voice can be manipulated so I guess that's not saying much.

So here's a track from Jonna Lee and a photo to compare. I'm kind of sad that this could be the end, and a kind of disappointing one at that.

Bat for Lashes is Out!

Ok, so I wish. Bat for Lashes (aka Natasha Khan) is IN Out...as in Out Magazine. This month's issue of the "Fashion, Style, Celebrity, Opinion, for the Modern Gay Man" magazine features an interview with my one of my straight girl crushes. She talks a little about her gay following, the comparisons to Kate Bush, performing, and other stuff. I wish they would have asked her about how lesbians LOVE her, but I suppose Out is for the modern gay MAN.

Anyways, you can check out the interview HERE...and check out her latest video (for the song Pearl's Dream) and a million videos of people covering Daniel after the cut!

When I was living in London for a short bit, I would tune into a little Radio 1 show segment hosted by Jo Whiley called "Live Lounge". The loose concept of the show was to interview up and coming bands and have them perform their current single of choice and a cover. Often, these covers were from an entirely different genre of music, i.e. The Saturdays covering Frankie Valli or Gossip covering Kanye West. Most times the covers ruled, more often than not, they didn't do so well (Florence & The Machine, I'm talking to you and your butchering of Beyonce). After 12 years of The Jo Whiley Show, BBC Radio 1 has replaced her slot with some other girl. Whatever. Don't care about that person. Jo will be moved to a weekend slot of some sort. Anyways, this show ruled. It was pretty much my only friend besides another girl named Laura I had attended summer camp with who lived in the UK. Seriously, for 3 1/2 years on and off I did nothing in that country.

Also I remember hearing this interview she did with The Game and he was going off on how faggots weren't real men or something really gangsta and stupid and she was like WTF and went on this huge speech and apologized. This proves 2 things: Jo Whiley is kind of cool. That and The Game is really stupid and had 2 good songs and probably will never get any further than that.

Anyways, this post is a tribute to Radio 1's The Jo Whiley Show and a thank you for all the awesome music in a queer's time of isolation in some wacky country (although really, what country ISN'T wacky these days?).

Bat for Lashes

I know I'm late on this one...and maybe some people would say something like "she's not even queer!"...but I don't presume to know Natasha Khan's sexuality, and I don't really care to. What I do know is that Bat for Lashes is one of the most exciting music projects around and she's certainly got the gay vote, whether she is or isn't.

When I first heard her latest single Daniel a couple of months ago, I didn't really care for it. I'm not sure why...maybe because I just wanted all of her songs to be What's a Girl To Do? Either way, I heard Daniel yesterday morning and it blew my mind! I'm not sure what changed, maybe I was finally over What's a Girl To Do, or maybe because it was morning and I was actually LISTENING to it?

So, if you haven't fallen in love with Daniel yet, give it another go. You won't regret it.
