I would have sworn that we had already a new song du jour topic, but could only find the legacy one, so opening a new one
Came across Madison Cunningham yesterday. Mesmerizing voice!

Lovely! A shade Sarah McLachlan (never a bad thing), but definitely her own woman.
So this is my song du jour. It's 16 years old, and I must have first heard it over 10 years ago. Despite adoring these Danish geniuses Mew, it never made much impression on me. Suddenly on their last gig I went to in Feb - the very last featuring their divine singer, Jonas - they played it as an encore and it suddenly fell into place.
I now think I've been monumentally stupid for the past decade.
It's a masterpiece, albeit a tricksy one. It almost sounds like it's falling apart, but that groove is absolutely intentional and wonderous. Then the chorus - sublime. I cannot get it out my head now. I hope someone here will appreciate its brilliance rather quicker than I did.
Mew have always been sugar and spice - both here in abundance. From chaos to beauty. I will miss them terribly, but play them forever.
