Music Spotlight: Mikky Ekko

I'm well renowned for watching fanvids of my current tv show or movie obsession of the time, so when I came across a Loki centric fanvid with the song 'Who Are You Really?' by Mikky Ekko...well I was automatically hooked on this artist. (the fanvid is really good too!)
What else could I do but find out more about Mikky Ekko? He has his own blog where he posts his new songs, which are also free to download! Which, lets just say, shocked me slightly 'cause his songs are what I'd imagine to be on a £10 album in HMV.  What I like about him in particular is that he doesn't rush to get new songs out. With the time gaps between each one you can tell he takes his time and really puts all his effort into them.
The combination of dramatic drum beats and fiery voice in 'Who Are You Really?', gets me raring to go. You can feel the emotions conveyed in the song. It doesn't feel fake or bland. There's real power in everything going on; the instruments, the singing, the lyrics...etc.


Recently, Mikky Ekko released a new song called 'Pull Me Down', also free to download. It's light and relaxing with a slow beat. Yes it is currently my favourite song. The lyrics are undoubtedly romantic and is sung in such a way that washes over you whether or not you want it to.


So whoever is reading this, go and download the songs available on his website/blog, www.mikkyekko.com. Seriously, you won't regret it!

Peace out reader!
