DP threw out a very intriging idea recently. She mused about pairing up with Elvira to do what sounds like a "Good Omens" scenario. I would be so excited to see that!

I can almost see this one. This one on the other hand?


That's Rob Halford of Judas Priest singing with her. Yep, Dolly goes metal. And it's not the first time. At the RnR Hall of Fame in 2022,.they teamed up for a Parton classic.

She seems to be having such a good time :3

She's really become a kind of senior figurehead for popular music in general, not just country. The fact that she's put out a whole album focused on rock music really emphasizes that, I think. And look at the list of folks in that video. They come from all over the music spectrum; rock, pop, country, and more. From one of the comments: Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow, Annie Lennox, Pat Benatar, Pink, Rob Halford. There's more that the commenter missed, too.
 
A decade ago, one of the big hits was "Let Her Go" a lovely ballad by the English singer-songwriter with the stage name Passenger. To mark its anniversary, he teamed up with his compatriot and fellow singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran for a new recording of the song. And it's beautiful.

 
New video from Swiss metal band Ad Infinitum featuring their wonderful founder-lead singer Melissa Bonny. The song is from their album Chapter III - Downfall, which came out last March. Video was shot on a fall tour with Dutch band Blackbriar, whose lead singer Zora Cock slips in a couple appearances.

 
Another favourite of mine, here from their set at Bloodstock Open Air 2023. Visions of Atlantis is an Austrian symphonic metal band featuring a pair of terrific vocalists, female is Clementine Delauney of France and male is Michele Guaitoli of Italy. "Master the Hurricane" is one of many fantastic songs from their 2022 album Pirates.


And last year, they played at another big festival, Wacken Open Air, and got a live album out of it, Pirates Over Wacken. "Melancholy Angel" is another favourite of mine from Pirates and features some amazing vocal work from Clementine.


Yep, metal is returning to this thread. Sorry but the metal thread was feeling a bit too much like my private metalhead playground.
 
I guess this would be called Muslimcore?

I can see using this as background to a gaming session

Love the internet :3

 
Middle Eastern and Near Eastern music is becoming quite influential I find. Mark Jansen, who writes the music for a couple bands that I follow, often uses chord progressions and other elements reminsicent of that culture. And one of my favourite metal bands is Israeli and you can hear elements of that in their original material at times, too, even if their base sound is more European symphonic metal.

I'm hearing a lot of tunes on popular radio with an east Indian bent to it....it's refreshing. Sort of Bollywood comes to radio
 
I love the breadth of Canadian pop music. You can hear a song in English, followed by one in French, then one in Inuktik. Never mind, as noted above, the variety of cultural influences on the music and the instruments.

Inshallah!

I love the lush instruments that Loreena McKennitt, Dead Can Dance, This Mortal Coil uses :3

Its like I am in a sacred, religious space :3

God is Great. And fun, too.
 
I was raving about Montreal native Alissa White-Gluz in the metal thread recently. As lead singer for melodic death metal greats Arch Enemy, Alissa is probably best known for her amazing growling, but she is also an accomplished clean singer and here holds her own with one of the best, Finnish metal soprano Tarja, while also getting in some of her trademark screams and growls.


And that hair. I've also watched Arch Enemy's set from the same festival and this is Alissa's spectacular hair at its finest.
