This week's song of the week may come as a bit of a shock to you all. Usually I listen to dance and techno music, but this week, I stumbled upon something a bit different. In place of my usual dancey track, I have chosen a laid back singer-songwriter track. Check it out.
This week's pick is The Shield and the Sword by Clare Maguire. In all honesty, I had never heard of her what so ever until a few days ago. A follower of mine on Twitter was sharing some of their musical taste with me when this gem caught my eye. I literally only previewed about thirty seconds of the song before I clicked buy on iTunes, and I don't regret a thing.
The song is much more mellow than what I've had on my playlists lately, but it is still very intense. It's a song that uses metaphors through an actual physical battle of love, one with a shield and one with a sword. I am -very- impressed by the single, and I am very excited for a full album. Any fans in the UK should buy her new album "Light After Dark". For the US fan, or those just curious, click
