Swallow Half The Moon
Marit Larsen “If A Song Could Get Me You” – Marit Larsen specializes in modern fairy tale ballads; songs that renders simple, relatable emotions and experiences in the magical tones of musical theater, big screen romance, and girly fantasy. Her new single may be far too sugary for some listeners, but if you can appreciate it for what it is — gorgeous, achingly sincere, and immaculately produced — you’ll have no choice but to fall in love. “If A Song Could Get Me You” is not a far cry from what Larsen was doing on her previous album, but whereas the songs on that record leaned either in the direction of country-pop or classic Disney, this number lands someplace in the space between those aesthetics.

Fluxcast #6 – I’m pretty sure this is going to be a regular Tuesday thing now, or pretty close to it. (Maybe Mondays sometimes?) Anyway, the full playlist for this podcast will be up on the Fluxcast site later this week, but if you’re feeling impatient and/or cannot understand what I am saying, you can check the “lyrics” section of the mp3’s metadata. This episode features music from Cam’ron, Reuben Wilson, Faust, and, uh, Marit Larsen.
