She’s the tiny figure in a band of 7, who loves nothing more than to be on stage with her mates in The Otherside Orchestra. Izwin has been listening to music ever since she was born and is now actively writing music she loves with her band. So let’s find out what’s currently gracing her stereo…
TOP 5 SONGS ON YOUR PLAYLIST NOW:
- My Propeller – Arctic Monkeys
- My Mistakes Were Made For You – The Last Shadow Puppets
- Focker – Late of the Pier
- Eriatarka – The Mars Volta (this is the ring tone for my band mates! heh..)
- Secret Door – Arctic Monkeys
What song(s) pops up in your head when…
You’re happy: L’Via L’Viaquez by The Mars Volta (I think this song is super sexy!)
You’re reminded of your childhood days: Definitely Michael Jackson’s early stuff especially Billie Jean, Thriller, Beat It, Bad and The Girl Is Mine to name a few.
You’re relaxing: Echo by Incubus and For Your Love by My Dear Disco
You’re stuck in the jam: D is for Dangerous by Arctic Monkeys
You got butterflies in your tummy: My Propeller by Arctic Monkeys. The music just sounds very mysterious to me.
(yeah a lot of AM stuff I know, I’m currently hooked on the new album, Humbug 24/7!)
Which artist/album(s) would you recommend for people to check out?
The xx – The xx. If you’re into that dreamy, trippy stuff. Simple songwriting, very honest. Oh and it’s pretty calming too.
SevenCollar T-Shirt – The Great Battle. Great music arrangement, beautiful melodies but not over the top. It’s just awesome.
Arctic Monkeys – Humbug. Perfect for the moody…and confused ones…somehow. The songs really grow on you. A great step forward after Favourite Worst Nightmare.
Last but definitely not least, I would really really suggest for you people to check out Yuna and Najwa if you haven’t. I recently watched them at Malam Nada Biru and they are two really amazing singers and songwriters. Goose bumps all the way!
