Since my ever first fine arts class sometimes back in the 90′s, I had to think about the above seen quotation. Of course, back than I barely understood what the expression “art” is all about. Seen through the eyes of an alternative thinking youngster (at least I wanted to be that), it was rather hard than understandable to me, who dictates what art is and what not. Almost 10 years later, when I found this wall painting somewhere in Malaysia, it went already clear for me what “art” is all about and how it is regulated. Sometimes I wish I could take a short glimpse through these green eyes of that time again.
What follows now is a kind of good crossover. We are going from talking about “art” directly to London, where a quiet famous label is about to set off the next pop-anthem writer. The label is called “Neon Gold” and the artist I’m still babbling about is “Loui Rose Allen” a.k.a. “Foxes“. Who could imagine that a 22 years old musician could rise from the comet tail of artists like “Marina & The Diamonds” / “Passion Pit” or “Ellie Goulding“. Her debut single was released a little month ago, but the people behind “Neon Gold” promise, that we’ll hear a lot more of this stuff.
And now…I stop writing useless junk.
And now brace yourself for an insane good remix of her work. Thanks to “Pyramid”. Furthermore I’m not ashamed to tell you, that I hope people will do as good reworks of Foxes’ stuff as these guys did!
