@justineem15 - They're just different styles of music. To compare them would be the same as comparing a hammer to a spanner. Both are from the same group but serve very different purposes. I happen to like both of them. I don't see any logic in comparing them at all. Lol... as if you can ONLY listen to one type of music or ONE singer. What poor world that would be!
I was watching a Lana Del Rey video minutes ago...and i just realized that both artists have a "Lynchian" universe... even if their music is quite different... there's an invisible link somewhere between both artists... but Anna Calvi his more into Rock n roll music than Lana...
But if i have to choose one ...it will be Anna Calvi... no bullshit , no exagerated hype...
I'm quite surprised to be (one of) the only to talk bout it... it's maybe because most people who knows Lana don't know Ana
@BohemianConspiracy I apologize for the profanity, but please don't bring up legitimate artists with actual, influential bodies of work and compare them to someone who doesn't even seem to be planning to release an album. I have no problem with Lana del Rey, I just think she's miles away from Lynch and Calvi. You should check out Chelsea Wolfe or Mount Eerie's latest album for a good Lynchian vibe.
@minusculemajuscule but i'm not the only one to talk about Lynch and Hitchock references in Lana del Rey... it came from a musical critic... and to some extend i think that it was quite right.... u know to reassure you... u can be influenced by some great names and not do an excellent job... there's millions of those exemples...it happens everyday...

NME is the only magazine that brings new and excellent music from around the world, anyone over the age of 15 does not care about Selena Gomez or Bieber!
@2010peters Fuck NME, you want MOJO man. NME is a pretty pop-leaning magazine these days, alot of the bands/artists you find in there now are just commercial whores. I'd recommend MOJO, it's got a lot on older artists, but it still picks out the best of the best of new musicians too, and it spans every genre, the only requirement is that the sounds are good. And no, I don't work for MOJO lol.
What's with this British vs. American music? I love music period and in my opinion there is no country better than another in terms of music. How can any music lover make such a statement. Music = love.
Dear Anna Calvi, As a 40 year old man, I have been to a lot of gigs, and am quite blase about live music these days. You have absolutely blown me away tonight . I felt utterly mesmerised through the entire gig. I still feel like I have been enchanted by a witch. Incredible. If you do not become a megastar there is no justice in this world.
And people actually watch and like X factor . Unbelievable.
Anna is under Brian Eno's wing. Soon she may appear alongside the likes of another alt-Rock Brit group we all love -Coldplay.........I can see Anna sing a duet with Chris Martin now............................
@damkring WhY don't you look up your own information asshole? From Wikipedia : Coldplay are a British alternative rock band formed in 1996 by lead vocalist Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland at University College London. What would you classify Coldplay as?
very good song and artist, the siren chorus reminds me so much of the chorus in Siouxsie and the Banshees´song " Candyman", I am sure she must have heard it
@coolbritannia1979 Do you think ? I listened to Anna Calvi's whole record and i didn't find anything original in. All has already be heard before and in a better way by Polly Jean or others. not bad, but nothing particularly special here, to my mind...
If you dudes can get past the fact that she's obviously stunningly beautiful, she also happens to be an amazing guitar player. This video shows none of that. Kick ass song though...love it. Love you Anna!
@rakgtr Anna Calvi is one of few examples, that british music is still alive, but for sure is not way better than american music. wake up! (and i am not an american)
@vtelenie You should wake up.. rakgtr has a point.. There are numerous examples the Brits simply do it better (and I'm not British)! I think there are more unique artists among them, the music is more real, more powerful.. Best rock bands def come from GB and so on... But well, everybody has their own opinion so no hard feelings:)
@rakgtr Thats certainly not reflected in worldwise music sales In the top 40 selling albums 10 million unis were sold by Brit artisis worldwide whereas American artists sold over 56 million units in worldwide sales. Better? That my be your personal opinion, bur otherwise its just not true.
@LiberTBo is it really how many copies a record sells that determines whether or not is good? cause in that case I might be listening to terrible music.
@rakgtr I can honestly say, stop classifying music. Notes aren't British, or Indian, or Mexican. Love isn't from a country. Feelings don't have borders. Wake up.
@kortag Fulsome sentiments indeed, but quite wrong. Nature and environment stamp their indelible mark; how could they not? Especially so when the music breaking new ground.
@kortag so you reckon all the music shops should just throw CD's etc into a pile in the middle of the floor rather than trying to help someone find new music they might like?
@rakgtr : when it comes to "british" music, there's only the music from England relevant.
There's no good music from Scotland and music from Wales is just the worst crap.
One can't even say that England has good music because all the music from the North (Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield) is so totally shitty. Bands from Birmingham and Bristol are to neglect.
The last 40 years only London bands were really good and here only the one from London's West End. East End bands are worst crap!!
@MrMaralisa with regard to your (totally uninformed and incorrect) comment about music from the North: Arctic Monkeys? Oasis? The Smiths? Joy Division?
@duckandcover225 : It's considered to be an answer @rakgtr who claims that music has something to do with geography (or anything like that), that "better" or "worse" music has something to do with er, meridians (or anything like that).
He's been so confusing to me that I searched for revenge and tried to confuse him.
Sorry, if I did confuse you, this was not my intention...
@MrMaralisa Um. The Smiths are from Manchester, The Arctic Monkeys are from Sheffield, The Beatles are from Liverpool and all of those artists are hugely successful. I don't think that your argument stands up.
@mortuseon : It's considered to be an answer @rakgtr who claims that music has something to do with geography (or anything like that), that "better" or "worse" music has something to do with er, meridians (or anything like that).
He's been so confusing to me that I searched for revenge and tried to confuse him.
Sorry, if I did confuse you, this was not my intention...
@MrMaralisa Ishall have to disagree with you unfortunately, for the sake of mankind, that is. If in fact "London" music is so superior, how do you explain The Beatles being from Liverpool? There are many more people who would disagree with you than not.
Yet more evidence that all the good music is not in the past. Adele, Florence now her. UK women strike again what i going on over there? Even the pop singers coming out of there like Jessie J,Marina, Eliza etc are really good
@edkollin Probably it's because British labels have more of a heart and an open mind when it comes to nurturing talent and don't force them to conform to a certain sound/look for marketability, which is quite a contrast to American record labels that are just greedy and absolutely nothing else. But there are unique female talents who do have some mainstream exposure, Regina Spektor and Janelle Monáe coming to mind.
When I first heard this song, it blew all the other stuff on the radio away. What a song writer. The song speaks volumes about where she's coming from. Years of hard work and of honing her craft. This is the culmination of a lifetimes hard work....Sublime!
@fennessy1980 I agree entirely, she is incredible, and she's only on her debut album- think how much there is to come from her and her talent!! So exciting! To be this profound at aged 28 on a first album really blows me away.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Lynch? Godard? are you insane!? this is a fucking music video, don't devalue film, or are you the director writing about your own video, if that's the case you are Pathetic!
@IROT1334 No, Im not insane, nor am I a pathetic Director. Im sorry my comment seemed to make you angry. I study film and see some similarities in some I've watched by those directors and this video, that's all. And just because something is a music video doesn't mean it should be de-valued being so, it's still an art and created, and room for expression. : ) I think Anna is wonderful, I hope you love her songs, if not the video.
@Leinsatiableone It's your opinion and I'm fine with it, although I suggest to discuss the matter in 10 years, when she's accomplished more than a debut album and a one time hit.
@JazzAd Yes, fair point. However, most musicians nowadays are eclectic with their musical tastes. Therefore, it is only natural for any musician to draw influences from others.
Simply fantastic sound, voice, music, and even the 'minimalistic' video!... I love this! My only regret is when MTV Italy air this track, they do not show singer's name or track title... I found it only by chance! But definitely worth the pain of searching!
i still cannot quite believe how incredibky good this song is... I'm tempted to say something a bit extreme like it's one of the two or three best songs of the last twenty years...
I saw her playing this on Jools Holland last night and I'm really impressed :) it's not normally my kind of thing but I love it! It sounded better live though... she's a damn good singer!
This is an astounding song/presentation.The pure intensity of her singing,yet so nuanced against the fullness of her guitar sound is ,well,amazing.I can hear why Nick Cave and Brian Eno are so crazy for her stuff.Wonderful.Some won't like it (a few dislikes),but that's OK,this is unique work,not pleasing to all and everyone.
loves this but don't like the hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
and the people in the background in the chorus when she says blackout, they go "wooooahhh"

@Leinsatiableone It's your opinion and I'm fine with it, although I suggest to discuss the matter in 10 years, when she's accomplished more than a debut album and a one time hit.

@JazzAd Yes, fair point. However, most musicians nowadays are eclectic with their musical tastes. Therefore, it is only natural for any musician to draw influences from others.

Simply fantastic sound, voice, music, and even the 'minimalistic' video!... I love this! My only regret is when MTV Italy air this track, they do not show singer's name or track title... I found it only by chance! But definitely worth the pain of searching!

My two cents?
Love the song, awesome voice and musicianship.
Would love to see her live as apparently the performances are a wonder to behold and the songs evolve into a different beast.
The video is very good, but her miming is horrible. It's like she's imagining shes performing at Wembley

Song: Awesome
Video: Amateur. Horrible, just horrible direction sprinkled with a few intriguing ideas.

i still cannot quite believe how incredibky good this song is... I'm tempted to say something a bit extreme like it's one of the two or three best songs of the last twenty years...
my favourite songs of the last twenty years:
the ship song,
into dust,
the dancer,
exit music
kein trink wasser
please tell me yours....

I saw her playing this on Jools Holland last night and I'm really impressed :) it's not normally my kind of thing but I love it! It sounded better live though... she's a damn good singer!

This is an astounding song/presentation.The pure intensity of her singing,yet so nuanced against the fullness of her guitar sound is ,well,amazing.I can hear why Nick Cave and Brian Eno are so crazy for her stuff.Wonderful.Some won't like it (a few dislikes),but that's OK,this is unique work,not pleasing to all and everyone.
