Closer (Akouo Remix)- Thief

I made the decision to listen to this version of the track when I saw the link, rather than go and listen to the original first. Immediately I was was hooked and felt it stood up as a song on its own, which is always a good sign when it comes to remixes, which can often be simply remixes for the sake of remixes. Labeled on soundcloud as ‘bleepstep’, its glitchy and unexpected, but not…

Source Daniel Bedingfield relapses again by deciding  to get naked for his new video, where he appears with a sexy, beautiful naked girl, playing the game of love, passion and fury.

You may have heard his song “Garden” which is featured on this album, backing the recent Nokia Lumia advert. He is definitely a new artist that wades in the mainstream and strides in the underground. Listening to this album for the first time after only hearing his song “Garden” made me realise his…
