OK, companion thread to the [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/so-what-sort-of-music-do-you-like ]"What sort of music do you like"[/url].
Individual tracks you just heard for the first time in the last 7 days , whether technically 'new'or not, that you just loved, googled, bought, downloaded, shazamed on the spot etc.
Has to be new to you.
Has to be in the last week, so no trauling back to you favourite thing of the year etc.
I'll start with this I heard earlier in the week.
EDIT: And no judging, can be All Saints and as long as it moved you, if you've not heard it before it counts.
Pumarosa - Priestess.
Had never heard of the band before this week but will prob be buying a ticket to see them on the strength of that one track!
I (re)discovered English Rose by the Jam on Spotify and subsequently ordered All Mod Cons off Discogs.
Filler track; I tapped my foot though
This poppy number
and this less so poppy number..
And a nice chilled out bit of housey electronic whatever genre they call it these days bollox
It's the lovely bit around the 5 min mark which got me.
Well if we are talking seriously moved as opposed to "ooh that's good" then it would be quite some years ago - soprano Dawn Upshaw singing "No word from Tom" from Stravinsky's opera "The Rake's Progress".
In traditional stw music thread style I'm going to partly ignore the OP's criteria - the sad fact is I'm not discovering new music every week, so this was a while ago, but it meets the brief otherwise and was the first thing I thought of when I read the thread title.
It's not the kind of music I usually listen to, but the first time I heard it I was blown away, proper shiver-down-the-spine time. If this is new to any of you, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did: James Blake - Limit to your Love.
Well if we are talking seriously moved
Yeah, I was trying to find words for what I meant, 'excited' might be a better term.
My track made me stop what I was doing, look at the radio, click to the 6M website, and download it immediately on Deezer. When I listen I still get excited by it. If that makes sense.

I'll be honest, I knew it would happen. 😀

This is a bit like someone starting a thread "Post your favourite Bowie song" and me going "Oh, I don't like Bowie, but I like The Jam, so here's Strange Town" innit? 😆

No.
Because that would be someone ignoring the spirit of a thread and being unnecessarily confrontational in order to derail the thing entirely and turn it into a pointless and pedantic argument, getting in the way of the content that people come to the thread for. And we'd never do that here, oh no.

Was it in your spotify "discover weekly" last week by any chance? It came up on mine and I was also impressed
Sylvan Esso are the last lot that have made me stop what I was doing and properly listen, nicely pared back but still complex on subsequent playing. Seeing Future Islands perform for the first time took me back as well, completely undemonstrative musicians fronted by a total force of nature.
I didn't make the rules!

Yep! 😆
One of the algorithm-bashers must have added it into some dataset or other this week...
Normally hate the bugger but quite liked that 'party like the Russians' Robbie Williams track this morning
Disturbed - The Sound of Silence.
Not a heavy metal fan normally

Heard a track on Gilles Peterson on Saturday, stopped what I was doing, turned the sub on, turned it up. Crazy beats, man.
Found it on YT and had a couple more listens.
Listened to more Mick Jenkins, and some more BadBadNootGood, found it was definitely the BBNG that I liked about "Drowning"!
Onto this, love the track that starts at 13:00. A mate plays pretty good jazz sax, and I've got a bit of a soft spot for it!

Well someone was going to.
Lyn Collins: "Rock Me Again & Again & Again & Again & Again & Again"

I discovered BadBadNotGood a few weeks ago, have since enjoyed some very happy listening, IV is a cracking album.

Brilliant! it's STW's Darude - Sandstorm 😆
Five Years by Bowie. The day he died I went to put Heroes on, clicked the wrong song-id never heard it before- and had a massive cry;No idea why. It's an immediate entry to my top 100. I just listened to it again there and I'm still moved.
Also, Nowhere To Run by Martha Reeves when I was 14. Had winklepickers and a Ben Sherman by the weekend.
