Good modern (preferably international) pop music

<< < (2/5) > >>

a pack of wolves:
For that slow, smooth sound both those videos you posted have you probably are better off with older pop. Something like this or perhaps this classic? Although this Swedish lady, a beardy Frenchman or a creepy gem from a famous American chap might work for you. Or then again you could just get dancing.

StaedlerMars:
Kate Bush: what a weirdo.

in the same vein as that Wiley song

a pack of wolves:
Well shit, if we're going there then we obviously need to go here too and this shit is absolutely mandatory. And in a kind of a way on the other side of that Wiley track you could just go all bassline. He's local to me too, which is nice! Leeds usually sucks at pop.

the_pied_piper:
Ok, fuckers, let's get on this.

Following on from Tommy's scandinavian influence is this tune or maybe this gem.

Over to the central continent we have Spain, Spain again, Portugal, France, Germany, more Germany.

Already had some good stuff from the UK so over to Asia. Japan, Japan again, South Korea, India.

Now down to Oceania (Australasia, whatever): Australia, New Zealand.

America has a hell of a lot of good pop music if you just brush away the charts from the top, for example; or maybe leave some in like this, or this. Mexico is also good, as is Argentina, likewise Brazil.

And there our whirlwind world pop tour is at an end. Hopefully something will catch your eye.

Be My Head:
Toto - great sound, great production, not too big on the guy's singing though (I'll admit I prefer ladies)
Kate Bush - I've obviously heard of her before, never *heard* her before this...yeah, kind of crazy. It's not bad though!
Sebastien Tellier - Pretty good, doesn't jump out at me a lot but there's nothing here I can dislike.
Just Timberlake - lulz, yeah, no; the beginning is okay, but his singing voice is just TOO douchey : P
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - I have to admit I kind of like this...
Mina Viva - meh, interesting bassline, but otherwise not my cup of tea
Wiley - Naaah
Bodyrox - maybe if it didn't "Feat." Luciana, because Luciana has a really idiotic sounding voice
Dizzee Rascal - Actually...not. too. bad.
T2 - decent


I forgot about another awesome pop group I like

Feel free to recommend more space pop from the 80s.

@ the_pied_piper, I'm going to listen to all of those and get back to you!

Edit:

Röyksopp - meh
The whitest boy alive- good sound, a little repetitive but that comes with the territory
Russian Red - Great! Reminds me of Kaki King a little bit
Tony Carreira - No..not really my style.
MYLENE FARMER - I would listen again...
Sportfreunde Stiller - pretty good! nice orange amp..
Cassandra Steen - nah
Perfume - It's pretty good
parachute - not really my thing

As far as Japanese pop music goes, I'm already pretty well covered here.

fun. - decent
Sara Bareilles- not my thing
Joshua Radin- don't like this..
Steel Train - meh
Juana Molina - interesting voice, might decide to check it out further
Jota Quest - decent sans the male vocals
