My Toy Box



My Toy Box is an electro pop badmanz that sounds like the british baby of Calvin Harris , Metro Station and 3OH!3.
The frontman Matt , 18 , is a one man machine with him programming and singing on all of his tracks. His programming is hotter than a fiesta in mexico , with his skills making a sickly sweet voice which any " top 40" lover would adore.
He currently has his single SHH on itunes , which is pretty damn good for a brighton boy.
His innovative and lovingly repetitive lyrics in " Shake It Off" are suprisingly catchy and would blow the " UK's number 1" out of your sight and out of your mind.
His music is for the digital generation , and my top three for him would be :
1. Shake It Off
2. Shh
3.This summer

Henry Homesweet - Until I Sleep




I am usually oblivious to chiptune , but Henry Homesweet intrigued me. Like a few before him ( casio kid etc) , he changed his chiptune for the better by adding vocals.
yes , they may be at the end of the song but they make the song flow in a trance like manner.
Until I Sleep has a rave like feel to it but still keeps the foundations of chiptune intact ; you need to be on acid to like it.
The lyrics at the end are deeply programmed , probably to hide the fact that Henry's balls haven't dropped. Or maybe he does sound like james bond in real life?
By keeping vocals at the end it satisfies both chiptune lovers and chiptune haters. It makes the song listenable to by lovers of clubland or Hardcore Till I Die.
Top 3 for Henry Homesweet.
1. Until I Sleep
2. Pocket Monster
3. Lullabye
