_Fyfe Dangerfield – She Needs Me (Music Video)

If you read the Vinyl and Vodka magazine and listened to our first Vodkast, you will see that we featured “When We Walk In The Room” in the playlist and he was included in the “You Oughtta Know” spread.

Fyfe Dangerfield is refreshing, which is why I like him. His new single “She Needs Me” is from his album ‘Fly Yellow Moon’ out January 18th. I love what I’m hearing so far and the music video is simple and fantastic.

_Vodkast #1: The Wasted Tapes

It is often said that behind every great man there’s a great woman.  John had Yoko, Adam had Eve, and Bill had Monica (insert joke about Bill having Monica).  Likewise, every great music blog needs its own mix series.

_Fyfe Dangerfield – When You Walk In The Room

When you, floating along through your day to day mortal being suddenly walk straight into a trap that any catchy song has so carefully placed for you, it seems like all in life is nothing compared to the wise lyrics or peppy beat of this all consuming tune. This tune, this anthem that has completely stolen your heart and thoughts and kept them for itself to selfishly goad and claim for its own.

This happens often. And this my friends, is going to happen to you. “When You Walk In The Room” is the newest release from Guillemots founding member Fyfe Dangerfield‘s highly anticipated album Fly Yellow Moon, and this track is truly an earworm at it’s best. The instant it starts you feel slightly guilty for somehow not knowing the words to do it justice by singing along. Don’t worry though, with a couple listens you’ll be belting “I want you endlessly” just as loud as he is.

So give this song a listen, in fact, give it a few. Chew it over… think about it a little bit, and admire the truly candid way it captures an intrinsic feeling that you yourself can give meaning to. Also, think about picking up Fly Yellow Moon when it debuts this coming January. I smell a New Year’s resolution coming to fruition?
