In my search for new 2011 releases, I listened to one of Blocsonic’s “netblocs”, which is basically a compilation album with tracks from their own label as well as other netlabels. One of the songs I heard was “The Commonfield” by Emerald Park. I loved it – the song was essentially a perfect catchy pop tune. “The Commonfield” comes from the album For Tomorrow, an album originally released in 2008 by the Swedish pop group.
In 2010, netlabel 23 Seconds re-released the album for free and included a couple of bonus tracks. I snapped up the album immediately after hearing “The Commonfield” and was pleased as punch to discover that the rest of the album is full of catchy pop tunes. There’s a lot of vocal harmonies to be found on this album, backed by a big instrumental sound.
So, not a new release for 2011, but definitely a great album to download. You can find it – 100% free – on the album release page on 23 Seconds.
