Midnight World Pop Scout-24: Amy Winehouse; Guerre; Bachelorette; Lindstrom & Christabelle

Edition 24 comes with two songs from Amy Winehouse, who died in London today, two young acts from down under, and a collaboration from Norway.

RIP Amy Winehouse. Troubled and undeniably talented, I see no point in blathering about the matter. She put out a couple of very good albums with a few brilliant songs. And "Rehab" is one:



And "Back to Black"



Guerre (AKA Lavurn Lee) is an ambient, electro-pop/soul beatsmith and singer from Sydney, Australia. He released the 7 track album Darker My Love in June 2011. Guerre's music seems perfect for those late, weekend night moments.



There also is a remix set of the album tracks available at Bandcamp.
