What is a great new song?

Nietzsche once said that "without music life would be a mistake"
I cannot quite imagine myself doing anything without music. From waking up to bed time, somehow I need music. One student once put that "music made everything better" she was right
Unfortunately it had been quite long since the last time I heard and felt excited about a new song and that put me in a state of acid-melancholy and all I hear seems like a bad taste copy of something else making existence an interminable paramnesia or, as Émile Boirac (1851–1917)quoted in his book "L'Avenir des sciences psychiques", a Déjà vu. But I have heard something that gave reason to anticipation. It was from a new singer called Karina Buhr in particular a song oddly named Telekphonen but, though the lyrics are sung in a drawled cute German and you cannot understand a word except "telephone" the whole length, the harmony comes with a serious handful of jazz/fusion chords mixed with a light 40's or 50's French singers feeling.
Check it by yourselves and have fun!
