Somewhat new at this... But hello!

Hiyah,

I've never been a part of a music forum before so hopefully this will be fun. Although making music was a really large part of my childhood, I'm not particularly knowledgeable about artists or what music is out there. I just sort of enjoy coming across things, picking up bands here and there from my friends or people I meet. I enjoy using music to brainstorm story ideas.

I will say I've come here looking for some answers and to learn more about what's out there. I'm pretty open to new music and I'm hoping to expand my horizons here. I'll be honest and say that a specific question has brought me here, but I'm not entirely sure where I would ask it. Where in the forums would I post a question about a genre if I don't know what it's called or if it even is genre? I don't want to upset anyone and post it somewhere I shouldn't.

Thanks and looking forward to learning some!

Welcome, either ask it in General Music or just go ahead and ask us in here.

Haha, nice! Thanks for the welcome! Alrighty, I'll give it a shot and try to not sound confusing or stupid. I heard this song called "No more disguise" By Thievery corporation, and I thought it was amazing.

I looked at more of their work and at similar artists but it didnt capture what I was searching for. What I have found is a lot of bossa nova, chill jazz music (which I am digging), but what I am searching for is more of the atmosphere of the song, the old school hollywood(dont know how else to describe it) sound of the swelling strings and the vocals. "Diamonds are forever" is the only other song I can think of that remotely has what I'm trying to find. Sorry this is so vague and thank you for showing interest.

Sounds like you'd probably like Combustible Edison. This track's instrumental but they have a female vocalist as well.

It doesn't have any strings in it (unless you count the guitar and bass), but here's some cool atmospheric noir jazz stuff called Heroin and Your Veins you might enjoy. It was the first thing that came to mind when I was reading your description before checking out the track.
