I Tried – Hanita Bhambri
Es increíble porque yo justamente estuve a punto de participar en el
proyecto Aloft Stars para América Latina y me pareció asombroso lo que
podías ganar, tan solo imaginen obtener un acuerdo con Universal Music
para grabar una canción, un videoclip y ser parte de su catálogo, sin
duda quedé impactado!…
Christmas Lights – Coldplay
It’s going to be particularly hard to write about this track: not for the track in itself but for Coldplay. Coldplay has been my favourite band looonggg before they became everyone’s favourite band, long before they decided to go pop and use electronic instruments…
Venus – HOUNDTRACK, Too Much
I’m laughing ‘cos I’m going back through the tracks over the last few weeks and the energy level has been rising slowly but surely – I guess a reflection of just how much external input I need to keep going. Oh – not that it’s that dramatic – it’s just that as we slide into the end of the year I find that I’m pretty knackered and need more energetic music to keep me in the zone…
It’s Enough – Lenny Kravitz
“I just thought somehow things would get better…” Sigh. Unfortunately, according to rocker Lenny Kravitz, things haven’t gotten better. What is the Grammy-winner referring to? The utterly flawed state of the world – violence, political corruption, and social issues among a host of other problems…

Wintersong – Sarah McLachlan
The holidays can be a time for wonder, joy, rebirth and all that wonderful shit. But they can also seem dark, depressing, and a reminder of everything we feel we’re missing. For Sarah McLachlan, it’s both, as she sings of her lost love, and their imaginary Christmas day together…
Another Shooter – Rene Trossman
The Chicago Tribune website has a page dedicated to a weekly running total of shooting victims, both fatal and non-fatal, in the city. That such a total is needed is enough to tell you that Chicago has a very serious problem with gun crime. In 2017, there were a total of 3,386 victims of shootings – on average, more than nine every day…
Strong Look (Codec Remix) – Jett
So deep, so sexy, so cool. That happens to be everything that this week’s track embodies as we dance our way into the curation with “Strong Look” by Jett as remixed by Codec…
Bailando – Albert Pla
Quevedo decía que siempre había de conservarse el temor, mas jamás debía mostrarse.
En aparente oposición, Bergamin postulaba que mientras el valor espera, el miedo va buscar…
Summertime – Angelique Kidjo
OK I know there’s a myriad of covers of this Gershwin classic, and I already have featured Deep Dive’s version of it on this collection, but this puts a West African twist on the same song, and is beautifully different with its acapella style…
Yagmur Yağar – Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra
“Barcelona Gipsy Klezmer Orchestra (BGKO) is a band created in 2012 in Barcelona, Spain. The band draws on many musical influences, including Klezmer music, Jazz Manouche, and Roma music…
Dear Life – Happy Walters
The Sample alone on this track got me open lol. So today’s submission comes from rapper Happy Walters where he raps about his current situation but is on the road to stardom and greatness with help from his loyal supporters that always support his performances but showing up to every event…
