Slow Dancing in the Dark – Joji
In the music video for “Slow Dancing in the Dark”, Joji (born George Miller) stumbles around as a half-human, half-goat creature shot in the back by cupid’s arrow, until his legs become too weak, and he face plants on a group of white tiles, waiting to bleed out. Since its release in September, the video as amassed 30 million views…
Issues/Hold On – Teyana Taylor
For a long time, Teyana Taylor was hovering around the spotlight, but never really took centre stage. She helped choreograph Beyonce’s “Ring the Alarm” music video, has appeared in Tyler Perry movies, dropped guest vocals on Kanye West’s Dark Fantasy album and starred in his “Fade” music video.
GT40 – Lindsay Lowend
It’s been a strange week for this jellyfish. I had to swim very far out of my usual feeding zones to find the right sort of fish and was unable to rest satisfactorily. This in turn led to some very disturbing jellyfish dreams…
I Just Want to Be Your Everything – Andy Gibb
The Bee Gees were at the heart of the disco movement in the 70s and was comprised of brothers Barry, Maurice and Robin. However, the youngest Gibb brother, Andy, had his own time in the blazing hot spotlight as a teen heartthrob and disco king…
A Noite É Nossa – Rincon Sapiência
“Swag” is a thing we lack words to define, but it’s definitely something the artists & songs featured here have in common – after all, we wouldn’t mention the guy who invented swag in the name of the playlist for no reason, right?
Feels – Calvin Harris ft Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean
This week’s track is inspired by the newest playlist on the site: Music to Vibe To! Our latest curator — Noka Agudah — featured this Calvin Harris joint as her first track on the site and we just had to steal it! And you can probably guess why…
Ashabi – Mashrou’ Leila
Mashrou’ Leila beni canlı performanslarıyla ilk dakikalardan itibaren alabilmiş çok özel bir topluluk. Birkaç sene önce akşam üzeri, günün son ışıklarıyla başlayan konserde güneşin yerini yavaş yavaş spot ışıkları alırken, en ön sırada dinlemiştim kendilerini. Beyrut çıkışlı bağımsız topluluk son yıllarda şarkılarıyla olduğu kadar politik tavırları, LGBT hakları konusundaki duruşları, ırkçılığa ve dini radikalizme karşı pozisyonlarıyla da oldukça dikkat çekiyor.
I Am Her – Shea Diamond
I Am Her is a simmering Southern blues rock torch song that shoulders the enormous weight of being a woman in a world that treats women as second class citizens, shamed for their sexuality as the keepers of original sin. But there’s a difference that gives the song a jagged edge, because Shea Diamond is a black trans woman with a chequered past that would have Simon Cowell salivating down the front of his trademark half-unbuttoned shirt.
Clinchfield Rail – Jeff Przech
As a Curator here at Musicto, we not only get to chat and brainstorm with the rest of our team, whom are dotted around the globe but were lucky enough to meet and cross paths with some brilliant musicians.
This week Jeff Przech and I actually bumped into each other on Twitter and I got a chance to shoot him a few questions about his work.
