L´amour et la violence – Sebastian Tellier

3 October 2018

Un piano abre esta canción de Sebastian Tellier en la cual reflexiona sobre que hizo todo este tiempo con su vida. 

Buscado intencional o inconscientemente, la estructura de la canción funciona un poco como un time lapse de esa vida…

Benediction – August Alsina

2 October 2018

“Started off in the streets / We would take collection from the fiends / People dying all around me / So I gave you my testimony.” August Alsina often wears emotions on his sleeves musically and personally. It’s a trait that characterizes so many of us in a cruel, hurtful, and often unforgiving world…

Generation Why – Weyes Blood

2 October 2018

We need people like Weyes Blood on this world, desperately.

We need someone to remind us of beauty, someone who can speak to our hearts on the days the rain drowns the soul, we need people like her, people who remember the amazing beauty of the human condition, the incredible miracle that is being here, alive…

Ye – Burna Boy

2 October 2018

I would say you have to be a Nigerian to understand why this song bangs so much but then I’ll be going against the purpose of my playlist in the first place; music that brings people together regardless of Cultural background, Language, ethnicity, race, borders etc…

Shut Up (You Miss Me) – Doll Skin

2 October 2018

Doll Skin is a group I stumbled upon while walking from stage to stage at warped tour. Alex Snowden happened to be playing a face melting solo, I stopped in my tracks, called the rest of my friends over and we rocked out to four of the most bad ass girls tearing up the stage…

Faded Away (feat. Icona Pop) – SWACQ Remix – Sweater Beats, Icona Pop, SWACQ

2 October 2018

I get a lot of track submissions. Some are good; some are bad. Some are downright ridiculous. They span all different genres and styles, from artists with hundreds of thousands of streams to those with virtually none. It’s always exciting listening to the latest track to land in my inbox (and I do genuinely listen to every one!), and I never know what to expect when I follow that Spotify link into the unknown…

Rsvp – LOVEONFRIDAY

2 October 2018

Rsvp is the latest release from R&B singer and songwriter LOVEONFRIDAY. The track features a smooth beat and wavy vocals from the Texas native. His lyrics are not exactly clear at times, as he uses the beat and a sort of “mumble rap” to carry his flow…

Palmwine – Mo’Believe

2 October 2018

We jellyfish like to party like any other creatures.  When the current is just right and there’s an abundance of a favored food source, we join together in a big bloom.  It’s nice to see your friends and neighbors enjoying themselves and forgetting their sea of troubles while reading the peaceful, soothing waves…

I Don’t Stand a Ghost of a Chance With You – Joe Pass

2 October 2018

Bringing back some good ol’ jazz this week. 

For a virtuoso of Joe Pass’s stature, there are terribly few people who still listen to him. Considered one of the greatest jazz guitarists of the 20th century, Joe Pass is not unlike his contemporaries…

That’s the Way of the World – Earth, Wind, and Fire

2 October 2018

I can remember hearing Earth, Wind, and Fire (EWF) aka the “Elements” every Saturday morning as a kid growing up. One of my father’s favorite groups. And understandably so. EWF took jazz, soul, gospel, pop and more and wrapped it up in one psychedelic, mystical package…

Ain’t No Mountain – Offer Nissim & The Bitches

2 October 2018

Get ready to dance party people because this week we got a major party anthem based on a classic hit.

The track puts a modern day dance heavy update to “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye & Tami Terrell and I must say that I am exceeding impressed and am addicted to the many flavors this song provides…

Love and Death – Ebo Taylor

2 October 2018

Ebo Taylor, now 82 years old, is a Ghanian musician who has been actively performing for sixty years. He was a notable highlife and Afro-Beat musician in West Africa in the 70’s, but only in the last decade has he begun receiving international attention…
