Imagine – Faime

31 July 2018

This is Faime’s debut single which combines 80’s groovy disco vibes with a modern vocal chop drop. It’s called “imagine” and takes the listener on a soothing experience – perfect to drive to, chill to, or even go for a run!…

Dönence – Barış Manço

31 July 2018

Although he didn’t have an outstanding voice, Barış Manço became one of the most popular figures in modern Turkish music history. In a time when his country was swimming in a sea of political madness, he managed to hold back his personal view and reach out to every single possible listener, no matter what origin or religion they were coming from…

Never Get Over You – PJ Morton (feat. Busta Rhymes)

31 July 2018

Do you remember watching Mike Tyson come out in to the boxing ring and end fights before they ever started? In 1988 he knocked out then-undefeated Michael Spinks in 91 seconds. A minute and a half to obliterate a a grown man, a professional, and a really good professional at that. PJ Morton and Busta Rhymes followed a similar mold on this track, Never Get Over You…

Old Pine – Ben Howard

31 July 2018

To keep the summer spirit alive, “Old Pine” by Ben Howard is this week’s track. It is probably one of the most calming songs I’ve ever heard, with a guitar instrumental and vocals at the intro perfect for putting you in a state of reflection. It draws on a kind of nostalgia specific to summer, because that tends to be the season where you feel most careless, free, and alive…

The Signifying Monkey – Johnny Otis feat. Shuggie Otis

31 July 2018

The way of the jellyfish is simplicity.  We jellyfish aren’t capable of double-talk and trickery. We are easy to read and easy to avoid if you’re looking out.  

Some creatures (and even more humans) are clever and can talk circles around you, perhaps insulting you right to your face, with you none the wiser…

Children – Justin Bieber

31 July 2018

If you are not a fan of Justin Bieber’s music or just can’t stand him that’s fine but you cannot deny that the album ‘Purpose’ is a great piece of work! You can feel his growth as an artist on each track and this is what is most impressive about the album…

Septembre – La Femme

31 July 2018

Así como los niños tienen que volver a la escuela al final del verano, Septiembre manda a los adultos europeos a sus propios colegios. Trabajos que devoran las tardes azules de playa, universidades que persiguen, detienen y multan cualquier pensamiento creativo si se sale de la plantilla Windows o Mac  y amores que se actualizan en el App Store…

Say My Name (Instrumental) – Odesza

31 July 2018

I originally had this track lined up for a Save the World! entry later this year, but Cam from Music to Practice Yoga’s June feature sparked the Odesza fever in me and so I had to bump it to the front of the queue!…

Logos – King Krule

31 July 2018

I have no idea of how to describe the genre of this specific song neither the type of music King Krule makes; and apparently I’m not the only one. Seriously, I googled “King Krule genre” and I got: indie rock; jazz fusion; dark wave; punk jazz; post-punk; trip hop; and hip hop… That’s crazy and that’s awesome…

The Greed (feat. Shay Marzelli) – Vicky G

31 July 2018

Singer/songwriter Vicky G hails from the suburbs of Long Island, New York, where her passion for music and writing first arose. She embodies that true New York hustle and grind mentality and is fighting to claim a spot at the top…

It’s Love – Jill Scott

31 July 2018

Have you ever found yourself connecting to a song and begun noticing other souls around you connecting to the song? You realize in that moment, everyone around you is vibrating off that same energy? Amazing, right?…

Mystery of Love – Sufjan Stevens

31 July 2018

I have not seen the movie that Mystery of Love features in, but this song makes me want to watch it. 

I know I am not the only person who listens to a song–that they have recently fallen in love with–on repeat, endlessly. To me, this is that track right now: my go-to. Since it was written for the movie, the track chronicles its film’s story all through its length.
