Vessels – Rationale

24 July 2018

Many aspects of our everyday lives are defined by the consequences of a series of choices we must make on a daily basis. These choices are often influenced by what we assume will yield the greatest end result, which choices will best benefit our careers, our social lives, our mental health…

Lady – Fela Kuti

24 July 2018

This track is a whole 13:49 (yup it’s that long!) minutes of pure vibes! People familiar with the legendary Fela Kuti’s music will be used to his long tracks…this is actually one of his shortest track…LOL but the amazing part is none of his track is a long boring listen…

Kill Your Mama – Alicia Keys

24 July 2018

Alicia Keys is obviously no stranger to making hits. What is especially amazing about this song is that the minimalism of the production and instrumentation actually enhances Keys’ magnetism. Apparently, less really can be more…

I Won’t Let You Walk Away – Mako feat. Madison Beer

24 July 2018

If you want to feel what this song is about, you need only listen to the lyrics. Madison sings, in her sweet pop voice, “I got my windows down, getting lost in the breeze, and I feel like I’m causing a fairytale… 

Pass This On – The Knife

24 July 2018

En un bar que tranquilamente podría ubicarse en Twin Peaks una drag canta con la voz de Karin.  En las mesas, unas cuantas personas indiferentes la miran cacaraquear las estrofas. Mientras, la batería Casio en plan low fi acompaña la carga psicosexual de la canción que comienza a llenar la habitación como si fuera un gas invisible…

Shake It Out – Florence and the Machine

24 July 2018

“Shake it Out” is a song that deals with pain and hurt but isn’t meant to leave the listener broken. Florence admits to writing this song while she was hungover, but for many of us maybe it’s our hangover cure…

Whatever You Want – Vasser

24 July 2018

“I can only give to you what I have already given myself.” – Yung Pueblo. 

If you practice yoga, or are interested in taking a deeper dive into your self I HIGHLY recommend Yung Pueblo’s book “Inward.” The above quote is derived from it and cannot be any more true…

Breathing Fighting Love – The Paper Kites

24 July 2018

The Paper Kites es otra de mis bandas favoritas, de igual manera tenia
tiempo que deseaba escribir algo sobre ellos, ésta vez nos toca viajar
a Melbourne, Australia, donde surgió éste grandioso proyecto formado
por Sam Bentley, Christina Lacy, David Powys, Josh Bentley y Sam
Rasmussen,..

Friday Morning – Khruangbin

24 July 2018

Nearly any track from Texas band Khruangbin (“airplane” in Thai) would fit well on the Forget Your Troubles playlist. Most of their songs are chill instrumental funk tunes, inspired by 60’s funk and jazz from Thailand. And they record in a remote barn in Burton, Texas, adding to the natural vibe of their music…

Thin Line of Blue – Karsh Kale (feat. Benny Dayal and Ankur Tewari)

24 July 2018

I think of this track as the end of a story–perhaps the end of a certain chapter in my playlist. The sheer sense of tranquillity I experience every time I listen to the track is unparalleled. The sound is fresh and nostalgic, just like the Indian Monsoons…

Ready – Niko Brim

24 July 2018

Niko Brim “The Prince of Soul Rap is possibly the next epic storyteller for the new hip-hop generation…

Red and Gold – Danielle Grubb

24 July 2018

This week I’ve been grooving to Danielle Grubb’s EP, “Venus,” which came out May of this year. She has such a unique, eclectic style, with elements of R&B, pop, rock, and funk. My favorite track on the album is “Red and Gold,” a super chill song that sets the perfect mood for long drives with the windows open…
