All the Playlists

Lovely – Sonder

31 January 2018

I was struggling a lot figuring out which song I wanted to follow up ‘My God Has a Telephone’ because I didn’t want to drastically change the mood. On the other hand I have been looking for an opportunity to include Sonder or Brett Faiyaz on this playlist because they became such a integral part of my music life. Their song Too Fast was featured on the promo for season 2 of Atlanta, which spiked their listeners on all platforms.

Growing Up – Igor Longhi

31 January 2018

I’m having a bit of a piano week – actually I’m having a bit of an Igor Longhi week! 😉  His beautiful melancholic track Broken Soul is featured on the Music to Grieve to list and while running through his catalog I feel in love with this track too.

MLK – Peewee Longway

31 January 2018

When I first heard this track I had to share it with everyone I could. Ive been following  Quincy Lamont Williams, better known by his stage name Peewee Longway for quite a while now. And he has done nothing short of impress me with every project he releases. 

Perth – Beirut

31 January 2018

I don’t think words can do justice to how much I love this song. I am obsessed with it more than I humanly should be…

Bad Law – Sondre Lerche

31 January 2018

I’ve been following Sondre Lerche ever since his first album, Faces Down, which I bought on a whim at the time, only knowing one or two really great tracks. The first time I listened to it, I was in the car driving somewhere, of course….

Coffee – Sylvan Esso

31 January 2018

Let’s talk mornings. I don’t know about you, but it’s usually hard for me to get out of bed in the morning. I’m not a morning person. I need motivation, like coffee, or really great music…

Reaching – David Karsten Daniels

31 January 2018

David Karsten Daniels is one of the best songwriters out there, and he’s one of the most creative and interesting musicians I know of. This song from his 2016 album, Kaleidoscope, is one of its catchiest, with its upbeat rhythm, addictive chorus, and perfectly placed guitar and piano…

Thunder Clatter – Wild Cub

31 January 2018

If you need a song to listen to on Mondays to put you in a good mood, this song will do just that. It has an ecstatic vibe that’s contagious. Within seconds you’ll be grinning, and you may have an uncontrollable urge to move to its rapturous beat…

Rock Your Body – Justin Timberlake

30 January 2018

In the early 2000’s, (a.k.a the post boy band era) Justin Timberlake was looking to make a name for himself as well as to make the transition from teen heart throb  to adult solo pop star. 

Window Seat – Erykah Badu

30 January 2018

As we’ve seen with her recent Vulture interview, Erykah Badu is not afraid of a little controversy. Our track this week comes from the Godmother of Soul herself. 

“Window Seat” is the lead single from her 2010 album, New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh). It is the perfect slow jam for a Sunday morning, with a twinkling harp and a rhythm that will instantly get you moving. In the song, Badu struggles with her simultaneous desire to get away and relax alone but have someone missing and waiting for her back home. 

White Gloves – Khruganbin

30 January 2018

Let’s take a step back. Let’s remember what it’s like to experience something new for the first time. It’s mysterious. It’s engaging. You end up in this little bubble that keeps getting bigger and you can’t get enough. This is the feeling I get every time I listen to Khruangbin. They have this sound that is so comforting, it melts away everything that is wrong with the world. It’s almost as though they have created a little universe with their music that only promotes happiness. Seriously try to listen to this song without a smile on your face.

The Game Of Love – Daft Punk

30 January 2018

“The Game Of Love” is a great example of everything that makes Daft Punk such a great and iconic duo, the song is catchy and yet sad, the melody is beautiful and so well written that days, weeks or even years after hearing the song it could still pop into your head at a certain time and remind you to listen to it one more time. It’s also very easy to remember, even a bit haunting, like heartbreak songs need to be.
