All the Playlists

Kim’s Variations I – Michele Nobler

25 September 2017

Poetry. And magic. This is what you can find in this piano solo track. The whole song is a crescendo of overwhelming emotions, that takes you by hand and bring you far away. Let your heart get filled by this notes.

Time in a Bottle – Jim Croce

25 September 2017

Jim Croce’s music was pure poetry. The poignant singer/songwriter died in September of 1973, just as his career was taking off. His third studio album, You Don’t Mess Around With Jim, was released in April of 1972.

Love Is love – Versis

25 September 2017

“Love is love”, it’s simple like that.

If you truly feel it, you will automatically share it, enjoy life and respect people.

“Love is love”. It doesn’t need much more than these three words and an one minute and a half song, like this. As long as love is what keeps your heart “flowing, going, jumping, pumping”, you won’t need more than this to understand.

Nightswimming – R.E.M

25 September 2017

I remember hearing at the time how this beautiful ballad was created.  The Piano melody written first by Mike Mills, then recorded onto a cassette tape, Stipe playing the circular melody over and over while driving around for about a week bought forth the lyrics and attached them to this beautiful tune, describing a time gone by “These things they go away, replaced by everyday”.

Lesson Learn’d – Wu-Tang Clan ft. Inspektah Deck & RedMan

25 September 2017

Having announced their new album The Saga Continues last month with the release of lead single “People Say,” Wu-Tang drops the second track from the project and shares the artwork and track listing.

Renee – SALES

22 September 2017

When I first came across sales I was greeted by this lighthearted jingle. The catchy guitar riff held my attention long enough to be swept away by the voice of Lauren Morgan and the minimalist production of her copilot Jordan Shih.

About You – XXYYXX

22 September 2017

This song right here is a classic in the chillwave sub genre. Everyone’s heard it, you just missed it. When this song dropped in 2012 Marcell Everett went from bedroom producer to underground star.

Warm Water – Banks

22 September 2017

Banks warm water is minimalism at its best. The production isn’t overly flashy but it’s smart and calculated. Changing only when necessary to the song. Banks smooth voice glides along the instrumental in almost a whisper like fashion as she seduces her person of interest to come home with her.

Twelve – Abhi//Dijon

22 September 2017

Ok I’m going to call this one my favorite song as well even though the first one technically is my favorite song, I just can’t help myself. Abhi Dijon’s twelve is a sexy R&B cut that I can only describe as cute and I mean that in the most endearing way possible. With Abhi handling most of the production and Dijon on vocals this duo is unmatched. Delivering groovy future rnb breaks time and time again.

Wheels Within Wheels – Penguin Café

20 September 2017

One of the cool things about being a Music to curator is that you get to hear the tracks that other curators have selected – and they’re always bloody amazing.  There’s just so much music “out there” it would be impossible to know it all, so to have a group of amazing music lovers hand selecting a track a week just means that we get exposed to the really good stuff!

Too Far Down – Hüsker Dü

20 September 2017

And so another musician dies and we look to their music for comfort.  I had read about Grant Hart dying of cancer at 56 and while I knew of Hüsker Dü, I’d never really listened to their music. It took Chris from the Burn A Million Miles playlist to hip me to this track.

Dear To Me – Electric Guest

20 September 2017

This song really makes me think about all my friendships, especially the ones that I don’t enough effort into them when I should. I really want to dedicate this song to all my close friends because they don’t know how “Dear” they are to me.
