Dark Days – Fat Freddy’s Drop
12 September 2017
From the Album, Based on a True Story, the Gentlemen at Fat Freddy’s deliver to us a powerful message, without ego straight from the heart, to me this is truth. Can I see myself in that split second before I speak in anger, and decide to speak from the heart without the need to win, can i speak my truth? Maybe….sometimes.

Jazz (We’ve Got) – A Tribe Called Quest
12 September 2017
This song is a primarily example of their music, because it brings all the right elements of that movement – and also, of what we value in “Music to Dali & Jay-Z lovers”: the peaceful vibes, the jazzy sound (with a sample from Jimmy McGriff), the intriguing lyrics.

Player’s Ball – Outkast
9 September 2017
This record was the beginning of a whole new era in the south for music. It was proof that southern rappers could actually put out real hip hop. It gave validation to all of the southern rappers to come. After this record the south was here for the long hall in hip hop and able to do more than just make dance music with a few chants and a bunch of big bass.

When I’m Down – Chris Cornell
9 September 2017
What can I say? I miss Chris Cornell. I know I’m not alone in that sentiment. His passing affected me in a way that I never saw coming. I had no desire to sing or play a guitar for 3 weeks… that’s the tremendous amount of loss that I felt, and that’s how I know his music belongs here.

My House – Sister Sparrow and The Dirty Birds
9 September 2017
Picture this: Aretha Franklin’s POWER + Joss Stone’s GROOVE + Janis Joplin’s RASPINESS + a KILLER GUITAR SOLO to match… and you’ve got Sister Sparrow and The Dirty Birds.

That’s Where It’s At – Sam Cooke
9 September 2017
“The Man Who Invented Soul” and “Mr. Soul”… You just can’t have Soul without Sam Cooke! If you don’t know his music, you’re missing out. He is a major influence on artists in several genres, and if you listen to him, you’ll know why.

That Wasn’t Me – Brandi Carlile
9 September 2017
Brandi Carlile’s performance is a powerful contradiction. Her voice is clearly trained with bursts of seemingly uncontrolled raw emotion. Perfect for “That Wasn’t Me” which seems to say “#sorrynotsorry” in the most loving way possible. It’s an argument that needs no rebuttal.

Young Embrace (Um Abraco Da Mocidade) – Azymuth
9 September 2017
Azymuth, from the 70’s funk fusion era in Brazil, brings such a strong groove and harmony that it’s hard to believe it’s only a trio. The song starts with a simple – but unbelievably groovy – organ line, and it gradually and mysteriously builds until the end.

North Gate – Ohbliv

Turnin Me Up – BJ the Chicago Kid
9 September 2017
Just as the title suggests, the music turns up the listener’s energy level while delivering a slow laid back dance groove. BJ’s rich falsetto vocals are reminiscent of the Reverend Al Green.

9 September 2017
Talented singer and producer Iman Omari declares, “if it’s not on your level, then why don’t you just let it be,” before the sweet trumpet line introduces the head-nod inducing beat.
