This song is the buzz of electric lights whizzing past your car as you drive into the city, the warm white glow from your headlights, the electric red sheen of your car. It’s an old car, certainly, but one that’s been with you as long as you’ve been driving. Leather interior seats, air conditioner blowing the summer heat off of your skin.
Hailing from South Africa, Shane Eagle is making serious waves across the globe. With a million streams of his debut album, Yellow. He’s gained a huge following in such a short span of time but what makes it truly remarkable? He isn’t confined to today’s modern rap trend. He’s versatile and capable of reinventing his sound to fit any production.
Jazz is not for the large stages: I have only ever truly enjoyed it in cosy and intimate settings. Autumn Leaves transports you to one of those warm jazz clubs where all that matters is the music–nothing else. This record completes the feeling of closeness with the background conversations seeping in under the strumming.
You all know how much I love music that has real atmosphere and tells a story. I especially love it when that story is motivating and uplifting, even when life’s been kicking you in the shins a bit.
I love the rhythm of this, like a slight wind on water, or winter sun on sand, its a clear and gentle message.
Have you scaled back your imagination?

There is an “after” the storm, I’m sure of it, I’m sure there have been times when I’ve felt I’ve passed the storm, I’m sure. It’s just that this storm, this particular storm is especially strong, and a little blinding, because it isn’t only personal…

inmediatamente captó mi atención, sin duda este tipo tiene un gran
voz!…
As an Argentinian I feel allowed to say we have the best crowd in the world. Videos will be shared to prove this is not just a thing I say, it’s a fact. But, this is not because people are crazy (not just because that…). We have been fed with excellent national music through the past 40 years and I’m not talking about quality on recordings and punk rock disasters.
Red means recording! Super excited to put this track on this list.
If you do not know who Jeremy Blake is, he runs a YouTube channel called “Red means Recording”, where he makes really entertaining music videos giving the viewer an insight on how he makes his music. He’s most well known for a series of videos where he uses the teenage engineering OP-1 as the main driver in a piece of music.
And this week we have another track from Amber and perfectly fitting given the nature and lyrical content of the song and it’s as if it tells a beautiful, explicit graphic novel and that is why so many people appreciate Miss Amber’s musical style.
Remember the good old days of film, cinema and drive in…..
