Fences – Isabel

Esta canción se ha expandido por todo el mundo y es que se trata de una joven cantante y compositora llamada Isabel, con una voz suave, rotunda y sensual, ella juega y mezcla sonidos en tiempo real de manera ascendente que cuando te das cuenta, estás perdido en un mundo entre el Soul y R&B.

Big Sky – Lars Jakob Rudjord

This track is about looking out from airplane windows and seeing the top of the clouds as far as your eye can see. 

Piano creates a perfect harmonic carpet, mixed with a cello… and the celestial choir that underlines the melody, makes it perfect for being in the sky. 

Avril 14th – Aphex Twin

In 2001, the legendary Aphex Twin blessed us all with this two-minute piano instrumental off of the album, Drukqs.

Since there isn’t any lyrics, there isn’t a whole lot to tell you about the meaning of this song. It’s up to you to interpret whatever feelings this piece gives you.

Jesus in Vegas – Chumbawamba

Self-proclaimed “anarcho-pop funsters” Chumbawamba were unique in becoming the first anarchist collective indie band to sign to a major label and have a massive worldwide one hit wonder, after which they gave most of the money they earned to social welfare projects and striking dockers. And then they followed up their huge US success with the distinctly anti-American Jesus in Vegas.

Shooting Questions At The Messenger – An Interview With Apostle

Apostle is a new rising talent from London, England, whose debut single “Dakota Thunder Rising” came out right before Christmas. It’s a brilliant pop song with a very thought-provoking and poetic lyric – one of those songs that stay with you even after you’ve taken your headphones off and gone to bed. 

Impressed by the songwriting talent of this young man, I asked for an interview and was granted one. I was excited. This was a wonderful opportunity for me to learn more about Apostle and more importantly, spread the word about him and his music. And no, the irony of becoming a messenger of the messenger (the definition of the word “apostle”) did not escape me.

I’m Not in Love – 10cc

A lot of songs in the 70s addressed various aspects of being in love, from first crush to falling in love to heartbreak. The band 10cc took it a step further and claimed to not be in love at all. “I’m Not in Love” came out in 1975 and was noted for its unique back tracking, which consisted of the band’s multitracked voices. It was the UK group’s first global hit and has enjoyed lasting popularity.

Somewhere Shining – GOOD WTHR feat. Jay Be

Some say nothing cures the pain of losing a loved one; some say that it, just like everything, shall eventually pass. But, either if it’s to take the pain away or to just distract you from it, channelling feelings into something else that you love just as much is always a great thing to do.

Kül – Ediz Hafızoğlu

Ediz Hafızoğlu is an all-around drummer from İstanbul/Turkey. He has played with various artists from Turkey and all around the world. Lately, he focuses more on jazz. Lin Records labeled Nazdrave (the album) is formed by the songs that he wrote for the musicians he has worked with, naturally the album combines many genres.

Rorschach – Typhoon

In my opinion, it’s pretty gutsy to release a record this early in the year. When you release your record in the beginning of the year, you have to be really sure it’s good. Otherwise, people are bound to forget about it. Typhoon have released their fourth full-length record Offerings this past week on January 12th. So, Typhoon they’ve got balls. 

Dakota Thunder Rising – Apostle

Sometimes a truly great song can save your Saturday. The following is based on a true story.

Imagine this. It’s been snowing for days on end. Every morning before work you shovel snow for an hour and every day after work, you do the same. But it snows all the time, so this becomes labor that has very little effect on how your yard looks or how easy it is to back out of your driveway. This is Finland for you this time of the year – pretty harsh, right?…

Chinese Translation – M Ward

If you could know the answer to three questions, any questions, what would you ask? Maybe some secrets of the universe? Maybe about how your life will turn out? Or maybe even who is going to win the Super Bowl? M Ward digs deep into his soul and asks an old man about his troubles he has been seeking the answers to.

Udd Gaye (Bacardi House Party Sessions) – Ritviz

It makes me so happy that Udd Gaye is the first hindi track on the playlist. Released in late November last year, Udd Gaye was an instant hit, and Ritviz, a young DJ became famous overnight.
