A lot of girls who are in a serious relationship with music will most likely think, “shit, is this about me?” upon listening to “Her Favorite Song.” Looks like Mayer Hawthorne connects with his female audience. I was definitely not expecting a Ware/Hawthorne collaboration but they work so well together and now I want more. [...]
If you are still sleeping on Solange’s EP, True, from last year, I don’t know what you’re doing with your life but it’s still on constant rotation for me. And I HIGHLY recommend seeing Solange perform live if you have the opportunity. She is going to be at basically every festival this summer and trust [...]
“Latch” was the track that introduced me to Disclosure, and it also brought Sam Smith to my attention. The original version is so upbeat and catchy–I’m shocked it hasn’t been a bigger deal yet in America. Sam Smith, the vocal talent carrying “Latch,” decided to strip down the track to a piano and orchestral take; [...]
Thundercat is about to change your summer. “Oh Sheit It’s X,” sounds like some disco funk from the past and it is going to pair well with “Get Lucky” on all of your summer playlists. Songs about drugs are not really something I’m into but this one is impossible to dislike. And I don’t even [...]
Lots of feelings. “Bugs Don’t Buzz” is a love song; albeit some of the lyrics aren’t as rosy as one normally associates with romance. But that’s what makes it interesting. To be honest, I was sold after the first two lines…although the “we’ll be just like the roaches,” sequence is quite endearing. I’d categorize the [...]
Anyone who knows anything about comfort and/or sadness is familiar with the art of the favorite sweatshirt or sweatpants, or both. You might spend years unknowingly looking for the right leisure clothing item and then suddenly when you least expect it, it happens. Day after day you end up thinking about how as soon as [...]
UK producer brothers, Disclosure, have all sorts of hype right now. They’ve recently collaborated with other big names on the music scene including the likes of AlunaGeorge on “White Noise” and Sam Smith on “Latch.” Surely, Disclosure has their options when it comes to choosing vocalists so I was happy to see their choice of [...]
Here I am again, posting a British teenager. It is apparently the year of the British teenager in my blogging history. So, Rainy Milo, I didn’t realize it when I hit play, but she is actually a vocalist on tracks by the music collective, Last Night In Paris which we’ve featured on the site. Rainy [...]
You’ve probably seen the teaser to “Get Lucky” by now. If you’re like me, you’ve been watching that clip since you first heard the song. Now we get some background info on how the collaboration happened. Imagine Pharrell and Daft Punk at Madonna’s party!! Pharrell is everything and more in the interview. Daft Punk’s higher [...]
POLIÇA is back and it is definitely something to write home about. I will not even let the “I’m a pawn in the hype machine” lyric turn me off of the track (at least I think that’s what I’m hearing). Also, “Tiff” isn’t over saturated with Justin Vernon vocals, another thing that could have decreased [...]
If you don’t recognize her by name, Megan James is the vocalist in Purity Ring–surely you know that voice. Popcaan is a lord of the dancehall scene. Dre Skull is a producer from Brooklyn. Still with me? Good, because “First Time” is about to change your summer. If you’re familiar with Dre Skull, you might [...]
Crvvcks is apparently pronounced Crooks. Okay, whatever you say. Crvvcks is a 17 year old producer duo from the UK. This could mean that they are two 17 year olds or they have been producing together for 17 years. I’m gonna go with the former. “Luv U” is a rework of Ne-Yo’s electro ballad, “Let [...]
