Hi guys. It's Monday morning YAY again -_-. Lets all hold hands and get over the shock of the weekend ending so abruptly together lol. Check out a few of my tunes that have been on replay.......
Dizzee Rascal - Love This Town ft. Teddy Sky
Tuuuuuunnnnne
Calvin Harris & Alesso - Under Control ft. Hurt
pretty much love everything Calvin Harris does!
Vince kidd- You and me
I love his voice.
Foxes -Youth
Lorde - Royals
Who hasn't been jammin to this ...really?
Cody Chesnutt- Till I met thee. You know when you just want some of that old school R&B and neo soul? Yeah he is your guy. I saw him on the Jools Holland show and I loved the live performance of the song.
Gabrielle Aplin- Power of love. Covering Frankie goes to Hollywood for The John Lewis Christmas advert her ethereal tones makes it really memorable. Having been around on Youtube etc for the last few years, it is rumoured she tweeted John Lewis into submission regarding her doing a song for them and after a while an agency got it touch with her. Goes to show the power of social media and slight stalking....lol
Kyra ft Cashtastic- Good love. It is very nice to see some good UK talent and yup all them faces that look familiar are lol
Solange- Losing you. I usually yawn at her attempts but I freaking love this song and loved it more when I saw the video. Filmed in South Africa the idea seems to me to be about capturing a glimpse of humanity against a back drop of adversity. The scenes really brought those people to life. For anyone who knows their music you will see it was heavily influenced by elements of Janet Jackson's got til its gone video.
It's the bank holiday woot, woot! Its time to kick back, relax and maybe hit the carnival. The last weekend in August is synonymous with Carnival in the UK and Europe, so to honour our epic 2 day event here is a lil classic sumthing sumthing to get the parrrttaaay started.
On with my list of awesome tuneage.......
Thinking about you- I am still channeling orange. Frank Oceans album is the stuff and I foresee me playing it for a long long long time! I absolutely love this tune. Poor guy who smiled on the train last week, I wasnt singing to you sorry lol
Wildest moments- This is the brand new British artist is called Jessie Ware. She has been around for some time and has featured on man like me songs as well as Rinse fm radio but her own album devotion is out now . Love the simplicity of the video.
Kidike -Its afro beats time. The sun can not be shining and you don't buss out a lil African tune. If we close our eyes we can pretend this random muggy weather is just like African sun lol (lies). The church scene is funny as well.
Party animal remix- Having been around for a bit and featured on loads of UK artists songs, Mikill Pane is beginning to make waves. His flow is so different and his voice is well very indigenous shall we say. He has a very British sound and style. I love all the little references in the video -intro and supermalt people!
Glory days- Blackpool born singer Karima Francis has been simmering on the periphery for a while now and has been well received at festivals etc after her first album the author. She has a very interesting overall modish look with about 3 different hairstyles in her hair. Her voice is so unique, she has a Tracy Chapmanesque vibe going on. I am absolutely LOVING this chilled out ,stripped down song.
Chilling on the train trying not to pass out from the noxious fumes emanating from the great unwashed ,usually means some hype hype music is needed to keep me going long enough for the second cup of coffee but today I am having a chilled one for sure. I even let the nosey man finish reading to the end of my newspaper with me lol.
Ben Howard has such a weird raspy warble in his voice. The wolves is a definite tune. My friend bought me his album after we saw him live somewhere last year (no clue where) and I am loving the folksiness of it. It’s nice to hear an actual instrument instead of the usual auto tune, makes me wanna pick up my violin and find a saxophone again .
Emeli Sande has some tunes on her debut album. Suitcase and where I sleep are getting a lot of play from me atm.
Ed Sheeran, well whats not to love about the lil ginger king? Has anyone else noticed guys coming up to them and spitting lines from his songs? Give me love in particular???? busted gtfoh lmao
Frank Oceans swim good . Obviously everyone is hyped about his letter regarding his sexuality. The amount of trolls out there is ridiculous its like get over yourself dick heads, he is an awesome writer and singer and just because he is gay/bi don't act as though you were bopping your heads to his songs last year and doing a 2 step kmt. It isnt contagious.
Melanie Fiona 4am . My friend calls this her battle song. If she needs to hype herself up into the hulk, she plays this and she is ready for attitude lol. Randomly this is also a good song to cook to. Chicken has never been seasoned so well lmao!
Anyways lovers thats all for now. What are you guys listening to of late??
