The-Dream // Panties to the Side

Mmmmmffffff yes. The intro and hook alone make this song amazing.

Jai Paul - Track 3

Jai Paul // Track 3

He has all the qualities I should hate in a musician. Released one song in 2007 and got incredibly overhyped, secluded himself god knows where for five years, and then released an album without warning. Then the album is a leak of unofficial demos!

But Jai Paul breaks the mold. That one song he released in 2007 (BTSTU) is fucking TITS, as are the other two demos that trickled out over the course of the five years previously mentioned. And then the illegally leaked album is actually fantastic. FANTASTIC. This song makes me shiver.

And in the end, it’s all about the music.

Iron & Wine // Winter Prayers

Gold. I was so desperately hoping that this album would have a song or two that just hit me really hard (like every other I&W record), and it did — Winter’s Prayers. The harmonies are perfect.

Bastille - Overjoyed

Bastille // Overjoyed

Even though the “new” Bastille album had like 0% new material (actually too), I still enjoyed it. This is a brilliant track, although I wish its B-side Sleepsong made it onto the album.

Love that this song is so slow and pretty and it’s called Overjoyed.

Keaton Henson - Sarah Minor

Keaton Henson // Sarah Minor

And I know that there’s friction
Between me and you,
I know that you’re uncomfortable,
Believe me, I do.
I know that it’s hard for you to tell me the truth.
But while we are doing so,
Sarah, I love you.

And though your skin’s sheet white
And your arms carry scars.
Your hair isn’t clean much,
Your lungs black with tar.
And god, you love to argue,
You can’t play guitar.
But still, let me tell you
That I love who you are
Still let me tell you
That I love who you are.

Love, young love
I hope you are well
At least we now both
Have a story to tell
Young love, I feel
You know me better than most
In spite of real distance, we’ll always be close,
In spite of real distance, we’ll always be close.

Golden Brown was our soundtrack
A long time ago
We spent all our days in the lines
Outside shows
And I still remember this day,
A long time ago
I walked through the rain for you,
You said to “go home,”

Young love, young love
I hope you are well
At least we now both
Have a story to tell
Young love, I feel
You know me better than most
In spite of real distance, we’ll always be close,
In spite of real distance, we’ll always be close.

Wrekonize - Leo Getz (Feat. Rittz)

Wrekonize feat. Rittz // Leo Getz

I’ve saved the best for last in my super-strange music day. Both Wrek and Rittz absolutely KILLED. I’ve been listening to this non-stop since Rooftops dropped. A must-listen.

Rittz… rittzyrittzrittz… we signed him too. LISTEN TO THAT MAGNIFICENT BASTARD!

Shabazz Palaces - An Echo From the Hosts That Profess Infinitum

Shabazz Palaces // An Echo From The Hosts That Profess Infinitum

I am on a really really huge Shabazz Palaces bender right now. Their album Black Up is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. I know I rave about every piece of music I put up here, but they’re just so amazing. What other hip hop song you know would break in the middle like this with that instrument? And what rapper would be audacious enough to go over this type of music? Outstanding.
