It's been forever and for that I'm sorry. This year has been eating up all of my time and I have lots of lost music to make up for. So..
I'll start here. And away we go...
1."Kiss Them for Me"- School of Seven Bells:
This is such a cool cover. It's exotic and I always love School of Seven Bells. This song will probably end up on many of your up coming mixed tapes, I can pretty much promise that.
2."Every Single Night"- Fiona Apple:
I am so happy Fiona is creating new music again. She is remembered in the beck era of my life and she has one of the most amazing voices I know. This song takes a little bit of a different direction than her usual stuff but I love it.
3."Corrina Corrina"- Beck:
Speaking of Beck, this is a bit of wishful posting. He just released this cover and recently a song for a movie but two Beck appearances in a month or so period is miraculous. He sounds as if he is going in a bluesy direction this time and I would love to see him come out with a whole album soon! So let's hope this is a preview.
4."Equal Mind"- Beach House:
I am loving Beach House lately! Everything they've come out recently has blown my mind. This song reminds me of "Gila". You must check this out.
5."Happy Pills"- Norah Jones:
There is almost nothing better than a collaboration of two really good artists. Especially when the product is amazing. Here is a brilliant example. Norah Jones + Danger Mouse= A musical masterpiece. I've heard snippets from the rest of the album and it's great. This is the single that's out now.
And because it's been so long..
bonus song
6."Dougou Badia (feat. Santigold)"- Amadou &Mariam:
Of course most people know Santigold and love her but this song brings out a totally different part of her talent and truly highlights the talents of Amadou & Mariam. It reminds me a little bit of Angelique Kidjo. Definitely listen to this one.
