Oh, when Jessie Ware comes in…amazing.
At The xx’s “Day + Night+ festival in Berlin, they started off performing a cover of Modjo’s eraly 00s dance hit “Lady” over a Jamie xx remix beat and then Jessie Ware arrived to deliver that irresistible hook from Stardust’s “Music Sounds Better With You”.
Studio version please.

“Black Skinhead”
When I first the snippet of new Kanye song “New Slaves” I wasn’t too fussed. That changed when he performed that and other new track “Black Skinhead” over the weekend on SNL. The energy and the attitude that ‘Ye delivered made these songs and now I’m excited about the new album Yeezus, its going to be like nothing he has done before.

Wilsen turns Grimes’ electric “Oblivion” into a stripped down, quiet dream pop version and if you don’t think that will work…well listen, cause it does.
“Oblivion” is the b-side to to new single “Dusk”, from the mini-album Sirens.

This is shimmery summer perfection.
Flipping the drum beat of Q-Tip’s “Breathe and Stop”, Sunny & Gabe’s “Clouds” is a hazy dream pop esque track that is optimism in music. This is end credits kind of music.
Sunny & Gabe are from Norfolk, VA and “Clouds” is from the upcoming release #FreeCandy.

Here is the title track for The Weeknd’s new album Kiss Land and as good as you expected it would be. Its withdrawn, lovelorn, dark, ominous, hazy and turns on its head in the middle. With three mixtapes worth of music already, a proper full length debut album from Abel Tresfaye and The Weeknd crew is very exciting.

Well, this is delightful isn’t it?
This is slightly different from the usual Lana Del Rey sepia tinged nostalgic epic songs, its light and fluffy sixties pop with a Del Rey twist. Apparently recorded back in 2011, no one really knows why or where this is from but hey, its quite nice and thats all that matters.

Shoe gazey and good, here’s “Dream Machine” from duo Big Deal.
“Dream Machine” is from June Gloom out June 4th. Available for pre-order.
