Madder Red is from Odd Blood.

Ellie Lawson: "Change The Way"
Getting sent a lot of music submissions is par for the whole writing about music course. Sometimes its bad, sometimes its okay and then some of the time you get something that you really like, step in Ellie Lawson. Change The Way is stupidly sweet, fun and showcases what this girl can do. If you like Regina Spektor, Feist, Lena or any of those then Lawson will settle in your ears quite nicely.

Amy Winehouse "Like Smoke ft. Nas"
She may be gone, but Amy will be gracing us with some more wonderful music this christmas with Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures. Its not meant to be a follow up to Back to Black but instead a collection of recordings from the very beginning, to the very end. Put together by Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, it gives the sense that is not something cynical but something that will truly keep...

Childish Gambino: "Heartbeat"
Camp is out November 15 and another track from it just dropped, Heartbeat. It starts off being like Drake, drops into some dirty dance, kicks into some more drake ish and then just turns into a dirty dance hop track. Niceness.

Remix Baby: The xx "Intro (Kenny Burke Edit)"
Ever wanted The xx’s Intro to last a little longer? Everytime you listen to it. Well here’s a remix by Kenny Burke, who’s done that and also added some synths, arpeggios and really made it possibly as amazing. The original is untouchable…this is almost there.

disCOVER: The Antlers "VCR (The xx Cover)"
Two of my favourite things in one, bonus. Here’s The Antlers covering The xx’s VCR. The Antlers manage to make it their own and if this were properly mixed it wouldn’t have sounded out of place on Hospice. (Go over to Stereogum and check out a list of the 10 best xx covers)

VIDEO: Justin Bieber "Otis Freestyle"
I was prepared to be like, pffft kid needs to step down, but I’m going to give JB a little more time on the rap shelf. No he’s not up there with the real talent but he’s just as good as other singers who try to put it down (C Breezy…) And whether or not it was off the top, or scripted (which I think the first part was) he didn’t make a fool of himself. Go ahead,...

Sitting on the edge of your seat aren’t you, well wait no further here is LA based Holmes’ delivering a great cover of Ice Cube’s ode to the perfect 24. It’s not just a straight cover, Holmes’ has given careful thought to musical...

Check out the new video for Foster The People’s Call It What You Want where it crams in every idea that anybody’s ever had into one video. It’s not one of my favourite tracks of the album, but its still pretty damn good, and man I do love these guys a helluva lot.

The Bullitts: "Run and Hide feat. Jay Electronica"
I’m on a Jay Electronica vibe this morning, if you don’t know about this guys listen to Jay Electronica- The Pledge. Possibly one of the most exciting things in hip hop, he’s just signed to Roc Nation, so expect big things. But anyway this is a post about The Bullitts, fronted by Jeymes Samuel, exciting new indie band that has Idris Elba, Jay Electronica and Lucy Liu scrambling...

Rosi Golan: "Seeing Ghosts (Live)"
Singer/songwriter Rosi Golan has a piercingly sweet voice and the writing chops to back it up. Seeing Ghosts is a beautifully sweet song that perfectly showcases Golan over an acoustic guitar.

French/Finnish duo, The Do, are big stars in France, becoming the first French act, singing in French, to hit the top of the charts…ever, so nbd. Their third album Both Ways Open Jaw is a great little album full of quirky tracks that sound fresh. Bohemian Dances is a sweet magical track that will get into your head.

Beirut: "Santa Fe"
Loving what’s coming from Beirut this year, the irresistible East Harlem and now Santa Fe. These guys have such a rich and influenced sound, every song is a treat for the ears. Santa Fe is taken from the album The Rip Tide.
