Stromae - Papaoutai

Born of Sound - Janelle Monae

"Once the "sound-form" has been visualised, it is then coloured to bring out the nuances of the audio. The Mohan's simulated atmosphere can be made more or less dense or turbulent to give different effects" 

- Born of Sound

Would love to see what the new Janelle Monae would look like visually - she is amazing! Her new offering is definitely on the summer playlist.

Janelle Monae - Dance Apocalyptic

Miguel - Candles In The Sun

Beautiful visuals by Miguel... A great song 

MAN LIKE ME - Sleaze

Loving Man Like Me's new offering "Sleaze" shot in Rankin's studio (Ahhh the dance moves). Looks like 2013 maybe theirs,  they seem to have gained a lot more fans / popularity / visibility in the last year and rightfully so. Excited for the release of their album in March - they will also be playing a few shows up and down UK so be sure to catch them in your town. 

Check out their Facebook for tour dates - Man Like Me Tour Dates

P.s I really want those pillows!

Jessie Ware - Sweet Talk

On Repeat: Friendly Fires Remix - AlunaGeorge "Your Drums, Your Love"

Azealia Banks - Mermaids Ball

       

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am the biggest groupie for Azealia Banks she is my breathe the music industry has been shoveling some of the most mind numbing, dumbed down pieces of crap and labeling it music. With lyrics, song composition and visuals just being.... eugh I could go on forever (like I have befoof fresh air! Her song "1991" takes me to the happiest place, which no other musician has done in a long time. I had actually begun to give up on anything post - 2006 because lets be honestre) but let me not go of course. Azealia is a very talented young woman and I am excited to see what more she has to offer.

In fact I am actually a bit upset at the moment because I am going to miss the infamous Mermaid's Ball show, she will be hosting and playing at the sea aquarium here in London 13th October. If you haven't got a ticket get one if they are still available it will be AH - MAZING! If not, like me you can just enjoy her new visuals for her singles "Luxury" and "1991" of her EP  "Fantasea"

     

Man Like Me - Squeeze

So Man Like Me are making big waves now I hear...I don't want to share.... but it's good that they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. With a little help from one of my favourites Mr "A Grand Don't Come For Free" they have now become one of Dj Annie Mac's favourites.

With Johnny Like dressed as a East London Vodoo warrior and Peter dressed as cowboy priest running around an estate looking for virgin prey? You could say their video for their single "Squeeze" is beyond DIFFERENT but it makes me giggle and I love this song it's officially on my summer playlist. Have a listen though and let me know whether you agree? 

HAPPY SUMMER PEOPLE!

Iggy Azalea - The last song

The world of music and fashion have been intertwined since well... forever and this new female artist Iggy Azalea is about to storm both worlds this year. An internet sensation, Australian born Iggy's music video's have gone viral and has already drummed up a lot of buzz.

They say she's the next Nicki Minaj... I disagree though both are female's are rappers and are heavily addicted to "fashion" I much prefer Iggy's sense of style. The one to watch for 2012.

The Metronomy - The Bay

Daley, Estelle & David Banner - Benz

I've posted about Daley before his voice needs no hypin' - you can hear that for yourself! Pure british talent and it looks like he's about to hit the big time!

Aww Shit!!! Can't go wrong with that Andre 3000 - Prototype sample!

Kreayshawn - Gucci Gucci

So the relatively new artist "Kreayshawn" has been popping up on my radar for the last few days so decided to see what the hype is all about.

A member of the group "White Girl Mob" she calls herself a "Rap Beast"/Dj/Editor/Cinematographer/ Bitch Snatcher/ list goes on and on. It's safe to say that she is part of the "new wave" of hip hop that's being projected by Lil' B, The Odd Future and The Pack. She can call the odd future guys her associates in crime with Left Brain from The Odd Future group even featuring in her new video.

Kreashawyn I predict will be on the lips of many in the next coming months as she's already creating waves on the internet. Question is am I feeling  her and the White Girl Mob's music......NO COMMENT!!!

Friendly Fires - Blue Cassette

Slightly different from the first album ( Single Kiss of Life from 1st album below), Friendly Fire's sophmore offering does have a bit more of a synth sound but I am still loving it "PALA" is out now!

Mayer Hawthorne - I Wish It Would Rain (Video)

I know I know probably a little late on this one, but my sister has been listening to this guy non-stop and I can so understand why. Love this song and will be checking the rest of repertoire soonish, ENJOY!!!

Dirty Gold - California Sunrise

Oh it's hot outside and although there's no sea or sand insight in the smoggy urban jungle. Just close your eyes and drift away to California Sunrise it's the next best thing!
