Happy Monday lovely people! How ya been?
Weather here has been ridiculous but at the same time it has cooled down a little allowing for my favourite season to trickle through; Autumn. Layers anyone?? Can't wait!!! On to some new music lovely people!
1. FINE CHINA - CHRIS BROWN
Synonomous with Rihana abuser, Chris Brown has been followed closely by hate, conroversy and just plain bad news. But instead fading away into obsecurity, a more heavily tattooed and stylish Chris Brown shows the world that he can most definitely bounce back with Rihanna in tow. I actually really like this song. Its pop-licious but has a great beat and musical parts to it which I can see many people jamming to. CB might have just turned a whole new corner with this one. Won't go as far as saying that he can or has redeem himself with the new single - but certainly is taking the right steps in moving forward and continuing with his music - 'cause one thing no one can take away from Chris Brown is his ridiculous talent as a singer and entertainer.
2. BREAK MY HEART IN 2 - ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS
I love me a good instrumental slash sample song and alongside people like RJD2 and Wax Tailor, I am now going to add Ancient Astronauts to my chill out playlists. And how could I not enjoy this, the first couple of minutes of the song is pure horn sections - hell yes! It's easy to listen to but still interesting so that you don't lose sight at how beautifully Ancient Astronauts have mixed layers of sounds and sampling together to produce a beautifully curated single. They can break my heart anyway with sounds like this. Bring on some more!
3. NICE AND SLOW - MAX FROST
How freaking sweet is this song. Its so pretty! And hellooooo killer voice! No surprises here that it's from Austin musician;
Max Frost. Frost has most certainly graced the pages of A&D, for
that earlier post, click here. He's a multi-instrumentalist with a voice that could melt butter. So nothing else to add here - just click play and sit back to enjoy.
Yep. Still obsessed with
Tyler, The Creator's newest album;
Wolf. Since
writing this piece a couple of weeks ago, I have been listening to this album non stop - and I mean non stop to the point where I haven't seeked out new stuff. There are many track on that album that I would all a favourite, but at the moment
IFHY is a must-hear for me which I try and impose on everyone. Some amazing word play and rhymes in this track - "
Its that my mood change for you like these goddamn seasons; I fall for you" -
Tyler gets emotional and very expressive. The intro draws you in compelling to hear more, at then
BAM! at minute 0.50 it drops and its the killer beat and production skill that carries the song. And then soulful sounds of
Pharrell bleeds through and takes the track to a whole new level of soft grunge pretty
Odd Future track similar to something you would hear from
Frank Ocean or
The Internet. Like I said,
obsessed.
Hope you enjoyed, leave me a comment below on what you thought of the week's picks!
