easing my mind

Every so often, 8tracks reminds me that I have a long list of songs to add to my iPod. After listening to a new mix, I remembered one of my favourite songs that I have yet to add. Of course after adding it, I cannot get enough of it!

Matt Corby's "Brother" has some sort of way with me. Besides the great climactic build, his lyrics and voice take over the song with its power and volume. If you haven't heard the track, or him, make sure to check out his latest album, Resolution.


you look alright, still

After listening to her latest album Sheezus, I took the time to reminisce Lily Allen's older work. After remembering her debut album Alright, Still, I appreciated her fun, yet vulgar, music. With her cute melodies and sweet voice, she is subtly stealing that crown... she wants to be Sheezus.

Still a classic track for those bar nights, "Knock 'Em Out" always gives you a good chuckle as she rejects creeps left and right. Plus, who can resist her "polite" British accent?


song of the week

Going through my iPod and rediscovering Back to Black by Amy Winehouse has restarted my obsession for her.
After replaying her albums for the past few weeks, I cannot get enough of "Me & Mr. Jones". With a great groove, vocals, and jazz accompaniment, this song will always put me in a great mood.


RIP Amy, her music will stay timeless and live on forever.

there's a world we can visit if we go outside

For the song of the week, I'm throwing it back to Donald Glover's , also know as Childish Gambino, first album, Camp. 

I've been reliving his angst by leaving "Outside" on replay. With an accompaniment of back up vocalists and lyrics written as if they were from a diary, Gambino effortlessly makes another masterpiece from his repressed childhood pain.


If you haven't listened to Camp yet, you haven't witnessed Donald Glover's true potential. His writing transcends in both television and music and he is an artist that will be here for a while.

song of the week

Banks' EP, London, left me wanting more…
With a mixture of beats, emotional lyrics and a collection of sounds and instruments, I cannot stop listening to her voice and EP.

Below is the video for "This is What It Feels Like", make sure you check out her songs and her past work.
