Τα καινούργια κομμάτια δεν είναι απλώς “νέες κυκλοφορίες”. Είναι η αφορμή να ξαναδείς την καθημερινότητα αλλιώς. Να βάλεις play και να φύγεις, έστω και για λίγο.

I Feel So Free · Madonna

Δεν είναι απλώς ένα τραγούδι. Είναι δήλωση.
Το “I Feel So Free” πατά πάνω σε αυτό που η Madonna ξέρει καλύτερα: να μετατρέπει το συναίσθημα σε κίνηση, το προσωπικό σε καθολικό.

Η παραγωγή είναι φωτεινή, με pop γραμμές που ρέουν εύκολα, synths που ανοίγουν τον χώρο και ρυθμό που σε σπρώχνει μπροστά χωρίς να πιέζει. Όλα υπηρετούν ένα πράγμα: την αίσθηση ότι αφήνεις πίσω ό,τι σε βαραίνει.

I feel so free… like nothing’s holding me down.

Απλό. Καθαρό. Αληθινό.

Dansons · Céline Dion

Μερικά τραγούδια δεν τα αναλύεις  τα αφήνεις να σε πάρουν μαζί τους.
Το “Dansons” κινείται με γαλλική φινέτσα: απαλά πλήκτρα, διακριτικός ρυθμός και μια ερμηνεία που δεν πιέζει, απλώς σε αγκαλιάζει.

Ιδανικό για βραδιές με χαμηλό φως, για slow dancing στο σαλόνι, για εκείνες τις ώρες που η ζωή απλοποιείται και η μουσική γίνεται αρκετή.

Ella Langley – Be Her

Η Ella Langley γράφει και τραγουδά με τον τρόπο που μεγάλωσε η country: λιτά, ευθέως, χωρίς περιττά στολίδια. Κιθάρες καθαρές, ρυθμός σταθερός, και μια φωνή που κουβαλάει βάρος  όχι για να εντυπωσιάσει, αλλά για να πει την ιστορία όπως είναι.

Do I have to be her… to be the one you love?

Σκληρό. Αλλά αληθινό.

According to Billboard, Sade has been recording new music at Miraval Studios in France. The studio has been recently reopened by producer Damien Quintard and actor Brad Pitt, who co-owns the Château Miraval property it’s located on.

“You could feel the love that she and the band had for this place,” Quintard said. “And when we talked to musicians who came here previously, they all have this special connection with Miraval that can’t really be explained…It’s a dream come true to see this place activate again.”

Sade hasn’t released a new album since 2010’s Soldier of Love, though they have featured on soundtracks to 2018’s A Wrinkle in Time and Widows.

There’s a lot of great R&B music happening right now, but if we’re being honest, none of it is Sade. There’s something different about the way Sade’s flawless vocals blend with the band to tell a captivating story. Every song feels like a private glimpse into an epic romance. Even during instrumental breaks, you can still feel the drama.

Per Pitchfork, back in 2018, band member Stuart Matthewman indicated the group had already written, “a bunch of songs” for its next album.

“[Sade’s] not interested in the fame or any of that [other] stuff. She likes to put out art,” Matthewman said at the time. “So when it’s ready, it will come out.”

At this point, we all know 2018 was several lifetimes ago, so we’re not surprised the music is just getting recorded. Sade usually makes us wait a long time between projects and it’s always worth it, so take your time, we’re ready whenever you are.

There have been a lot of arguments lately about the state of R&B, but if Sade is back with new music, those debates are over because they officially run R&B.

IMAN – For You

They took
Away our old place
Buildings stand
Where we played
But memories
Of you can’t be washed away
If all that’s left is dust
How come I still feel your touch
And it’s haunting me
But I want your ghost to
Stay

Pre chorus
Ambitions led me
Only so far
When I dream of you
I’m home in your arms
Why did I leave
And
Why do we part?

Chorus
For you
I’ll be there
For you
I’ll be there
For you
I’ll be the
One one one one
For you
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be there for you
I’ll be the one
One, one , one
One one one one
One one one

ANTONIA – Tango

Let’s do a dance, body, body
Talk with our hands, party, party
You say you know what I need, gimme, gimme

Ex-frontman of Swanage band Saturday Sun, Alex Hedley, is taking 2018 by storm with his velvet vocals by releasing his new EP This Life. His latest single ‘Possibility’ is a toe-tapping acoustic addition to the EP. Featuring Hedley’s impressive strong vocal range and coupled with the accompanying video, the track conjures up a summery nostalgia. The home video-style footage features shots of the beach and travelling in the USA, including blue skies and lush greenery.

PERFECTLY FLAWED
Paddy James

Singer-songwriter, Paddy James has all bases covered with a hugely impressive list of contacts in the music industry, from shows with the likes of Ed Sheeran, The Hoosiers; successful showcases at Sofar Sounds and BBC Introducing…not to mention a back-up plan as a career as a ski instructor. His latest single suggests that a life on the slopes may have to wait, with Perfectly Flawed being his most impressive release to date, combining his flawless vocals, tumbling melodies and punchy orchestration. This is A-list material that promises to catapult him into the mainstream.

Perfectly Flawed sees Paddy once again demonstrating his soaring vocals which veer into Jeff Buckley territory, such is his dexterity, whilst his guitar-playing is gloriously entwined with strings and a fractured rhythm section which puts this in an arena where it can be savoured by fans of both traditional singer-songwriters and intelligent indie-pop and rock. Lyrically, the track sees good intentions hindered by seemingly suspicious actions, the protagonist trying to be a saint and succeeding to some extent but the lure of old tendencies and desires leading towards a strenuous relationship.

Born in Solihull and raised in Southampton, Paddy now divides his time between London and the French Alps, not only coaching would-be skiers but also playing to sell-out crowds at venues across the region.

WILD HEART
The Singer and The Songwriter

The Singer and The Songwriter (Rachel Garcia and Thu Tran), released the new music video for their single “Wild Heart” choreographed and performed by urban dance team and current VIBE Hip-Hop Dance Competition Champions, The Company, with videography by LA media team, Vibrvncy.
“Wild Heart” (from The Singer and The Songwriter’s EP DIRECTIONS, released in October 2017) is an anthem the duo wrote to celebrate the stories of women. Garcia wrote the lyrics about her grandmother, an immigrant from Mexico, who, as a young girl, used to sneak onto a train with her friends to steal the sugar cane that was drying on top of the cars. In both the song and video, the duo wanted to create an anthem that would capture and honor her wild, adventurous spirit.
The “Wild Heart” video features original choreography and dance performance by The Company, an ensemble from Daly City, CA, best known for their viral performance video from the VIBE Hip Hop Dance Competition in 2014. Garcia and Tran have been long-time fans of The Company and are thrilled to be collaborating with them on this project, and specifically to be working with an all-female group of choreographers and dancers. The choreography is by Janelle Gleason, Melissa Batesting and Aggie Loyola (who also appear in the video as dancers). Garcia explains: “This group of women from The Company embody ‘Wild Heart’ perfectly. Their cultural diversity, passion and talent are so beautiful and inspiring to watch.”
“Wild Heart” aims to send a hopeful, inspiring message; a reminder of just how powerful it can be for women to share their stories, make their voices heard and “make waves.” Choreographer Janelle Gleason summarizes one of the main themes she kept in mind while choreographing the piece: “One woman achieving success is all women achieving success.”

NOTHING SWEET (FT. MR BEALE)
Cappa and Daniel-San

The enigmatic Edinburgh duo comprising of Tom Capaldi and Dan Steward, aka. Cappa & Daniel San release ‘Nothing Sweet (feat. Mr Beale),’ a groove-soaked track full to the brim with disco influence, especially the breakdown at around the 3:40 mark. Foot-tapping, head bopping rhythm is distilled across the track, as funk-inflected bass-lines ebb and flow behind a lush array of synths, brass and percussion. The icing on the disco-cake are the soulful vocals by Mr Beale that take the track to the next level. All in all, it’s a collaborative masterpiece that I hope we’ll hear more from in the future.

Really nice :)

GAMPER & DADONI – Just Smile (feat. Milow)

Sometimes i just sit down on a bench and start to
Watch all the people walking by.
I see all the different kind of faces people
All around the place are wondering why-i-i

Just Smile (repeat)

These days i can see the world is changing i hear
Everyone complaining all the time.
Hold on you’re always in a hurry
But you don’t need to worry, why don’t you

Just Smile (Repeat)

Sometimes i sit down on a bench
To enjoy the moment, just for a moment.

Groove Is In The Heart – Rex The Dog Beats In Space Bootleg

Here is a bootleggy remix which Rex made for our live set on Beats In Space last September. It was only a very rough edit at the time, just the modular squawking away. But here it is after some care and attention, all finished, and downloadable.

Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard has released a new track called “Lose Your Love.” The song is accompanied by a bizarre new video (directed by Fred Rowson) that takes place in a community center class. At first, it seems to be a kind of meditation or tai chi class, but then bizarre cult-like VHS tapes enter the mix, and ultimately, the participants find themselves convulsing on the ground. Watch it happen below. The single is out via Greco-Roman.

This year, Goddard released the white label 12” EP, Lasers. His lone solo LP, Harvest Festival, arrived in 2009. Hot Chip’s last record was 2015’s Why Make Sense?.

SLAPTOP – I TRY (FT. OLIVIA FLORENTINO)

BONOBO – KERALA

Ninja Tune you are spoiling us rotten at the moment. Not weeks after dropping the first single from The Cinematic Orchestra’s latest release, and off the back of a ridiculously strong new LP from Illum Sphere, they’ve also thrown out a new Bonobo tune. On top of that, the man himself has announced that he’s got a new album coming in early 2017, and he’ll be touring in both Europe and North America to support the release.

So, the track. It’s called ‘Kerala’, and it’s a perfect demonstration of how much Bonobo has progressed as an arranger, with a smooth Brandy vocal sample tying together a rickety beat and some twitching, tickling strings. The video, meanwhile, is kind of terrifying in a beautiful way. It sees Gemma Arterton frantically fleeing an impending meteor strike, but it’s cut so that each clutch of frames loops a few nauseating times before allowing the narrative to progress. This kind of temporal fragmentation gives the video an interesting edge, but I struggled to watch it without feeling agitated, or like I having a particularly bad trip.
