Songs that you can really sing along with get bonus points with me. Handsome Ghost has a way with lyrics, and Reckless Lover is no different. Super catchy and definitely singable.
My favorite “new” voice in the game right now. Can see Laurent John becomes a regular feature on a lot of songs in the upcoming year or two with chops like these.
I enjoyed Miami Horror’s All Possible Futures, which was just recently released. While this wasn’t my favourite song from the record (that title goes to Another Rise, Another Fall…but unfortunately I couldn’t find a stream for it), Cellophane (So Cruel) is the perfect tune to bring us into the impending summer. Airy, breezy and made for beach & pool parties.
Haven’t heard much about Tamaryn (and their soundcloud – which is empty currently – doesn’t do much to satisfy my thirst for more), but I really dug Hands All Over Me. Everything from the synth to the unusual pacing has me wiggling in my seat each time I listen.
I was hooked on this song the second the vocals started. The way she wobbles at the end of each line… so good. I find that this is one of those songs that is just super easy to listen to. Perfect background music for all those fancy afternoon tea parties.
I’ve been struggling all week to put my finger on exactly what this reminds me. A little bit Dirty Vegas is the closest I’ve gotten. I’ve never been the biggest fan of instrumentals, so anytime someone adds vocals to a Deadmau5 track I usually am quick to listen. I think Grabbitz did a fantastic job with his edit of Silent Picture.
Another week where I didn’t really feel like anything stuck out to deserve being #1. All the above were good, but not great. So I’ve opened up the vault again to stuff I loved JUST before I started this blog, and Handsome Ghost’s We Won’t Sleep missed the cutoff by just one day. One of my favourite songs of the past 3-4 months, it’s got a chorus that you’ll be humming for days after listening.
#5. Santino Le Saint – 98
