El Sett, (The Lady), Oum Kalthoum with "Al Atlal (The Ruins)"
Nobody does mournful or dramatic better than Oum Kalthoum, and the lyrics were truly beautiful- the opening:
"O my heart do not ask where is love,
It was a fort of my imagination- and it fell.
Let's drink together over the ruins
Let's drink and let my tears slake my thirst"
You ain't heard? You ain't ready. Fela and De La make a beautiful union.

Rainy Milo- The Other Way
Culoe De Song-100 Zulu Warriors
There's little-known about South London-based talent Rainy Milo, except she's refusing record deals left and right, and she's still only in her teens. Like her music, which clearly possesses a haunting cadence and vocal stylings that oscillate perfectly between gruff-raspy and lilting, there is a certain something about her that hints at a wisdom beyond her years. She may remind you of artists like Delilah, and Lily Allen and their tradition of Grime-y-Soul, with her smooth, harmonic runs that are half-sung. half-spoken in a strong London accent. She could even remind you of Amy Winehouse circa Frank, as she occasionally steps into smoky, Jazzhouse territory in 'The Other Way' and 'Don't Forget Me'.
But her best work is the cover of classic 'Make Me Smile' by Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel, which she slows down into a mournfully wistful ballad and croons like an old soul. We can't wait to hear what's in store, and if her commitment to working on her 'sound' before releasing a full-length album says anything, it's that there's hope that when she does, it will be well worth our wait...
You can download her EP Limey, linked here via her Soundcloud
Almost a decade after their last album, No Doubt are back with 'Push and Shove' ft. Major Lazer and Busy Signal.
Still undecided on the track, but the chorus is pretty heavy...
Skye Ferreira- Everything is Embarrassing (Produced by Blood Orange)
From Jack White's 2012 release Blunderbuss, here are the visuals for "I'm Shakin'" about 2 weeks too late. We normally wouldn't be too keen on an update to a classic like Little Willie's original, but if we were, it would have to have a genius like Jack behind it.
And we dig the way he says 'nervous'.

M.I.A The Book
M.I.A first sent flutters into our heart in 2005, with the opening bars of 'Galang' and she's been a fixture there ever since. If like us, you can't get enough of her and her music (and we are breathlessly waiting on the release of Matangi, if you're reading this) then this news will be right up your street.
If you ever got the sense she was such a creative and talented artiste, the music industry didn't have a box or a genre big enough to contain her, well you'd be right. Now, she has a book. On October 23rd, publishing house Rizzoli released 'M.I.A: The Book', which sounds exactly like the kind of personal, idiosyncratic collection of scribbles we would kill to get a look at:
"A groundbreaking and always controversial musician, M.I.A. is an influential artist and an important cultural figure of the last decade. Here is a documentation of her entire visual output and a telling of her story in collages, photos, and prints from her early years in art school at Central Saint Martins London through to her hugely successful three albums, mixtapes, and live performances at PS1 MoMA, Coachella, various exhibitions, installations, and music video shoots. The artwork is comprised of a wide variety of materials and media: video stills turned to stencils pieced back together to make animated installations; spray-painted canvasses scanned then made into digital collages; photographs videotaped, then run through bad computer connections to create graphic prints; artwork on nails, walls, prints for T-shirts, handmade stage costumes—anything she could find while she was touring. Also included are assorted lyrics and portions of an exclusive interview in which she discusses candidly the personal events and themes which informed her art and music at the time of each campaign. Includes foreword by Steve Loveridge, friend since her art school days and frequent creative collaborator with M.I.A."
When a coffee-table book has a trailer, you know it means business! So we shall just sit here patiently, awaiting word on an international release. And that album.

Black Coffee ft. Bucie- Your Kiss
In 2010, he played a 60-hour set at Mopanya mall in Soweto and broke world-records in the process.
Now in 2012, Nathi Maphumulo, better known as DJ Black Coffee, is making headlines again.
On November 1st, Black Coffee hosted the screening of his DVD, 'Africa Rising' at Mavuso Sports Cafe in Swaziland: it features live musical performances from artists such as Thiwe Mbola, Black Moses and a fan-favourite, the songstress and frequent collaborator Bucie.
Just as before, all proceeds will be donated to his charity, The Black Coffee Foundation.
In recent years, there have been a fair many South-Africans upstarts like Culoe De Song, DJ Kent and DJ What What, who have been getting airplay on the international scene. And yet, not only was Black Coffee one of the pioneers of South African House and Kwaito, but he is using his credibility and status to innovate and develop opportunities for his home country on a global platform. He's clearly showing that he's still leading the way for the South African music scene...
