Janelle Monae - “Make Me Feel”

Janelle broke my internet yesterday with the release of her two new singles/videos from her upcoming new album “Dirty Computer”.

Prince was Janelle’s mentor for many years, and his spirit is all over this production. From lyrics, to production to visuals - many many references hiding in plain sight (the raspberry berets). I love it all.

Twin Shadow is back!

Young Fathers - “In My View”

Beautiful song and video by Young Fathers. Genuinely moved by the message of the video showing the vulnerable male body.

Arcade Fire - “Electric Blue”

My love for Arcade Fire’s front woman Regine Chassagne was rekindled with this track off of their coming new album Everything Now. Still quite excited by the sound on these new tracks, having been less than impressed with Reflektor.

Lana Del Rey feat. the Weeknd - “Lust For Life”

Not able to find a proper link to the better track off of the new Lana album: “Beautiful People Beautiful Problems (feat.Stevie Nicks)”, so you will have to make due with the title track. Not bad either :)

Blue Hawaii - “No One Like You”

After what seems to have been a hiatus Blue Hawaii are back! Quite a different sound, but a lovely little chill track for the summer.

Arcade Fire - “Everything Now”

I’ve been holding back with the AF love for years now. From being one of my favourite bands of all time, everything that’s been released since “Neon Bible” has been a bit of a personal let down for me tbh. The new single “Everything Now” is giving me hope, the late 70′s disco aesthetics are corny-cool and Regine’s backing vocals fill me with glee.

Toro y Moi - “Girl Like You”

From the upcoming album “Boo Boo” out July 7th
