James Blake - I Need A Forest Fire featuring Bon Iver

I’ve been in love with James Blake’s voice and talent since Retrograde and my love was rekindled by his feature on Beyonce’s track, Forward. So I was extremely excited to hear about his own surprise album release. And now a video for one of my favourite tracks, I Need A Forest Fire, off the new album, The Colour In Anything, has been released. The video directed by UVA takes you through a number of abstract art installations in a dark room with shots here and there of James Blake himself.

Sidebar: James Blake and Bon Iver’s vocals merge seamlessly on this track. It’s just effing beautiful.

Andra Day - Rise Up (Inspiration version)

Andra Day’s stand out album track, Rise Up, is so addictive! The song will definitely get you in your feelings and now Andra has dropped a video to match the emotional and inspirational track. The video follows a couple - a paralysed vet and his nurse/lover who cares for him. The simple and stunning video was directed by M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense). 

Rise Up can be found on Andra Day’s 2015 debut album, Cheers To The Fall which was nominated for Best R&B album at the 2016 Grammys.

Stand out tracks for me are the title track, Cheers To The Fall, Rise Up and City Burns.

Side bar: Andra Day also released and introspective video version of Rise Up which you can check out here .

ON THE HUNT PLAYLIST

I think spring/April should sound like mid-tempo and up-tempo electronic pop. Winter is over, the first quarter of the year is almost over. Another chance for a fresh positive start to the rest of the year. Here's my interpretation of what I want April to sound like.

12 tracks, 42 minutes.  Enjoy.

Terror Jr- 3 Strikes

Kylie jenner’s lip commercial video (or her video director) put everyone on to this track and I don’t care, that was badass because this song is the best and only great thing about that commercial. If you’ve ever listened to Kiiara, you’ll hear the similarities to her music and this. Well that’s because the guys who produced her stuff (Felix Snow and David aka Campa) produced this, small world ay?

will.i.am - Boys & Girls featuring Pia Mia 

I have realised that I am in love with any track that is influenced by 70s & 80s music and more specifically is laced with slinky synths! Call me Lola-Synth from now on lol.

Chloe x Halle - Drop

The former YouTube cover stars are now signed to Beyonce’s Parkwood Entertainment label and are incredibly talented! Their vocal tunes are soon unique and clearly Beyonce’s vocal coach has been working with these young ladies. ❤️

“I hope you recognise a real one when you see one”

Skizzy Mars - Recognize featuring Jojo

I honestly have no idea who Skizzy Mars is (the only Mr Mars I know and love is Bruno Mars) but that’s not that important tbh. There are 2 key reasons to listen to this song - (1) Jojo’s soft, perfect vocals and (2) the chorus - Probably because I love any beat that utilises synths and guitar licks. I’m pretty sure the chorus samples another old skool track, but I can’t figure it out right now. Either way this track is slightly addictive! Well done Skizzy!

Skizzy Mars debut LP, Alone Together drops on April 8th.

Zayn Malik - BeFour

I’m going to need Zayn to stop with the annoying spelling of words. But other than that I CAN’T ACTUALLY WAIT FOR MIND OF MINE TO DROP! This song is so good! From the vocals to the production! Mind of Mine is looking like it’s going to be one of the best alternative-pop/R&B albums of 2016! I’m hoping the other tracks are as good as this.. Only 8 days to go till it drops..
