earworms, #5

Morning, people! At first listen, the week seemed promising, but then at second - not that much. At third, a couple of true gems emerged and there is no way in the world I am not talking about them.

1. Ibeyi - Deathless ft Kamasi Washington

We’re kicking off with a deep dive. The French-Cuban twins Lisa and Naomi have a significant musical background and vast creative potential. Bringing together Yoruba ethno-chants and modern electronic hip-hop beats, they come up with original sound in their loaded with mystical energy songs. Deathless is the second installment out from their sophomore record Ash (due Sept 29th). It is a captivating track celebrating life and everything that is bigger than us, no matter what kind of a twisted reality we’re living in. The video to the song is brilliant in its own terms and if that’s not enough to get your attention, guest-starring is no other but the jazz-master Kamasi Washington.

2. Skott - Remain

In Remain Skott roams the new realms of auto-tune, vocal manipulation and electronic tricks. By that, I don’t imply anything negative, no, she is just exploring new musical grounds and techniques, to make her tunes even more diverse. For now, it’s a success.

3. Vera - Falling ft. Okay Kaya

Falling is one of those mellow, blue songs that bring such a good, lighthearted spirit and make you appreciate all the small simple things in life, regardless of the occasional pinch of salt. It’s a perfect fit for a road trip playlist, along with classics such as Arcade Fire, that Sara Tavares song and Chambao.

4. Frank Ocean - Provider

After what seemed like a lifetime of silence, Frank wants to (obviously) make it up to us and releases new music far more often than expected. Do we complain? Not at all. Does he “provide”? Yes, definitely.

5. Louis Mattrs - Searching & Pink Lemonade

Louis Mattrs surely has a beautiful, tender voice that goes hand in hand with a soulful genre such as r&b. Searching and Pink Lemonade are both made by the the rules of the modern version of that style and they are in no way bad songs per se. There is, however, a certain unpleasant aftertaste of mainstream cheats, stronger than one would expect.

5a. Elli Ingram - Stone Cold

For reasons unknown, it’s inevitable to talk about Louis Mattrs and not mention Elli Ingram. As I said last week, Love You Really is out Sep 15th and Stone Cold is another track out from it. Ingram delivers delicious jazzy and funky vibes in an even clearer and more classic style with her incredible and lush voice.

6. Jessie Ware - Selfish Love

More associations. Speaking of classics - it’s a classic French film about love. Starring - Ms. Ware and her fabulous vocals.

It’s time for dessert, kids! This time it’s more about the video than the song. And it’s not because the song is bad, but because by the time it got the visuals, it was already a bit rusty by our standards, which is in fact another reason to have it on repeat for the past 3 months or so. Anyway. Cersei Lannister may be an extremely unpleasant character (the archetypal bitch?) but Lena Heady is one of our favourite popular faces. Ladies and gents, to your attention - Ill Ray (The King) and Her Majesty Lena.

Lastly, for those who love long records, it’s time to give what’s due to all the brilliant albums that have been put out in the last seven days. Whether because autumn’s here and we’re all back to work, or because they’ve been recharged with fresh creative energy, lots of our dearest artists honored September’s very first day with a record. I mean the long-anticipated american dream by LCD, Bicep’s phenomenal debut of the same name, INHEAVEN’s equally great first LP and the dramatic-sounding titles by Jake Bugg and Daughter. Kojey Radical, a hot young multidisciplinary artist, also released his awaited project In Gods Body.

In the single category - recent tracks by Nothing But Thieves, Fink and Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile.

Bye and see ya soon!
