sultry, smooth, sexy.

giving up - ingrid michaelson
pretty girl with a pretty voice.
to build a home — the cinematic orchestra
this song has been on repeat all week; super relaxing jam in the vein of bon iver or city and colour.
skinny love (bon iver cover) - birdy
so this song is super old and whatnot but its still crazy beautiful. birdy was fifteen or something like that when she wrote this, and man, do i hope she continues to showcase her talent.
young adult friction — the pains of being pure at heart
mornin’ - star slinger
back at school. no reason to continue let this slipping. this song has been on repeat ever since i got back to the USA. beautiful soul sample and a great backed beat by none other than star slinger himself.
finally moving — pretty lights
lentil — sia
sia is best known as the lead singer of the group zero 7, but i have been in love with her solo work since first hearing the song “breathe me” three or four years ago. she has such a beautiful, unique voice and is so talented at expressing emotion in her songs.
Yourstru.ly Presents: Tyler, the Creator from Yours Truly on Vimeo.
the dudes over at yours truly met up with tyler, the creator from OFWGKTA to talk about his musical beginnings. check it.
something i’ve found recently that i really enjoy is when an artist does a remix of their own song. in honor of that, here’s some of my favorite original/remixes by the same people.
void — seekae
Seekae - Void Reprise by sinstone
seekae is a three piece australian group who are really talented; their music has a hazy ambient/electronica with some really infectious melodies.
Gold panda - you from quatuorlindsay on Vimeo.
you. — gold panda
gold panda use heavy sampling for their musical basis and just makes really interesting music with a wide ranging assortment instruments and noises.
my name is skrillex — skrillex
my name is skrillex (skrillex remix) — skrillex
i like the opposing nature of these two songs, mostly for the difference in composition and overall feel in each one. skrillex is talented as evidenced by these two compositions, and testifies to his multi-talented nature as a performer.
feeling good — nina simone
sweet music to my tired ears.
majestic 12 (super mal remix) — dada ft. the other
my week has been full of library time, psychological inquiries, paper writing, and lack of sleep. but this weekend is summer sendoff, and in honor of the most glorious day at kenyon college, here’s the happiest song ever fucking created.
yesterdays — billie holiday
lover’s start — how to dress well
ride/frindship — terror pigeon dance revolt
last night i had the pleasure of meeting/seeing rich aucoin, terror pidgeon dance revolt, and gobble gobble play at my school. it was easily one of the most high energy fun show’s i’ve ever been to. go out and support any of these dudes any chance you get, because their music is infectious and enticing: it’s an electronic version of the punk music every 13 year old loved
