Carlos Serrano I applaud you, in taking Kanye’s “Diamonds,” and giving it a dramatic turn using Washed Out as a musical backdrop. Alright I made that deeper than it needed to be. Did anybody catch Justin Bieber last night on SNL, awful, anyways enjoy!
Having the most famous R&B singer for a sister can’t be that awful, but when you are in the same business, I can how that can overshadow your own career. Solange has been at it for awhile now, and she seems to steer clear of regular pop and r&b and make her own imprint with her music. Cyril Hahn takes her current hit “Losing You,” turns the vocals monotone and puts an eerie electric feel to it. The result: something you should listen to immediately.
RAC has been killing the remix scene for awhile, sorry to be short today on descriptions, but having some free time this Sunday, I want to post a lot of new music today.
I first heard Local Natives as I was driving from Maryland to D.C., after my first attempt at skiing. “Wide Eyes,” came on and I was quick to take down the artist and song so I could get it when I got home. It might have very well been the best thing to come out of that trip as my ankle was swollen for over a month after. Lesson learned, guys over 6ft, should not keep their legs pointed straight as they will pick up way to much speed and almost hit a father and son at the bottom of the slope. Anyways here is their new single complete with d/l link.
Modestep takes smooth vocals and combines them with a little electric dubstep to give his personal take on Coldplay’s hit. This works very well and doesn’t at all seem forced. Well done.
Sometimes you need an escape from the norm, after having nothing but Kendrick and KapSlap on repeat in my car, I stumble upon Cocaine 80’s newest EP. When you talk about pure talent, and giving it out for free none the less, you will find this indie supergroup. Fronted by talented songwriter James Flaunteroy, 80’s is pure guitar and drums organic poetry. I can talk all day but I would rather you just click play and check out one of my favorites off their Flower of Life EP, “Ground.” Download the entire project here.
Finally we hear both members of the legendary duo on the same track. Even though it’s a remix, it sounds good to hear them both, now let’s hurry up on that album.
Get ready people, time to hit 88 and grab your Nike MAG sneaks because AOS is going to introduce you to one of the up and comers for 2013. Rockie Fresh is straight out of Chicago and brings a refreshing style and visuals that seem higher quality than most top artists out there. My only worry is that he is signed to Maybach and seeing how Wale’s sounds kinda of changed I do not want the same to happen to Rockie. His mixtape, Electric Highway, comes out January 21st, and if you like this track you can d/l it for free here.
All I can say is the piano loop kills it in this song, great jam. This is from their debut album Mickey Mouse Operation. Check out http://www.littlepeoplemusic.com for more. With this I bid you good night.
Little People – Gravitas
I will just let the jams continue, I posted Broke For Free a couple months back, and now they have released their full EP on the 4th of this month. “Budding,” doesn’t disappoint, this is driving/surfing/movie montage type material. Man oh man, keep it coming.
