I ranked my favourite Jamiroquai albums in reverse order for you to debate or agree with. My list of best to worst Knxwledge albums was tongue in cheek but it appears people are taking it seriously enough to search for his best albums and finding the article. I was tempted to do the same for Jamiroquai but decided against it. And rather than have a…
There’s not one but two songs for this week’s Song For Sunday: Prince’s She Spoke To Me and Michael Jackson’s Call On Me. I was torn between Prince (for obvious reasons) and Michael Jackson for this week’s edition of Song for Sunday. But then I remembered it’s been 6 months since the last one so having two in one week makes up for it. Kinda….
Musician and storyboard artist Louie Zong gets “cozy” with his 80th Bandcamp release. We Bare Bears is my favourite show of the last couple of years. So when I discovered one of the show’s storyboard artists on Twitter, it was an immediate follow. Louie Zong also creates incredible art of his own on his Tumblr but we’re here for the music today. 80 releases is a majestic…
Moroccan musician Malca joins Jakarta Records. This is his latest track, Casablanca Jungle. If you’ve not heard any of Jakarta’s Habibi Funk mixes, get on that now. The label is doing fantastic work restoring Arab music from the past but now they have someone for the present and future. Malca is the newest member of the Jakarta roster. Hailing from Morocco, his blend of pop…
The loss of Prince in April 2015 hit millions of fans in the heart, mind, and soul. I’m still reeling from it. The private star kept much of his work protected from copying or “unauthorised distribution” (ie. his videos on YouTube) but his death opened those floodgates. It also allowed for further critical analysis of his work. After all, morality is often a time of…
We’re on a Vulfpeck tip, so join us in celebrating their latest single called Baby I Don’t Know Oh Oh. Vulfpeck have an uncanny knack of making the simple sound exquisite. Baby I Don’t Know Oh Oh is a cut off their upcoming album and features frequent collaborator Charles Jones, whose velvety smooth vocals marry up beautifully with the band’s instrumentation. It sounds like the new…
This lullaby cover of Raspberry Beret brought me to tears. It’s so cute! I hope my son can enjoy this before he’s too old for lullabies.
Here’s a video of Michael Jackson on the set of the Black or White video just being Michael Jackson. I’m a huge MJ fan and I’d never seen this footage until today. While they waited for “reloads”, Michael had some funny moments with the dancers, John Landis and Derek, a Michael Jackson impersonator. So rare and candid.
Childhood Cassettes looks at the tapes we listened to as young rapscallions. Today, I reminisced about journeys with my dad (alongside Paul Young) to his hometown. I’ve moved house nine times in my life (soon to be ten) and most of them involved a car journey with my dad at the wheel. He started out with a Golf Mk2, followed by the Mk3, a brief…
Clement Marfo returns with a new single including some incredible remixes. On the back of sync music success Breathe of Fresh Air, Clement Marfo is back with follow up track Let The Music Play. The song is lyrically stripped, focussing on the meta-subject of music and how it has the power to heal. Stream it below along with two remixes.
