Combining the lulling ambiance of shoegaze with the iconic melodies and vocal prowess of classic American country music, outlaw cowboy, Orville Peck croons about love and loss from the badlands of North America. The resulting sound is entirely his own. He takes the listener down desert highways, through a world where worn out gamblers, road-dogs, and lovesick hustlers drift in and out of his masked gaze.
British GQ, Vogue, and others talked about him, he’s a good friend of Diplo. Fashionably Male webzine, covered some new pics, and you can see him in the next link:
Next in the compiler hotseat for seminal mix series ‘Back to Mine’ is the ever popular and world renowned Jungle. The mix delves through the band’s personal collection of leftfield-pop, deep house, modern jazz, Afro-funk and symphonic soul.
From bedroom studio duo to talent-filled seven-strong live collective, Jungle — led by Josh Lloyd-Watson and Tom McFarland — shot to success in 2014 with their self titled debut album. Online word-of-mouth, IRL buzz, rave reviews, and a Mercury Music Prize nomination led to half a million sales, burgeoning DJ careers, and a global tour that lasted two years. In 2018 Jungle released their second album ‘For Ever’, a lush, psychedelic, kaleidoscopic, romantic record defined by their journeys simultaneously geographical, professional and personal.
Their Back To Mine mix kicks off with Barbara Moore’s evocative ‘Steam Heat’, fittingly originally written for De Wolfe music library as a cue for a journey down a jungle river, before Inflo, Jungle’s producer on ‘For Ever’, drops an addictive bump of Afro-funk. Picking things up, Jungle switch from 90s disco by Merle to more recent house tracks by Manuel Darquart and Drumtalk. Bristol DJ Admin provides the percussion heavy ‘Space Cadet’ and the irrepressible Mocky supplies good vibes on ‘How It Goes’.
The second half of the mix features a more eclectic selection starting with the sophisticated pop of The Marías and Sam Evian and the slow motion symphonic soul of ‘Super Rich Kids’ by Sly5thAve. There’s a spotlight for modern jazz with tracks by Kamaal Williams, Mansur Brown and BadBadNotGood featuring Kaytranada. Before it’s time to leave, we also hear modern gospel-influenced soul by The Flying Stars of Brooklyn, mysterious band Sault with the timeless ‘Masterpiece’, Paul Cherry’s lo-fi dream pop ballad ‘Like Yesterday’, and a perfect closer to any set: ‘Sunday’ by HNNY. Jungle also gift Back To Mine with the exclusive ‘Come Back A Different Day’.
Imagine you’re lounging on a soft white beach, nothing but rolling aqua on the horizon. The breeze blows salty in your hair, the seagulls caw, and the taste of coconut and rum lingers on your lips. Someone sweet calls to you, and you follow them to the dance floor. The sun sets slowly into burnt orange and neon pink, then falls into deep blue and endless stars.
Such is the mood Kaskade wants to set for you with a 15-track musical getaway, out today (Aug. 3). Destinations Tulum is the name of the game, and it’s cheaper than flying to Mexico. It’s a compilation out on the DJ and producer’s Arkade record outlet, featuring dream-weaving tunes from Kaskade and some of his favorite music makers.
“Arkade presents: Tulum is the first in a series of compilations about traveling the world and becoming emotionally attached to different locations,” Kaskade says in an emailed statement. “I’ve developed personal relationships with the moods of different spots, and wanted to start with Tulum as it’s always lingered with me. I hope with the compilation…I can bring back the feeling of being in Tulum. A sensory experience of sitting on the beach and walking through the town.”
It’s a well-established fact that Allie X can do no wrong. From 2014’s “Catch” to the recently-released “Fresh Laundry,” the Canadian auteur always comes at pop from a unique perspective. That’s particularly true of “Rings A Bell.” Songs about finding The One are a dime a dozen, but few liken the discovery of your soulmate to a case of déjà vu. “The way you move, it rings a bell,” she coos over OZGO’s slinky synths. “The way you stare, it casts a spell.” Ms. X elaborates as the chorus unfolds.
“As if you knew me well, must have been a reason for this feeling ’cause it rings a bell,” Allie sings. “Could swear that we’ve been here before, ’cause in your arms I feel so sure.” Given her prolific output and love for oddball CollXtions, “Rings A Bell” could wind up anywhere. We’re coming up to the one-year anniversary of Super Sunset, so I guess it’s about time that Allie starting chipping away at album three. If “Rings A Bell” is any indication, it’s going to be another pop triumph. Listen below.
Vérité has shared her new song ‘Think Of Me’ — tune in now.
The songwriter can only speak of her own experiences, a voice that delves into her own life time and time again.
New album — her second to date — ‘New Skin’ drops on October 25th, with Vérité sharing another preview.
There’s a twist in the tale, though, as the songwriter looks back on lack of commitment from a former lover.
“In the moment, being cheated on is devastating,” she admits. “Six years later, I can look back on it with some humor and lightness.”
“This song was another rare look back. I can remember being so vacant from that relationship and focused on my work and career, I literally didn’t notice the person next to me crumbling. But in hindsight it feels so light and funny to me and I wanted to translate this dark thing in a bubbly, cheeky way.”
Adding another twist to the lyric, she explains: “I walked into the studio with the lyric, ‘I hope you fuck her with your eyes closed’ and ‘think of me’ was the only way that sentence could be finished.”
Tune in now.
Perfume Genius has shared a new song from The Sun Still Burns Here, his forthcoming dance performance collaboration with choreographer Kate Wallich and the YC dance company. Check out “Pop Song” below. It’s the second track to be released from the production, following “Eye in the Wall.”
The Sun Still Burns Here, which debuted earlier this month in Seattle, will also be performed in New York, Minneapolis, and Boston. Find a trailer below; tickets are available now. Mike Hadreas’ last album as Perfume Genius, No Shape, was released in 2017.
Beck has detailed his upcoming album Hyperspace and shared a pair of new tracks from the LP, single “Uneventful Days” and album opener “Hyperlife.” Hyperspace, Beck’s followup to 2017’s Colors, arrives November 22nd.
Like its predecessor, “Saw Lightning,” “Uneventful Days” was co-written and co-produced by Pharrell Williams. While the previous single blended Beck’s slacker folk leanings with Williams’ upbeat hip-hop productions, their latest collaboration takes a more polished, synth-heavy approach.
Jennifer Lopez’s newest song may not be familiar to the English-speaking U.S., but it’s already a huge hit in Latin America: “Baila Conmigo,” a brassy, hard-driving club record originally produced by Dayvi and Victor Cardenas and sung by Kelly Ruiz.
“Baila Conmigo” was released at the end of 2018, and it has been bubbling for months. Dayvi’s version started to appear on Spotify’s Global Viral 50 chart in May. The following month, the track hopped over to Mexico’s Viral 50 as well. In Colombia, Dayvi’s single charted on the Viral 50 along with another track by Fumaratto that used the same horns.
In a time when música urbana is queen, the most successful pop singer-songwriters are the most adaptable. This summer the Latin Grammy-nominated songwriter Camilo Echeverry teamed up with his fellow nominee, Puerto Rican hitmaker Pedro Capó, in “Tutu”: an alluring love song, fashioned with a dembow bounce. Now, after amassing over 175 million YouTube views, “Tutu” is further expanding its reach with a surprise A-list remix — starring none other than Colombian pop icon, Shakira.
“It’s like a dream come true,” Echeverry tells Rolling Stone of working with Shakira. “I tried to be the most professional that I could, but I was like fangirling all the time. The first cassette that I had in my life was Shakira’s ¿Donde Están Los Ladrones?.”
A remix album based off of Fever Ray’s Plunge will land on Rabid Records in December.
The collection, which comes in a 21-track digital version, a 10-track vinyl edition and an 18-track CD, compiles remixes of the RA Recommended album that have been meted out over the last two years. Remixers include Björk, DJ Marfox and Tzusing, as well as Plunge collaborators Paula Temple, Peder Mannerfelt and Tami T. Olof Dreijer, Fever Ray’s counterpart in The Knife, also contributes.
Listen to the Glasser remix of Fever Ray’s “Flying.”
An EP with 6 songs that combine advanced electronics with guitars and orchestral arrangements. Once again, the artist surprises us with a first installment of what can be a series of EPs in which she promises to continue breaking public expectations. Month eccentricitès Vol. 1 by Spanish singer Monica Naranjo is the sound of a creator without fear and with an unstoppable desire for exploration, one of its constants, which remains intact.
The album opens with the song “Le Psychiatrique”, which is a suite of more than 13 minutes with elements of all the songs of the EP, as a mini symphony of a crushing baroque.
A work that allows us to enter a universe of constant chiaroscuros and very diverse sonorities. “Double heart” is an emotional carousel of almost five minutes — at least in its edit version, also included — that is a tribute to his grandmother Robledo, one of the women who has inspired him most in his life. A song that is both symphonic and technohousera that leaves no one indifferent. “Free love” lives up to what counts; It is a hymn of freedom of great rock power that invites desmelene and the celebration of individuality. “We sing to the truth, patron and saint of equality […] Deliver us from walls and laments, deliver us from walls and deserts …”, repeated in it which mantra Monica Naranjo, wrapped by wild electric guitars.
Faced with the bravery of these two songs, it breaks the delicate simplicity of “Nana”, naked ballad, minimalist and full of air, which tells the story of a secret love for a woman and in which, again, she tells us of the need To love in freedom and without limits. A full-fledged statement — yet more — of the artist’s love for her music, which with Mes eccentricitès Vol. 1 opens a new chapter in her career that we are looking forward to seeing the continuation.
