These 6 songs have brightened up my days so much this week. Dance yourself straight into the weekend. If you would like to keep on dancing, more great tunes will be added to a brand new Soundcloud-playlist at soundcloud.com/pluginbabynl/sets/fuckitletsdance. Have a great weekend!
"Oh Josephine" is another great Vienna Ditto-track taken from their upcoming debut album Circle. Set for release in just a few weeks. The countdown has begun!
Acoustic folk at its finest, this debut record by London-based singer songwriter Lauren Bradford. Over a year ago she shared this beautiful record with me, telling me about the difficulties she had with releasing it. Things seemed to go wrong all around and for a long time there were only a few people enjoying her record. I was one of the lucky ones.
Earlier this year she was finally able to share her work with the public. I apologize for being this slow with sharing this album with you, but once you'll listen to it, you will hopefully just remain thankfull that I eventually did. Lauren has a great voice, writes charming songs and playfully goes about them. Brightening your mood with every note she plays and every word she sings. Just for you. This is one of those sweet albums you need to just dream away with. There's not a care in the world. Everything is beautiful. Life is perfect. With Lauren Bradford and this sweet album she has given the world. What a gift. I love it.
Some records are best enjoyed loud, without my words distracting you from the epic music. Please enjoy the fuck out of this great 5-track record by indie sensation DIET CIG.
This might just become the best record of 2015. This stunning release by Nashville-harpist singer-songwriter Timbre crosses all the musical borders, but never looses sight of what music is all about: Emotions and an intense listening experience.
Based in classical music, Timbre takes us on a journey between light and dark. The Sun and the moon. But don't let the dreamy opening tracks fool you into thinking this is tender, mesmerizing music made for dreamers sitting alone in the dark. The album is best enjoyed in one long spin and you will feel the power of the music lift you as the volume goes up and erupts into a short explosion of sound. Only to return to the dark, slow mesmerizing stillness of the night. It's not an easy listening album. It demands your full attention, but it will give you a lot in return.
This record is over 100 minutes of intense, breathtaking, passionate beauty. It is without a doubt one of a kind and there will never be something like this. It was released not even a month ago, so it's a little strange to name this the best record of 2015. But at the very least this is the best record up to May 5th of this year.
