Good ol’ Speeakz posted up this track a few weeks back and now a month or so later come the visuals. ‘Crystalline’ is taken off Björk incredible new multimedia album Biophilia – if you want to listen to something completely unique – I’d recommend you grab this LP. It’s unlike anything you would have heard before.
No longer a figure of my imagination or a song on my iPod, Abel Tesfaye performed for the first time in his home town as The Weeknd. Wish I could of hopped, skipped and jumped over to Canada for this, but instead here’s a little video of him performing ‘High For This’ taken from the House of Balloons mixtape, that I’m still bumping.
On listening to Little Dragon’s new LP, Ritual Union a couple of weeks back, this track definitely stood out to me as a solid experimental pop song that enticed you to keep listening. So I’m glad to see that this track was given the video treatment. Visually and in line with the song, the graphic art keeps your attention.
Many of our favourite artists have graced our ‘Rehearsal Room’ over the past 6 months, musicians we both admire and respect. As our exclusive show, produced in association with Red Bull Studios London, continues to grow we decided to create a mini-series within it designed solely to put focus on new talent emerging.
Our ethos has always been to concentrate on good music and an important undercurrent of that is discovering and exposing a new generation of music makers. Thus we have filmed a number of new episodes featuring fresh-faced musicians who you may or may not have heard of previously. They were selected for one reason and that reason is that we feel they are among some of tomorrow’s most promising acts.
Our first ‘introduces’ episode features Daley, a young R&B-Soul singer hailing from Manchester who recently signed a deal with Universal Music. In 2010 his vocals featured on ‘Doncamatic’ by Gorillaz which came off the animated bands Plastic Beach album, he was also nominated for the BBC’s Sound of 2011 poll.
Daley’s beautifully complex voice effortlessly evokes emotion and his unique brand of ‘slow-jam’ Soul is as passionate as it is encapsulating. And as he readies the release of his much anticipated mixtape Those Who Wait, he performs an exclusive track called “Be” for us live at Red Bull Studios London.
Q-Tip took to his twitter this morning to confirm that he is currently working on new music with D’Angelo for the singers forthcoming, long overdue comeback album. The ATCQ emcee also mentioned that D has also recorded music with Questlove and that musically speaking “he is on his A game”.
It’s been quite a grim weekend, so this brand new Eric Lau track is a welcome surprise and hopefully should offer some light relief. The song is called ‘This Is For You’ and is being offered as a “thank you” to all Lau’s fans for their continued support. The video up top shows how he produced the track from selecting the sample, to the finalised product.
