far out magazine | childhood | rosa brook
“The wonderment of spontaneity and serendipitous findings are rife with both good and bad stuff, but the good stuff prevails.”
So, I’m tweeting, as I am want to do. All pliant and dextrous fingers doing what the brain bids then. Eyes taking it all in, searching fervently for a cool bit of cool to share. I am determined and in the end a very lucky “sum bitch”. Continue reading “far out magazine | childhood | rosa brook”
mr twin sister | in the house of yes
Mr Twin Sister has uncorked the full bright moon and poured heaven down upon us. With the latest track, In The House of Yes, listeners get treated to a jazzy spectacle of musical layer cake and the pièce de résistance (or cherry on top), is Andrea Estella‘s sedative-dusted vocals. Honestly, I think she could literally sing the stars down from on high. No lie.
Look for their self-titled sophomore Mr Twin Sister album soon. In the U.S. it hits the streets running September 23rd. Peace.

denitia and sene | divided | official video
Smooth like smoke from the tip of a Cuban cigar, and as sensuous as morning love, electro-soul duo Denitia & Sene not only exude sexy through their music, they invent it. The Brooklyn-based musicians came together a year ago with a shared vision to bring truth and ingenuity to stylistic music, and they’ve held their ambitions high ever since. Simple. Rare. Sumptuous. Bold.
They’ve been influenced by a range of sonic proclivities. Thus, their work is distinguished not by genre, but attention to free verse, and the magic that transpires between darkness and light. It’s film noir for audiophiles – chic, hip and alluring – and together, they have broken down personal limits to forge a bond surpassing all expectations.
With their latest single, “Divided,” listeners are treated once again to a sensuous sound morsel which only serves to whet our collective appetites for so much more. And we also get plenty more, for there are optics too. The official Divided video puts clothes upon the lyrics and music. But, it not only reveals more artistically it imprints fantasy and ecstasy inside where the our hearts beat.
In case you missed the duos previous 5-track Blah Blah Blah EP click HERE. Also, while I have your full and undivided attention go check out the nude (mssl cmmnd remix).
You can get the single Divided on iTunes. I got mine, for dear reader I couldn’t resist. Peace.
