sita | you’re nobody ’till somebody loves you | video


 
Sita delivers a spellbinding rendition of James Arthur’s classic You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You. Her approach and execution are sparse, yet nonetheless effectively breath taking. Listen as she twists and turns this song into coiled honey. Pulling it inside out sweetly and deftly with an angel’s voice. This one leaves your ears a bloody mess by songs end. I got vertigo on the first listen, so you’ve been warned.

Expect much more from the phenomenal Sita Yebga in 2014, and like always The Earology Dept. will keep you in the loop. Peace. Continue reading “sita | you’re nobody ’till somebody loves you | video”

sampha // too much + happens (single)


 
Sampha is an artist with the ability to crack your heart open like an egg. Oh the pleasure and pain runneth over… One his release, Too Much/Happens, this single is overflowing with so much promise it hurts. These soulfully packed songs posses the brash temerity and robust wherewithal to take up residence in your heart without shame or even a single thought of rejection or eviction. The latter track Happens spills beautifully, leaving a listener sodden and smitten beyond one’s desire to resist. As a matter of fact you just might grab your lover and slow dance until  the stars fall into a light-less slumber and the oceans cry themselves into wasted desserts. You can cop the single on iTunes right now, and like me I am certain you’ll play it over and over again. Peace. Continue reading “sampha // too much + happens (single)”

hayden james // hayden james ep

 

 hayden james  //  hayden james ep

 
Hayden James will turn your ears out. It’s as simple as that. This Australian crooner serves it up hot and sticky with little room for resistance. Back in June he hit us hard with his Permission To Love joint, and even though its been several months since many have yet to recover. On his recently released and self-titled EP via Future Classic, the track Permission To Love is neatly packaged and scantily clad along side four additional lush tracks. Maybe its the coming Fall weather that has me stocking up on the slow and sensual jams. For playa’s and lovers alike know cold weather ’tis the season for snugglin’ and close quarter romance, right? And Hayden James is standard issue for undercover extracurricular “activities” and akin to throwing another log on the fire. Peace. Continue reading “hayden james // hayden james ep”

basecamp | basecamp ep


 

basecamp  //  basecamp ep

 
Although BASECAMP may hail from Nashville, Tennessee this this trio of producers, singers and songwriters uproot any and all preconceptions of what geography may dictate.  Yet, in todays’ modern age of a musical world without borders is it really surprising that they sound like a sponge dropped into the bucket of R&B forethought, afterthought and future thought? No, not really. Listen to their self-titled BASECAMP EP and luxuriate within sensual bass and lush synth bubbles for theirs is a sound replete with lavender scented candles alight with flickering flame. The BASECAMP release includes four wondrous tracks and each one is scintillatingly hot (my fav is 2 Thingz). Listen to all after the jump and download them all for FREE! How freakin’ cool is that. Enjoy. Peace. Continue reading “basecamp | basecamp ep”

rainy milo // deal me briefly

With barely a fistful of songs the young neophyte and Neo R&B/Pop princess Rainy Milo is fast becoming quite the prolific artist with yet another release. Check out her latest, the Deal Me Briefly track was produced by down under soul-man Chet Faker and this track sounds a lot more grown up and musically sophisticated than her previous offerings. This one twists and undulates hypnotically through your ears and goads the body to respond likewise. Additional work includes both her Limey and Black & Blonde EPs. Check ’em out. Peace.

We’re reaching back into the R&B archive with this one. Peep the ultimate summer remix as the perpetual summertime man Viceroy puts his Midas touch all over Ginuwine‘s Pony (circa 1996). As if this song wasn’t already sensual enough, now it’s just a sexual euphemism overdose. Also, let the music play with the Viceroy & Vita Coco Tapes Vol. 2, it washes over you like a welcoming cool breeze on a idyllic tropical beach. Peace.

loraine chia // so shy

It isn’t hard to imagine the success this young 19-year old singer/songwriter (Loraine Chia) is bound to have in the years to come. And as long as she keeps jumping our bones with sweet melodies like, Shy she’ll be just fine. I also have a soft spot for her good time, groove-heavy track Fly High. Ms. Chia definitely has a vibe all her own.  And I’m betting in 2013 she’ll rise like the sun and stars quite beautifully. Peace. Continue reading “loraine chia // so shy”

our sunday best: anaye ☿♥ pu$$y palace ☿♥

Juicy hardcore cuties…

 

anaye | pu$$y palace

 
When is the last time you heard a fresh out the box socially conscious female Hip Hop Rap duo dropping it sickly out of Stockholm, Sweden? That’s what I thought. Anywho, check out the female MC’s Anaye (MayDar & Beastie). Their brand new debut offering is the salacious Pu$$y Palace EP and frankly feminism never sounded so fly. I’m lovin’ ’em from head to toe. My fav track is Bad Wolf feat. Moa. Oh! How it rocks! Put these rhymes on repeat. Peace. Continue reading “our sunday best: anaye ☿♥ pu$$y palace ☿♥”
