“Land of the Snakes” - J.Cole
Here’s one of our favs from J.Cole’s new album, Born Sinner. Dedicated, with love, to the United Snakes.
“Youth” - Daughter (Zebra Safari Remix)
Elena Tonra has the voice of an angel. We swoon, we die. Hopefully most of you have heard the “Youth” original; if you haven’t, prepare for some introspective reflection. And in the meantime, check out the Zebra Safari remix below…It’s a little bit more upbeat, but therefore more likely to put a little “hop” in your step this sunny Monday morning.
“Get Teenager Outta DJ Way” (Katy vs. Kylie vs. Usher vs. Madonna) - Ryson
Admittedly we have as much of a soft spot for Katy Perry as we do Ke$ha (sorry, we’re not sorry). Moreover, our love for Aussie-born Kylie runs quite deep as well. So what happened when DJ Ryson decided to mash the two together AND added in a little Usher AND some Madonna? Well we were over the moon.
Sentimental Saturdays: Bringing mash-ups from 2010 to listeners like you.
“More Than Normal” - Alan Wilkis (feat. Childish Gambino)
Donald, Donald, Donald. While we loved you in Community (and Girls!), we all know your true calling is that of “lyricist extraordinaire.” No, but seriously! “Yes, I stay fly and well read like a cardinal”…We had to listen a few times to catch your wit, but that’s half the charm. In other words, that NYU Dramatic Writing degree was well worth it. Kudos.
“VRDSNT” - PLOY
Trust us, this is exactly what you need to make it through Thursday. Friday’s almost here, folks…Hang in there!
“Go Kindergarten” (feat. Robyn & Sean Combs & Paul Rudd)
Literally. What the *eff* is this. We mean, it’s amazing. But what. Is it.
(Paul Rudd + Robyn = Most Epic Combo Ever!)
Roll on Wednesday.
“Out Of Yourself” - Truls
For every new hot Scandinavian pop act that hits the scene, another pop star somewhere else in the world bites the dust. No, but seriously…Lez be honest: for every Carly Rae Jepsen, there are like five (FIVE!) Robyns. And now there’s Truls. Hailing from Norway, this viking has the voice of an angel. Again, we kid you not; prepare to be shocked by his soaring falsetto. The end.
“Mr. Martyr” - Young Fathers
Young Fathers releases their second EP/mixtape tomorrow…We’ve taken the chance to preview, and let me tell you: this shit is dope. Some of the lyrics are pretty heavy, but we’d expect nothing less from the Scottish trio. Can’t wait until tomorrow? Check out the exclusive sneak peak here.
“Cinderella” - Diana Vickers
In a post-“Call Me Maybe” world, it’s good to know that pop princesses like Diana are still capable of making a proper smasher. And they don’t need to collab with the likes of Owl City to do so. Well done Vicko!
“Fire” - Bipolar Sunshine
This song is so freakin’ beautiful. From the spoken word, to the Notebook vocal snippet, there is just an incredible amount of heart-wrenching goodness here. Bipolar Sunshine’s EP “Aesthetics” is out June 17th; it’s going to be a good one, folks.
