Sharon Van Etten - Your Love Is Killing Me

When it kicks off with its marching drums and funereal organs,

it almost sounds like a RZA concoction. Then that haunting 

voice cuts through and you realize one of indie folk's most

spellbinding singer-songwriters has returned

Off her fourth album 'Are We There' out May 27th

via Jagjaguwar, this stunner finds Sharon Van Etten

honing her mastery of magnetic melancholia. With

lyrics that are simple yet gut-busting and instrumentation

more lush than her last album, it is a miracle

how she fashions a doomed dysfunctional love into

a thing of grace and catharsis.

Royksopp & Robyn - Do It Again (Lyric Video)

It's kinda ridiculous the magnitude of this collaboration.
It is not the first time. Even more insane, their unions
have resulted in hits like "The Girl & The Robot"
and "None of Dem". "Do It Again" fits right into
the canon.

This earworm is from their upcoming mini-album
of the same name out May 26 via Cherrytree/Interscope.
Somehow Royksopp and Robyn have joined forces
to create a monstrosity that is a sexy electro party jam
doubling as a workout anthem.

Protein shake not needed....

HAIM - If I Could Change Your Mind (Cerrone Funk Mix)

HAIM made a great impression last year with Days Are Gone

their smashing debut. It showed a trio of young yet seasoned

performers taking a note from R&B and pop of the 70s and 80s. 

While HAIM have been remixed, the work of French disco legend

Cerrone sets itself apart from the rest.

Ross/Kanye/Sean - Sanctified (Brenmar Remix)

Kanye West already knocked this out the park when

he slid Rozay this gem. A lot of people were glad to see

him out of Yeezus-mode for the original version. Trust,

Brenmar to make the banger a lot more club friendly.

The way he uses the classic Rick Ross adlib to segway

out of the hook is truly masterful. Then he cherry picks

the best brashest lines from the song and turns them into a

sweaty manifesto.

100 million dollars and a bad bitch?

 Most certainly.

Leif Knowles - Dinas Oleu (Album)

If it took this guy 10 years in the music business to finally

drop an album, that shit better be bonkers. Luckily, this 

deep house beauty is worth the wait. 

DJ/Producer Leif Knowles has crafted a lush majestic journey

with 'Dinas Oleu' out now via Fear of Flying. This

is house music littered with orchestral flourishes, 

natural sounds, reverb, oddly rooted in ambient

downtempo chillout.

The engineering/production through out is a marvel.

It's not every time a mix just breathes like this.

Disclosure - Latch (DJ Premier Remix)

Disclosure's 'Settle' was one of the biggest dance/electronic 

albums of 2013. Not long since they announced that

they would be dropping a remix album, that we get hit

with, of all people, - DJ Premier's contribution.

Nothing else to say. It's DJ Premier.

Tinashe - Vulnerable (feat. Travi$ Scott) [VIDEO]

Tinashe just hit us with a third mixtape - Black Water,
to round out Reverie and In Case We Die,
both generally well received.
 Over a Boi-1da twilit trap soundscape, Tinashe
tells how she will get you in a vulnerable...position.

G.O.O.D. Music artist Travi$ Scott drops by
at the end and absolutely slaughter's
his verse.

It's up there for a rap and R&B collab.
