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.
