Premiere: Bat For Lashes - I Do

Wow, just last night we were dreamin' of new Bat For Lashes - and here it iiiisss! I Do is the lead single for upcoming album, possibly titled Save The Date, out perhaps (?) on July 1st - and it's damn romantic. Did she go and record a wedding album? Only Natasha Khan could make us wanna listen to a whole lovey dovey album, haha. The harp intro is really fine and the sparse atmosphere that builds and deepens is lovely. And as always that voice that is so amazing and emotive. Thoughts?  

Premiere: St. Vincent - Emotional Rescue (The Rolling Stones Cover)

Hell yes! New St. Vincent! For the A Bigger Splash OST she's recorded a cover of The Rolling Stones 1980 hit Emotional Rescue. SO HOT! We loooove the more funky sound to Annie's version. It's less gritty but more urgent somehow. Polished yet evokes serious hotness. PLUS THAT SAX! Saxy sax and a funky bassline + guitar riffs with a hot vocal on top - perfection. Enjoy! 

Premiere: KStewart - Be Without You

London based rising act KStewart has teamed up with MNEK for a walk (dance more like) down to a big room club and we ain't complainin' one bit. Be Without You is a JAM - those licks alone are worth admission for sure. K's vocals are on point, the beat tight and bouncy plus all of it is marinated in a h o  t 90's themed production. LOVE! Enjoy! 

Premiere: Ben Abraham - Hyperballad (Björk Cover)

Björk's incredible Hyperballad had its single release from Post exactly 20 years ago today. Wow! Australian artist Ben Abraham has done a cover of it to celebrate and it's a gorgeous take. Ben's amazing voice over a stunning string arrangement by Luke Howard really does the original justice. It's a fresh look from the top of the mountain without losing any of the earthy roots. The same goes for the electronic Tim Shiel. It's a shimmering tone that gleams and striking like a ray of light on a dark summer morning. All in all: top marks! Ben's debut album Sirens is out on March 4th via Secretly Canadian.  

Premiere: James Blake - Modern Soul

New James Blake releases always feels like events. He's truly unique and ya never know what new material will sound like. Modern Soul is wonderfully disjointed and cohesive all at once - just like how we like our Blake. It's a lil' retro soul + gospel mixed with a future gaze and avant garde approach. Too nice! PLUS THAT VOICE - so amazing!
