Stream: Björk - Come To Me (Vulnicura Live Version)

Björk's Vulnicura Live Version album is finally out on all formats! Initially it was a physical only in collaboration with Rough Trade who got an exclusive version for eight months. NOW all those are out of print and we get to stream it, finally! Fin the full album on Spotify here. Teaser track below is the magical Come To Me from her absolute landmark solo debut album, Debut, from 1993. We love it so, and here it's transformed from almost a lullaby into something from another realm. The opening line alone is hypnotizing with its echo and it's gleaming and so suggestive that we get goose bumps. The added sharpness and dark side is transfixing and B's voice sounds incredible. The Arca musical collaboration thrusts the music into a starry night filled with burning desires and crystal clear waters with a black sand sea bed. LOVE IT! The album sounds incredible and we love the focus on Vulnicura but with nods to other different album eras. It ties her tour together in the most perfect way.        

Live: Aretha Franklin (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman @ Kennedy Center Honors 2015

Yes, yes, yes! Legendary Aretha Franklin totally shut it down at the Kennedy Center Honors 2015 that aired in the US last night. Honoring Carole King she sang (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, had Carole stunned beyond belief and made Barack Obama cry. At 73 she still has her vocal game on top and we just love when she plays the piano! Honestly we can all go home now - Aretha showed us where the door is, haha. Incredibly good and heartfelt - a performance for the ages. Watch in awe below!  

Adele - Hello & When We Were Young - Live @ SNL

Adele is having a fantastic release week of 25, of course she is - she's AMAZING. In the US alone she sold 900K copies on iTunes in ONE day. We cannot wait to see the global sales next week - they'll be unreal. She performed Hello and When We Were Young and also saved Thanksgiving on SNL last night. She might as well rename herself as SLAYDELE as she slayed everyone. Sounding fantastic and so effortless and amazin'. She deserves it ALL - she's incredible. ENJOY below! 

Premiere: Adele - When We Were Young (Live at The Church Studios)

While the world waits with bated breath for Adele to drop her 25 album in three days - here's something to tide ya over. We're getting a live version of a never before heard track - When We Were Young. We like the fact that with Adele it's focus on the music. It kinda feels like it must've been when Michael Jackson followed up Thriller with Bad. But in this case it's music first and image later. In a low key setting we're getting a taste of that immense talent of hers. It's wistful, not as catchy as Hello but still moving + the ending is too cute. Enjoy! Thoughts? 

Stream: Róisín Murphy - Live @ Berlin Festival

Róisín Murphy is out on the road and played the Berlin Festival over the weekend. What a treat to be able to listen to it! She sounds ace of course and her band is sooo tight. A pleasure to realise how vast her catalogue is and that she mixes her solo stuff with her club collaborations and throws in some Moloko and makes it sound so effortless and seamless. Love it! Listen to 13 tracks below - enjoy!
