Introducing: 3615 Nuits Blanches - About Last Night [L.O.V.E. Ltd - LOVELP1]

Parisian duo 3615 Nuits Blanches debut with a fantastic collection of songs. About Last Night is an album filled to brim with hypnotic synths and breathy vocals that are simply divine. The initial feeling is sadness paired with rainy and empty streets in a big city. But diving in behind it there is a lot of soul, empathy and love hiding in the shadows. No one can create beautiful music like this and be cold and/or numb. The bombastic 80's feel combined with a minimalistic vibe is tantalizing to say the least and we want to hear moooore. Love it!  

Full Album Stream: Paloma Faith - A Perfect Contradiction

Paloma Faith's highly anticipated third album A Perfect Contradiction comes out March 10th and is now streaming in full. Wow, what an amazing collection of songs! Lead single Can't Rely On You opens up and sets the tone. Badass. Mouth to Mouth comes next and drops a classic disco beat all over the place. We love the incredible mix of Motown, disco and we definitely hear some Etta James and James Brown in there too. Only Love Can Hurt Like This is a stunning track lamenting love gone wrong, and the powerful shrieks truly delivers the message perfectly. It has to be said, references and all, Paloma's unique voice is front and center and she sounds so on fire and wonderfully badass and awesome. The production is super tight and we are so snatching this up on Monday to treasure dearly. Wow! Thoughts?!

The Best of 2013: The Year In Music

We were gonna post our annual Best of list on Monday. But with the hurricane force winds and floodings (right outside our HQ) in Europe now is a good a time as any for some sweet beats! It's been another incredible year in music and we wanna say thank you for a true pleasure listening together with ya'll! Standouts for us has been the dreampop of Say Lou Lou, Sky Ferreira's debut album, the return of MKS, David Lynch working with Lykke Li, Blood Orange sending us into heaven and the return of both David Bowie and Annie. Well honestly, the whole list is a true statement of what we absolutely love with no particular ranking. We saw The Knife live front and center in May at their Copenhagen gig and have a memory for life. Sheer brilliance! The fact that M.I.A., Sky Ferreira and Annie shared links to this blog on Twitter is just nuts and amazing! Thank you so much! Last week we took part in the Digital Agenda for Music conference in Stockholm along with Robyn and representatives from the government, technology and music industry sectors. Eh, amazing! We cannot wait for what '14 has in store and continue to grow and bring you the most awesome beats around. Thank you and enjoy!
