Premiere: Blondie - Long Time

Words cannot truly express the happiness we feel to hear how fantastic and dynamic Blondie as a band is sounding right now! Their Pollinator album era is shaping up to be bloody gorgeous! The album drops May 5th and Long Time is out n o w and what a track! Co-written by fabulous Dev Hynes and harks back to their disco days, namely Heart Of Glass, but still has its gaze fixed on the road ahead. It's fun, tight and sounds like a true band playing together with all the energy that brings. Debbie Harry's voice, iconic as it is, soars over all that goodness and infuses with her wondrous talent. LOVE!  

Video Premiere: Blood Orange - Sandra's Smile

We looove Blood Orange and so happy to have new material from him! It's a sad moment too as Sandra's Smile, a fantastic new song, remembers Sandra Bland and references Trayvon Martin's mother Sybrina Fulton that she's not ready to forgive her son's killer. It's hard to fathom how these events are even occuring in real life - but they are. This paired with a sick Dev Hynes beat, complete with a stunning saxophone plus amazing moves - it's all a bit too much. It's powerful and a grim look into tragedies that in no way are justified. Welcome back Dev - we've missed you! 

Video Premiere: Tinashe - Bet

Yeeeeah! Our favourite Tinashe song, Bet, finally has some visuals to it! And it's closing out her Aquarius album era - we were worried it'd be passed over despite being absolute fire. It's also the only track on her debut to have been worked on with Dev Hynes and produced by Blood Diamonds. They are a trio made of diamonds so let's hope for MORE of 'em together for next era! The video is a lo-fi affair with some majah dancing that reminds of Janet's The Pleasure Principle video. PLUS we're getting Feels Like Vegas as a bonus. Nice! Tinashe is so on point and free spirited that we only can wish her more, more, more of everything for whatever she decides to do next. Love her!  

Premiere: Mutya Keisha Siobhan - Back In The Day

 

We were and still are absolutely wild about Mutya Keisha Siobhan's Blood Orange produced Flatline single, that so spectacularly, ahem, flatlined despite being magically good! Since then there's been little news and fans heading into deep despair. But finally some light in the Sugababes 1.0 tunnel! Back In The Day dropped this am and is a really awesome slow burner with those patented stellar harmonies. That beat, which could be a new Orange production, sounds really sweet like a 90's jam only could. It wouldn't be out of place on say a Janet Jackson album like Velvet Rope. That would of course mean top marks for MKS! Listen below! Thoughts?

Premiere: Jessie Ware - Want Your Feeling

Jessie Ware continues her gleaming stream of mellow awesomeness with brand new Want Your Feeling. The juxtaposition of the happy tone of the music and then the desperate lyrics. The verses flow like sadness and when the chorus kicks in a high of some sort kicks in. But we have a feeling Jessie's feeling isn't all that good. It's intriguing to listen to for sure. Produced by James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco the production is tight yet breathes easily. We officially cannot wait for the Tough Love album to drop next month! Bring it on! Update: Holy moly! It's co-written by Dev Hynes a.k.a. Blood Orange! Argh, so much talent on one track! Love it!
