Premiere: Stevie Nicks - The Dealer

The amazing Stevie Nicks drops her new album 24 Karat Gold - Songs From The Vault on October 6th and it'll contain brand new recordings of mythical songs from her 1969 to 1987 catalogue. Lead single The Dealer never made it past the demo stage for her 1981 solo debut album Bella Donna. Back then it went under the name "The Dealer (aka Mistress of My Fate)" and ended up scrapped entirely. Various demos has surfaced during the years since then and has become a true fan favourite. Listen to 'em here! This new version sounds a lil' country, ya'll, and not at all like the demo version using a drum machine for instance. It still sounds brooding but perhaps a bit more friendly and less urgent. We can however see this being a live favourite if she plays it during the Fleetwood Mac tour later this year. Listen below! Thoughts?

Fleetwood Mac - Dreams (Gigamesh Edit)

Gigamesh gently remixes Fleetwood Mac's iconic 1977 track Dreams and the result is impossible to not have on repeat. Stevie Nicks voice and its expression is unparalleled and one of our all time favourites. She sounds good no matter the backing track and this new beat only makes us wanna dance even more. Thinking the original came out 35 years ago and the Rumours album has sold 40 million copies it still sounds as fresh as ever. Lovely!

Lykke Li - Silver Springs (Fleetwood Mac Cover) - Premiere

We honestly can't think of a better pairing this summer than Lykke Li and Fleetwood Mac. Listen to this on a gorgeous summer day with windows open and the sun shining in! Silver Springs was originally recorded for the classic Fleetwood 1976 album Rumours - which has sold in 40 million copies. It was however never included until 2004's re-issue! Lykke takes this radio friendly track and throws some black glitter dust on top - creating a new layer of depth so the lyrics really sparkle of sadness. The instrumentation is sparse and production reminds us of an old 1950's jukebox. Amazing. We love both Lykke Li's and Stevie Nicks' voices so what an amazing treat to have both to play back to back! Since this new version is part of the Fleetwood Mac tribute album Just Tell Me That You Want Me can we hope for a duet in the future! How awesome would that be?! Other artists on this album will be Marianne Faithfull, Karen Elson and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy so looking forward! It'll be out August 14th so ya know! Enjoy! 

Time casts a spell on you, but you won't forget me,
I know I could have loved you, but you would not let me...
