Premiere: Samantha Urbani - 1 2 3 4

We've been crushing majorly on Samantha Urbani's immense talent and awesome voice since he work on boyfriend Dev Hynes' (Blood Orange) incredible 2013 album Cupid Deluxe. Now he gets to repay the favour by playing piano on 1 2 3 4. This masterpiece serves as Samantha's solo debut - she was part of the band Friends b4. Written by herself and then co-produced with Sam Mehren of dance punk band Test Icicle it's a hot piece of ass music. It's tight and the feelin' when hearing this is that we're livin' in a 1980 NYC and it drives us mad. It's a crazy good combination of flawless vocals and a production that both comes across as meticulous and carefree. That takes some serious skillz right there! Fun fact: Parts of the track were recorded on the MetroNorth train from New Haven to Grand Central. ENJOY! We dare you not to like it! 

Free Download: Blood Orange & Samantha Urbani - You're Not Good Enough (Holy Ghost! Bootleg Remix)

Blood Orange's fantastic album Cupid Deluxe has been on repeat over here the last few months. Devonté Hynes produced a magical collection for himself and we're ecstatic to get introduced to his girlfriend Samantha Urbani and her insane talent. Thank goodness they weren't hurt in the fire that destoyed their home last month and sadly killed their puppy Cupid. Crazy! :( You're Not Good Enough is one of the standout's for sure. That guitar strut and serene vocals about such a hard topic is mezmerizing us. NYC crew Holy Ghost! lends a real awesome disco beat to all the heartache and we're melting just listening. Something about that hard beat and heavenly vox! We're gonna cry and dance all at once to this one we can tell. Enjoy the download here! 

Premiere: Blood Orange & Samantha Urbani - You're Not Good Enough

Real life couple Dev Hynes a.k.a Blood Orange and Samantha Urbani just released a scorcher of a song! You're Not Good Enough ain't exactly a lovey dovey song, haha. In fact, quite the opposite! Over Dev's gorgeous guitar strut they're singing very gently about never being in love and the other part never being good enough. Wow! Talk about the heartbreak one would feel if ever hearing that. We hear traces of Dev's stunning production on Solange's Losing You and that, dear friends, can never ever be a bad thing. In the mix is also a Prince vibe that's driving us wild and makes us wanna rip our clothes off from excitement. So yeah, top marks because of perfection. It'll be added on our Best of '13 later this year for sure. Enjoy! The third Blood Orange album Cupid Deluxe is out on November 18th.
