Yuksek + Oh Land - “Last of Our Kinds” - Music Video

Remember Oh Land? Well, she has an official solo single out this week, too, but this here track is much better.

It’s a well done pop record with a proper BIG chorus reminiscent of something like “Dog Days Are Over.”

Watch the trippy video above, and grab a free download of the amazing Kasper Bjorke remix here.

Mykki is probably the most interesting person in the “rap game” right now.

This is well worth a listen.

The-Dream- IV Play - Album Stream

You can now stream the much delayed (like everything else released this year) album from the most underrated artist in the genre via his Vevo account.

It may not be his best by any stretch, but it’s still quite solid - with a few real winners (the title track, “Equestrian,” “Too Early,” “Slow It Down”) and several other moments to keep you entertained.

Little Boots - Nocturnes - Notes On An Album

*Click the album art to stream, plz.*

I’ve been waiting for this moment the whole day.

It’s no secret that The Defense is a fan of Victoria, and I’m proud to report her long awaited second LP is a true treasure, if you want it to be.

This is not in-your-face BIG pop, but it why should it be? Instead we’re treated to a thorough + consistently very good-excellent collection of songs. Nevermind the fact that she’s released over a third of this album sporadically since November 2011 - this album feels genuine, and most importantly - it’s amazing.

I would list particular highlights, but it’s 10 tracks long. They’re all worth your time ~~(fine, I’m currently obsessed with “Confusion” and “Crescendo” if you must know).~~

PRINCE l LOVESEXY l 25TH ANNI

A belated happy birthday to a beloved album.

Also, apols on the hiatus. Back tomorrow.

Talk 2 me lover, come and tell me what U taste
Didn’t your mama tell U life is 2 good 2 waste?
Did she tell U Lovesexy was the glam of them all?
U can hang, U can trip on it, U surely won’t fall
No side effects, the feeling last 4ever
Straight up, it tastes good, it makes U feel clever
U kiss your enemies like U know U should
And then U jerk your body like a horny pony would
U jerk your body like a horny pony would
Now run and tell your mama about that!

And while U’re at it, tell your pop about this!
