day n nite

i haven't ever discussed little boots on this blog, but her music style is absolutely pleasing. her voice, her music, her production. she's relatively small, but she is making moves in the music industry.

check out this cover she does of kid cudi's day n nite.



and a note from the enchanting little boots:
you're probs thinking i'm pretty late on this one but i've actually been DJing it out since some time last year and i still love it even though its kind of blown up now... you know a tune's big when you hear girls singing it in the loo in your local in blackpool on xmas eve... anyway playing it like this actually made me listen to the words for the first time and its actually pretty good, really get the feeling of this guy being tortured and not being able to sleep... god i know that feeling... anyway here u go.... not quite as banging as the crookers maybe i need to put more of a donk on it.... SORRY MY PHONE WENT OFF AT THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ridiculous i know, if there were more hours in the day i would record it again but there aren't...... please forgive me

prom queen

lil wayne is back in full force now, with his new upcoming album, the rebirth.

check out the video trailer for his first single and video.

imogen heap

in case you haven't seen this video (but i truly hope you've seen it) i'm throwing it back and putting this video up of imogen heap performing just for now live for indie 103 a while back.

it shows the true dynamic some artists have, as she's using simple pieces of equipment, an amazing voice and nothing else to create an eclectic and beautiful acapella version of the track.

4-3-2-1

k-os, who's fourth album comes out in march, has released his first single and video off the album. "4 3 2 1" is a pretty cool track, and the video is pretty fresh. at times, it feels like the video is too much for the song, or the song is too much for the video, but still a fun watch.

k'naan live

k'naan on jimmy kimmel last night.

kicked pushed

saw k'naan last night in hollywood, and it led me to look up more stuff on him and about him. real soulful dude. check this video out he did using lupe's "kick push."

but before you watch it, here's why he did it:

Kicked Pushed: Some of you may have heard or read about what happened in Sweden's Gothenburg. Where after the performance a bouncer wouldn't allow me to go backstage to collect my things, though I had my pass in hand. The story is deep, and Sol Guy (my friend and manager) ended up going to jail for the night in Sweden. And me and the band spent the night at the station waitin for him. While it was us who were disrespected and actually physically assaulted, it was also us who were betrayed, processed and reminded of the diseases in the human heart. Fortunately, we were traveling with a camera and so we have some of those people and some of the situation on camera.

Those of you who know my music know that I've never really written for leisure. And that my experiences have always been at the forefront of my music. And you must agree, rarely is life uneventful. But this one called for special presentation. So I wrote a song, using Lupe Fiasco's Kick Push instrumental. Documenting the experience we had in Sweden, I call this song... KickED PushED. We also put together a video for the song, using the ACTUAL footage from the scenario. Nothing is re created, or re enacted, everything that you see is REAL.

Enjoy it (it's hard to say that about this one)

Peace, K'naan.

lykke li - she can kick it

so if you haven't heard anything by lykke li yet, you are way behind. girl has an entrancing voice, and she is making a lot of headway in the music industry. but she's indie. way indie.

so being a hip-hop junkie, seeing her to a cover on a tribe called quest's "can i kick it" is refreshing on so many levels.

home video

these dudes from brooklyn (originally from new orleans) are pretty ill. colin ruffino and david gross are the duo that make up home video.

from the enchanting beats they have and not to mention colin's amazing voice, their EP is very much worth a full listen.

here's their first video for "i can make you feel it." way artsy, and very well done.
