Moment

If you've been following this blog and see this post you're probably asking yourself where the hell this is coming from. Well, yes, I (highly) enjoy rap. And yes, I know, the last solo stuff Lil Wayne released was pretty questionable... but this song goes back to classic Weezy (who do I think I am?? JK I know all the words to This is the Carter). Not gonna lie I wasn't expecting him to release something that goes back to his old style so much after his rap + rock experimental stint. Let's just say I've listened to this song an embarrassing amount of times since I saw it came out. This leaves me anticipating for more clever ass rhymes from one of the game's greatest.

Faded

The previously anonymous DJ phenom who brought us Superfriends is back-- this time with a name. The newly unveiled ZHU released another track yesterday, once again using super slowed down and repetitive vocals with the catchiest backbeat. Faded rhythmically chugs down the track of the slow train and the mesmerization factor is thoroughly consistent with his (or her?) other songs. Moreover, as the title suggests this song fades brilliantly in and out of dark and light vibes. I'm excited to hear what else ZHU has coming!

ZHU - Faded

P.S. - I never posted this, but here is ZHU's first track--a clever medley of some of Outkast's most renowned lyrics.. you won't want to miss it.

Lost and Found Remixed

I'm going to follow up on that entire post I dedicated to Odesza, because frankly, they keep bringing it. They previously remixed Pretty Light's One Day They'll Know and just released a remix of their song Lost and Found, which is apparently on the soundtrack for the movie Divergent. This one does not disappoint in the slightest. I love how they slow down around the vocals and build things back up with the exaggerated string instrumentals. Check it out here:

SOS In Bel Air Remixed

Speaking of Bel Air (Re: Clueless), Phoenix's tune SOS In Bel Air has been given a bit of a psychedelic makeover thanks to Ariel Pink in this dreamy remix. I feel like this is the perfect soundtrack to looking through a kaleidoscope... it's kind of like a more legit Instagram filter over a song. Check it:

Fancy

Excuse the long hiatus in posting, I was busy belligerently catching plastic beads in New Orleans and have been recovering ever since. Anyways, if you haven't already heard Iggy Azalea's Fancy featuring Charli XCX, she just released the accompanying video, which is fabulous and highly reminiscent of the classic 90's girl movie we all know and love, Clueless. The vibes of the movie perfectly match the modern take on being, ahem, fancy AF. Roll with the homies to this catchy beat:

Iggy Azalea - Fancy feat. Charli XCX

"So, okay, I don't want to be a traitor to my generation and all but I don't get how guys dress today. I mean, come on, it looks like they just fell out of bed and put on some baggy pants and take their greasy hair (eww!) and cover it up with a backwards cap and like we're expected to swoon? I don't think so."

Thanks, Cher, for reminding me that things are pretty much the same today... That was way harsh.
