Another Day In Paradise

Music that actually makes you feel good is pretty exceptional and when they bring forth happiness makes it all the better. Such is the case with "Another Day In Paradise" by Quinn XCII thanks to an ideal combination of chill lyrics, an awesome beat, and overall good vibes.

Best words:
"75 degrees and a dope sound, all you need to live fine"
"And I be runnin' 'cuz I figured out the more I slow down the less I get out"

***Bonus track: This more recent track by Quinn XCII just brings me back to saying how relatable his lyrics are. Dope instrumentals as well.

Be Right There

This is a few months old, but I don't really care because I'm still totally into it. As we know, Diplo tends to straight up slay and this track is no exception. He's integrated house sounds of today with some super 90's synths (I'm reminded of "Be My Lover" by La Bouche, a classic of course) and killer vocals. Take 4 minutes of your day to dance to this contagious beat!!!!

Stay (ft. Maty Noyes)

Ugh, Kygo just keeps killing it in every good way possible. Honestly, I don't see how someone could not like him or his tunes. He stays true to his work and it continues to be incredibly eloquently produced. Also, the fact that he's incredibly good looking doesn't really hurt either. His latest, "Stay," has some great vocals by Maty Noyes and I always enjoy seeing the track preview by piano via his Instagram (see below). Enjoy and let the good vibes roll.

Berlin Blues

Whoa. I love finding artists like this vibrant South African, Alice Phoebe Lou, who just reflects sheer and raw talent. The intonations in her vocals are strangely reminiscent to Regina Spektor (who, of course, I absolutely adore). On the other hand, the acoustics and rhythm pick up are a bit more fun and rugged. Huge fan!

Crystalised (Edu Imbernon remix)

Some songs will forever reek of nostalgia, and for me "Crystalised" takes me back to my first car, driving (probably a bit recklessly) with the windows down and sunroof open, spring's cool air in my face and the wind in my hair. Even though this remix is pretty old, some slip through the cracks, and I'm grateful to be discovering it now because it's pretty swell and brings up some GoOd TyMeZ. Ya know.
