Music Monday – Volume Fifty Eight

1) Lianne La Havas – Unstoppable

Luscious piece of R&B/Soul with silky smooth vocals. Co-written by Paul Epworth, frequent collaborator with the likes of Adele & Duffy, this soul infused track is oozing with class and perfection.

2) Lianne La Havas – What You Don’t Do

Lianne La Havas is my discovery of the week and I cannot get enough of these two tracks. Her jazz-styled vocals are full of passion and soul and I love the big-band and soul infusion that underpins this catchy track.

3) Miguel – Coffee

Sexy, sultry and sleek. Miguel’s smooth vocals smother stuttering synthesisers and heavy percussion, resulting in a powerful piece of R&B perfection. Awesome lyrics to this too. Cannot get enough of this right now.

4) Miguel – What is Normal anyway?

Effortlessly smooth, with pensive lyrics and tinny guitar sounds. Miguel at his best.

5) Night Drive – Drones

Awesome electro-pop track which clearly uses elements of 1980’s electro and rock music as an influence. Catchy as hell.

6) Royworld – Dust

Irresistibly catchy pop-rock driven song with an awesome hook.

7) Teitur – One and Only

Gentle acoustic track which draws upon folk influences. Beautiful.

8) Jesse Boykins III – Plain

Awesome dance track with slightly off-pitch synthesisers, a throbbing beat, soulful vocals and gorgeous harmonies. SO good.

9) Sam Feldt ft Kimberly Anne – Show Me Love

Based upon Robin S’ massive nineties dance track of the same name, Sam Feldt gives it the 21st Century treatment and makes it more electro than dance. It’s a pleasant update of the original.

10) Shura – White Light

LOVE Shura. This is SO 80’s; imagine a hybrid of Janet Jackson & Madonna and you reach Shura. Fierce tinny drums, aggressive bass lines and funky guitar riffs, it’s catchy as hell.
