Smoove & Turrell – Higher
John Turrell’s voice has a deep blues quality reminiscent of Bobby Blue Bland, but with a smooth soul style and the backing of a high energy soul band.
The Bamboos – I Never (Featuring Daniel Merriweather)
I almost never post the same artist twice in a row. HAHAH. Get it?! Killer joke. Moving on, I love Daniel’s voice.
The Bamboos – You Ain’t No Good
The fast-paced soul rhythm of this song is a great way to follow Imelda May, but I was pretty sure I had posted it before. When I searched the blog’s history i realized I hadn’t posts this one, but I had posted two others with some version of “you’re no good” in the title. So, […]
Penny & The Quarters – You and Me
Watched Blue Valentine last night. This beautiful song is featured twice. And like any great song in a great movie, the song takes on extra meaning after having see the movie. See what I mean here.
Sampha – Too Much
Not the best transition from yesterday’s song, but it’s tough to beat Sampha’s swooning voice on a Sunday.
Flume & Chet Faker – Drop The Game

Blood Orange – You’re Not Good Enough
The hooks that Blood Orange comes up with are out of this world. I fell in love with this song instantly when I heard it today. Modern disco soul funk with a creative edge that I’ve never heard before.
Schlomo – Places
Some days you just want a little escape. That’s what this song sounds like. R&B and soul driven escape.
The Hood Internet – Over Your Head (B.o.B. & 2 Chainz x Chromeo)
https://soundcloud.com/hoodinternet/bob-2-chainz-chromeo Posting yesterday’s song was an easy choice. Everything Chance touches is gold to me. Same goes for Chromeo. Gold.
Kanye West – Out The Game
I don’t like a lot of Kanye’s music. I really don’t like Yeezus. I see his creative talent, but his ego gets in the way of the music’s listenability, or worse, tries to replace it. This song, on the other hand, captures his undeniably impressive production and rapping ability without any of the pretense. The […]
