One of my favorite tracks off the exceptional Rubber Souls album gets a fun, and fitting, video treatment. Be sure to let the track finish so you can hear the Shuggie Otis reference and flip at the end.
KEEP GOIN 6TH!
This new video from Milosh is one of the more enjoyable clips I’ve seen in recent memory. Yes, it’s a bit cheesy, but hell, I’m a bit cheesy and I appreciate this kind of stuff. For those not familiar, Milosh is a dope vocalist and you may have heard some of his stuff from the Rhye project he released with Robin Hannibal last year.
This video was created while Milosh and his wife traveled around the globe for the Rhye tour. I’ll let him expound:
This is a video that Alexa and myself put together that is essentially a collection of footage over this past year while we traveled the Rhye record around the world. We went to 40 separate places in a span of about 6 months and we got to see some beautiful places as a result. We tried to set aside time in between performances to see things, just take them in and enjoy ourselves. We chose to use this footage for this video as it fits the whole message, the point of the song perfectly. Enjoy the opportunities now while you have them, they are not always going to be there. Traveling is one of the most important, mind broadening things one can do, being able to do that together has been beyond a blessing.
While I don’t envy most aspects of the celebrity life, this would be one. Being able to travel the world and take in new sights/experience would be amazing, especially doing it all with your best friend.
Milosh’s new album, Jetlag, is out now.
Ye got jokes. Still my favorite song of the year though!
Kenna links up with Donald Glover for his new single and video, “Relations.” Funky.
The song that everyone knows now that Drake sampled it gets its own video, though there aren’t any shots of Sampha himself, other than playing the keys. Fantastic song though. Feel free to put this on loop. Forever.
Digging this one from an artist I’m starting to hear more and more buzz around. G4SHI is a Libyan born, Brooklyn resident, whose family is from Kosovo in Albania. Be on the lookout for more from him.
Jhene and Gambino’s “Bed Peace” video is essentially an homage to John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s classic photograph and their general “peace & love” mentality. Jhene’s vocals are nice and catchy, plus the overall message is one I definitely support and will try to remember with the ongoing battle between work and life. Good to hear a more serious Gambino verse too, which may or may not hold some factual connection to his recent friendship with Jhene, if you’re into that tabloid stuff.
Now if I can just convince the label to make a clean edit for the airwaves…
Some of that Young California for ya. Trackademicks on the beat.
First track I’ve really enjoyed from Drake’s OVO signing, PARTYNEXTDOOR. Definitely prefer when he rhymes in a more normal voice than that Future influenced warble, but I dig it. Visuals didn’t hurt either…
I assume this was filmed, at least in part, during John’s wedding to model (and surprisingly funny Twitter personality) Chrissy Teigen in Italy, since I think a few of these shots are of Lake Como (some footage at the end as well). Not to get all TMZ, but apparently John sang this to her during the wedding ceremony since it was a song he specifically wrote for her.
I’ve always thought that “Ordinary People” was a timeless, classic record that we would all look back on like some of the best work from Stevie, Marvin, etc. and while I don’t think this one is quite as strong, it’s a great ballad. I watched some of my co-workers literally cry after listening to it so I’d say it’s almost a universal favorite for the ladies.
Well played Mr. and Mrs. Stephens.
