Hanna & Kerttu - Russian Ghost

A: Hanna & Kerttu
S: Russian Ghost
C: Forest Pop

Here is me supporting my local dealer - of sweet little dreams in the shape of perfectly produced and magically mystical songs. Don't be fooled by the albums titel, Forest Pop has nothing to do with popmusic, for Hanna & Kerttu not only create a world of their own, but a whole new music genre.

... but deep at night you hide under beds.

Chad Valley - True

A: Chad Valley
S: True
C: True - Single

There's a light at the end of the tunnel and a new album to be released. Chad Valley is about to drop Entirely New Blue. The record is a return to the places that comfort us, especially when we return to them a different person.

... a second chance is just in sight.

Tina Turner - Break Through The Barrier

A: Tina Turner
S: Break Through The Barrier
C: Days Of Thunder - Soundtrack

Tina! Tom! Nicole! Did I mention I'm still looking for an one way ticket back to 1989? I guess there really are some things that money can't buy. Everything else can be purchased online, on vinyl, for a buck or two.

... look for empty roads to travel.

Janet Jackson Feat. J. Cole - No Sleeep

A: Janet Jackson Feat. J. Cole
S: No Sleeep
C: No Sleeep - Single

This year in music has been officially saved. Miss Rhythm Nation just dropped her glorious new single upon us, staying true to her roots, unlike many other female artists who have been around for the past 30 decades - hint hint.

... show me how much you were missing me.

Air - How Does It Make You Feel

A: Air
S: How Does It Make You Feel
C: Everybody Hertz

They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. But this is a music and not a food blog so I have to disagree strongly. The way to a man's heart is through his ears. That's right, who needs calories when you have songs.

... let's have an extended play together.

Twin Shadow - I'm Ready

A: Twin Shadow
S: I'm Ready
C: Eclipse

Whilst this might not be his bestest track, it is still a Twin Shadow song which is all a song needs to be not only decent, but great. If you are a sucker for big blown-up 80s pop songs like me, Twin Shadow is your reason why this world isn't lost yet.

... don't say it's the end of me.

Sylvester - Do You Wanna Funk

A: Sylvester
S: Do You Wanna Funk
C: Do You Wanna Funk - Single

Welcome to this week's disco flair extraordinaire. I found this hit last Sunday in a forest near Berlin. Techno and disco is a perfect couple, I've have been contemplating this thought for some time now and I am as sure as can be. Anyway. Great, great tune!

... I lay my good lovin' on you.

NERVO​ Feat. Kylie Minogue​ Jake Shears & Nile Rodgers​ - The Other Boys

A: NERVO​ Feat. Kylie Minogue​ Jake Shears & Nile Rodgers​
S: The Other Boys
C: The Other Boys - Single

There's one thing I forgot to mention about summer hits yesterday: they appear out of nothing. This tropical tune took the internet by storm yesterday and sure has the potential to grow more than your instant morning wood.

... why don't you love me like the other boys do?

Selena Gomez Feat. A$AP Rocky - Good For You

A: Selena Gomez Feat. A$AP Rocky
S: Good For You
C: Good For You - Single

Let me explain the logic of a summer hit to you: there is none, whatsoever. I might even stress this a bit more and say it work against any logic. You can blame it on the heat, or you can stop questioning your taste and just enjoy it, and everything that comes along with it.

... and syncopate my skin to your heart beating.

Kylie - Melt! Festival - 99 Red Balloons

A: Kylie
S: 99 Red Balloons
C: Melt! Festival

So here's what happened over the weekend. It is only Wednesday so still plenty of time to date you up on what happened. Kylie performed at Melt! Festival and won Germany in little less than four minutes. Here's how she did it.

... there's something here from somewhere else.

Say Yes Dog - Stronger

A: Say Yes Dog
S: Stronger
C: Plastic Love

Founded in 2011 by two Germans and one Luxembourger, the Berlin based trio merges danceable synthesizer melodies with great beats. Stronger is a great slice of cool and breezy elctro-pop, it seems to be born to sondtrack a long warm summer night.

... I had my first time with you, and you took it all.

Delorean - Crystal

A: Delorean
S: Crystal
C: Crystal - Single

As far as Youtube comments go, the verdict is in: The song kinda sucks but the visuals were really cool! As always I like to take a different opinion than the one of the vast majority. So let me make this crystal clear, I prefer the song to the video, a thousand time and more.

... you don't want me, to leave.

The Paper Kites - Electric Indigo

A: The Paper Kites
S: Electric Indigo
C: twelvefour

When it comes to comparing bands and beverages, a very common thing to do amongst alcoholic wanna be music critics, The Paper Kites are definitely a licious red wine that gets better with every record they release. And they both taste better after sundown.

... time is just a remedy covered in disguise.

Frankie Lee - Where Do We Belong

A: Frankie Lee
S: Where Do We Belong
C: Where Do We Belong - Single

After inheriting records and instruments from his father’s collection, Frankie was - as he sees it - "taught to play guitar by a ghost”. By the sound of this single, not the baddest idea when you plan a career in music. Maybe moving to Austin or Nashville helps, too.

... people don't change.

Zebra Katz Feat. Leila - Blk Diamond

A: Zebra Katz Feat. Leila
S: Blk Diamond
C: Blk Diamond - Single

Sometimes a morning can go from a perfect stracciatella yoghurt moment to total annoyance in less than two hours. Anyway, brace yourselves for the second chapter in the Katz x Leila collaboration, heating this already hot Friday up some more.

... I'm high in protein, and I'm so delicious.

Enigma - Sleep With Me Tonight

A: Enigma
S: Sleep With Me Tonight
C: Sleep With Me Tonight - Single

Remember when I posted Matthew Dear because he sings 'I put a smell on you'? Even if you don't, because we all have more interesting things to do, let me point out that 'deep with me tonight' is up there in the same range of great lyrics.

... deep with me tonight.

Lana Del Rey​ - Honeymoon

A: Lana Del Rey​
S: Honeymoon
C: Honeymoon (out soon)

Here's the countdown. Four weeks to go until Lana releases her third studio album, Honeymoon. This first single, taken from said album, will get your juices flowing with anticipation and in all the right directions. After all, we both know that ...

... it's not fashionable to love me.

Júníus Meyvant - Color Decay

A: Júníus Meyvant
S: Color Decay
C:

Júníus Meyvant is the artist name of Vestmann Islands (I googled that for you, it's in Island) born singer-songwriter Unnar Gísli Sigurmundsson. His sound is a rich and afflicted take on freaky folk pop with a familiar and soulful feel, like a thick wool blanket with a hot cup of cocoa 

... time ain't either here to stay.

Gloria - Wie sehr wir leuchten

A: Gloria
S: Wie sehr wir leuchten
C: Wie sehr wir leuchten - Single

Everything it full of Klaas! Here's one for the Germans. So let me present to you Klaas' band Gloria, for which he teamed up with former Wir Sind Helden guitarist Mark Tavassol. The duo's strength are unpretentious songs, and I mean that in the nicest possible way.

... ich komm dir näher, Stück für Stück.

The Chemical Brothers Feat. Q-Tip - Go

A: The Chemical Brothers Feat. Q-Tip
S: Go
C: Born in the Echoes

Guess who back with their first album in five years, called Born in the Echoes, out July 17? You guessed right. Guests on the album include St. Vincent, Beck, Q-Tip, Cate Le Bon, and Ali Love. Here's the first hot hit off said record, but don't you worry. More will follow.

... we're only here to make you go.

Patrick Juvet - Swiss Kiss

A: Patrick Juvet
S: Swiss Kiss

Hello lovers of luscious lips. I don't know what is more bewildering, the fact that swiss lips seem to be a thing - or were a thing, or that a disco song has the word Swiss in its title. But hey, just because it is wrong doesn't mean it can't be fun.

... doing things that are happy and gay.

Demi Lovato - Cool For The Summer

Demi Lovato - Cool for the Summer (Official... von InternationalMusicT1

A: Demi Lovato
S: Cool For The Summer
C: Cool For The Summer - Single

Summer cooled down so I figure it is halfway legit to post this pop song. It's quite a decent pop song until the chorus starts and it falls apart. But what good are Fridays if not to indulge in your guilty pleasure as a reward for conquering the week?

... my mind on your body and your body on my mind.

Azekel - New Romance

A: Azekel
S: New Romance
C: Raw, Vol. 1

Get ready to funk this Thursday up in style. Here to help you do that is Azekel from swinging London town. New Romance might be two years old, but it has lost nothing of it's glamorous glory and that touch of je ne sais quoi.

... with you or no one else.

BOY - We Were Here

A: BOY
S: We Were Here
C: We Were Here

Yay! Guess who's here! BOY and the first single of their forthcoming sophomore album We Were Here. Yes, I know it is exciting and yes, you still have to wait for the record release on August 21st. So make sure you enjoy the shit out of this beaut.

... we walked these streets like kings.

Eagles Of Death Metal - Only Want You

A: Eagles Of Death Metal
S: Only Want You
C: Peace Love Death Metal

Good morning lovers of loud guitars. Here's your musical shot of something strong to kickstart the day. It recently came to my attention that there are people who do not like guitars altogether, but I'm sure that's just a disfunction of the brain.

... I never really leave, I just slip away.

Jeff Buckley - Everybody Here Wants You

Jeff Buckley - Everybody Here Wants You von hern

A: Jeff Buckley
S: Everybody Here Wants You

Who would have thought the world's most famous Halleluja singer would and or could venture this deep into the rnb - nu soul direction. I certainly didn't and the main reason why I'm posting it is diversity, not unconditional love.

... I'm only here for this moment.

Nicoletta - Il est mort le soleil

A: Nicoletta
S: Il est mort le soleil

Sometimes you need a couple of French songs to make it through the hottest day of the year. And we did! Here's a song comparing the end of a relationship and the death of the sun. Quite fitting, actually.

... il faisait beau même en hiver.

Kendrick Lamar - Alright

A: Kendrick Lamar
S: Alright
C: To Pimp A Butterfly

Happy 4th of July, y'all. And whilst you're happy popping those corks and tossing those beers, make sure you celebrate the greatest music vid of the year too. Ladies and gentleman, today I give you Kendrick Lamar.

... but if God got us, we gon' be alright.

IS TROPICAL - Say

A: IS TROPICAL
S: Say
C: Black Anything

Let's welcome this weekend's heatwave with a song, band and video that matches the idea of tropical extremes. Signed to French indie label Kitsune, Is Tropical offers everything you need to make it through that heat.

... I've got no place else to be.

Many Things - Burn Together

A: Many Things
S: Burn Together
C: Burn Together

Many Things have been stirring up a groundswell of hype ever since their London genesis. NME wasn't too wrong when they said this is 'the sort of thing you wish The Strokes still wrote'. But they don't, so move over Strokes and NME and clear the stage for a new chapter.

... I might start a fire.

Tribe Society - Kings

Tribe Society - Kings (Animated Version) von musictrending

A: Tribe Society
S: Kings
C: Kings - Single

Here to bring you some sour in a world of sweet is Tribe Society, an alternative and about to break big five-piece from Washington Heights, New York. Discover them on spotify, and for the first time ever on apple music, maybe.

... I'll take my throne, lay it on a mountain, make myself a king.
