A: NAO

Dear music lovers, listeners and readers. Today marks the seventh year of this daily vitamine dose. Thanks for the support, the likes, the comments and the shared believe that music makes the world go round.

SOHN - Conrad

A: SOHN
S: Conrad

British-born, Vienna-based artist SOHN is gearing up to drop his second album Rennen early next year. SOHN is one of those dance guys that adds rhythmic malleability to a reputedly mechanistic genre. If today’s offering Conrad is any indication, Rennen will go even further down that groovy, fluid path.

... we can never go back.

Leonard Cohen - Dance Me To The End of Love

A: Leonard Cohen
S: Dance Me To The End of Love

For somebody who usually claims he hasn't got a heart, the universe sure as hell made it break twice this year. If you thought, like me, 2016 couldn't get any darker, yesterday was as black as a night can get.

... dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in.

The xx - On Hold

A: The xx
S: On Hold

Any other day, On Hold would just have been a bittersweet song about coming into romantic maturity, as the star-crossed lovers of The xx’s debut found that destiny is so often just delusion. But this godforsaken week of all weeks, their regret over youthful complacency hits that much harder.

... you're too soon to call us old.

Anohni - Hopelessness

A: Anohni
S: Hopelessness

Filmed by Alex Carver Anohni's latest video shows medieval barbarism and fascistic architecture haunting the fever dream of an anonymous woman. Within the dream, distant past and distant futures are irrationally fused in a bizarre, iconic vision of martyrdom.

... now we blew it all away.

R.E.M. - It's The End Of The World

A: R.E.M.
S: It's The End Of The World

Good night and good luck.

... that's me in the corner.

Madonna - Express Yourself, Don't Tell Me, Imagine, Like A Prayer

A: Madonna
S: Express Yourself, Don't Tell Me, Imagine, Like A Prayer

Support your global popstar! And your favourite candidate for president, hopefully, to put it in Madge's words: somebody who does not discrimante against women, the lgbtq community, or people of colour. Here's to fighting with love - and music.

... don't go for second best, baby.
