Amber Mark - Love Me Right

A: Amber Mark
S: Love Me Right

As an instrument, Amber Mark’s voice seems to have near unlimited range. And on her single Love Me Right, from the New York singer’s EP Conexão, it begins light and sweet, then dips low into a deep and sassy strut as Marks grows more frustrated with her lover boy. Amber is quite the revelation, righting every wrong with today's music, especially in pop. Reconcile below.

... I give you the keys and while you gladly take 'em, you don't use 'em.

Sunni Colón - Baby I Don't Mind

A: Sunni Colón
S: Baby I Don't Mind

Fresh from his Parisian sabbatical, Sunni Colón returned last year with a laid-back single entitled Baby I Don’t Mind. The Los Angeles native serves smooth and relaxed vocals as he sings a tale of understanding and acceptance in love over a soulful track laden with a groovy bass line. His tone is soft and sultry as he lovingly sings to his lady. She may have her moments when she's not at her or treating him the best, but Sunni isn't going anywhere; he's there to stay.

... there can only be the two of us, only you.

The Big Moon - Your Light

A: The Big Moon
S: Your Light

The Big Moon announced their second album Walking Like We Do and release their newest single Your Light. After the success of their debut album, Love in the 4th Dimension, The Big Moon finally announce their next record, out 10th January. At the same time, the band dropped a second track from the album to follow the dreamy It’s Easy Then. Named Your Light, this single encapsulates everything that is amazing about this band.

... this planet never needed gravity to drag you down.

Kings Of Convenience - I'd Rather Dance With You

A: Kings Of Convenience
S: I'd Rather Dance With You

10 years old yet this song still says as much as it did in 2009 when it valued physical communication over verbal. Simply gorgeous and gorgeously simple, there aren't that many lyrics and lyricists that can talk this eloquently about not talking. Silence is bliss.

...  I'd rather dance than talk with you.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Ghosteen

A: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
S: Ghosteen

When Nick Cave’s 15-year-old son, Arthur, died in July 2015, the Bad Seeds frontman said the idea of grieving in the public eye seemed impossible. Following the traumatised chaos of 2016’s Skeleton Tree, Ghosteen is a warm cloud of ambient solace - a sonic evocation of the communion he has experienced through his newly porous relationship with his audience. He sounds buoyed, not weakened, by exposing his wounds. 

... if I could move the night I would.

The Beatles - Come Together

A: The Beatles
S: Come Together

Happy 50th Birthday, dear Abbey Road record, the eleventh, final and some say best Beatle record of them all. Just like Nobody Else was Take That's final and best yet only third record. I guess some boy band rules never change. Anyway, nostalgia below.


... he just do what he please.

Manchester Orchestra - The Silence

A: Manchester Orchestra
S: The Silence

Manchester Orchestra, hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, burst onto the indie music scene in 2009 with their second album, Mean Everything to Nothing. Their first effort, I’m Like a Virgin Losing a Child, remains a cult classic in its own right, but it was this sophomore release that showcased Hull’s vocals, the well-written lyrics, and the artistic capacity from every member in the band. Find their 2017 hit below.

... you can go anywhere but you are where you came from.
