 Little Dragon  - Twice Twice I turn my back on you I fell flat on my face but didn't loose Tell me where would I go Tell me what led you on I’d love to know Was it the blue night Gone fragile Was it both men In wonder steady gone under Was it the light ways So frightening Was it two wills One mirror holding us dearer now Thought I had an answer once But your random ways swept me along Colossal signs so I got lost With so many lovers singing soft Was it the blue night Gone fragile Was it both men In wonder steady gone under Was it the light ways So frightening Was it two wills One mirror holding us dea...

Chester French has always been one of my favorite groups and I'm super stoked that they're releasing music after almost a four year hiatus.  Their new single Black Girls is such a catchy tune and I admire their ode to the beautiful black woman of the world (woop woop).  The lyrics are honest and bold but the matter in question is the video.  The lyrics go a little something like this: This ain't no fetish, ain't objectifying no one I reject your deconstruction of my taste But ignoramus always look in my direction They're so frustrated I don't keep it in the race  Like they've never seen this before  Like it's 1954  But the whol...

Gang Colours is the musical alias of Southampton's Will Ozanne and I've grown quite attached to his sound. All it took was one listen of Fancy Restaurant and the rest was history.  If you had to describe it I guess his sound would be James Blake meets Gold Panda, but with a little more soul. x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x ...

Women tend to be the silent voices in this male dominated music industry so girl bands/groups and female fronted bands always excite me.  It's like yeaaa we rock and we're proud and I just love that. So, I'd like to share with you some of my favorite female bands as well as my favorite female fronted bands of the moment.  These women are the definition of fierce. Oww owww! Who are your favorite female fronted or all-female bands? x x x x x x x x x x x x x x Dum Dum Girls from San Pedro, California - Listen Up!: Coming Down - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Noisettes from London, United Kin...

Have you ever had a song just speak to you? Like really speak to you to the point where you want to burst out and start crying? I guess you can say I'm a little mellow dramatic but hey, we're all human here (no offense to all of you non-humaners out there of course :p). I'm a little witty, crazysexycool, I admit that but as sad as it sounds I'm also a ball of emotions. I'm one of those 'wear your heart on your sleeve' kind of gals while still trying to never let em see ya sweat at the same time. Difficult? Yes. Impossible? I'm still working out the kinks but so far so good. Lianne La Havas is like me and when I think about this song ...

 Written by Kelleyah of Turn Up The Music  x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x When you think of Rhythm & Blues now a days you might hear responses like Usher or Mary J. Blige, and while they are talented artists, they are more modern R&B than classic Rhythm & Blues. Well the group Vintage Trouble is here to bring that original sound back. I for one am fully on board with this. They list their influences as Otis Redding, the Black Keys, Ray Charles, and more. Led by timeless vocal tone and presence, small tweed amps, and a mission to move as many people as possible, the band quickly gained a reputation as a high energy and truly...

 Kimbra  - Withdraw Now I can't spend a minute Now I can't steal the time I've lost all my friends like money I've lost all my men to the sky Can't keep your loving from my mind It's worth more than gold, crystals and pride Ready to shake these stars from me But I can't withdraw your heart from mine No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine No, I can't withdraw your heart from mine I never knew what your love could do I blew it all away Thought I could satisfy the yearning of my Heart shaped hole on hold for you Never learned to hold on I hold too tight and have to let go But there's no love, no love, There...
