The Genesis Era

The old days that started Chrome Music and YUM YUM. More producer than consumer. Everything fresh.

the Weeknd – Thursday (album)

Seems like the wait is over, after a couple of tunes and a mixtape that everyone went crazy for, the Weeknd (or better yet Abel Tesfaye) quickly became one of the talks of the year and definitely one of the most prominent new acts this year, making people anticipate the debut album even more, even though the Weeknd released a whole set of 2011 anthems so far. ‘Rolling Stone’, ‘The Morning’, ‘Wicked Games’, ‘High for this’ and almost any other tune released so far.

I had ‘Rolling Stone’ (which reappears on the new album) on my chill Firewall Mixtape which was a kind of best of my ipod selection and i really had a hard time deciding which one of their tunes to put on. File under r/firstworldproblems

Decide yourself if it can live up to its expectations / people on Fb are a bit complaining that the mixdown is low on the vocals in comparison to the “House of Balloons” mixtape / true. Download & Enjoy “Thursday” full album here.

Cloud Control – Pursuit Of Happiness

This band was recommended me by my brother plenty of months ago, when the album ‘Bliss Release‘ came out. Never had the chance to write about them, but now it’s time. Hope you like the version of the Kid Cudi song as much as I do.

Mr. Vegas – Pum Pum Shorts ft. Teairra Mari & Gyptian (video)

Ever since he really exploded on the scene in ’99 Mr Vegas has been a contsant reaggae hit guarantee. Like i said in the previous post, chromemusic favourite & YUM YUM all time anthem supplier Mr Vegas seems to be on fire, and this might be a flashy video, that you would expect from a 2004 Beyonce mixed with some Busta Rhymes a decade ago, and that would be more than just played these days, but its Mr Vegas and in my book he can get away with anything, and as always he delivers another prime timer for the dancefloor (its so catchy, its reminiscent of the 2002/03 duty rock sean paul).
