Beautiful Ballad from Birmingham singer-songwriter Laura Mvula. There is definitely more to come next year.
Meanwhile hug Laura on Soundcloud, Facebook and visit her Website
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.

While its sumemertime, i keep hearing James Blakes 2010 anthem limit to your love, everywhere i go and somehow nobody seems to remmeber that the original is just a few years old from 2007. The original is by Feist from her Überamazing album Reminder. Here you go, refresh your memory.

Torontos Weeknd has been making quite a ruckus recently, and everyone has their music playing, its a great thing to see good music get recognition and their mixtape – slash – album House of Balloons has been one of my favourites of 2011. This great video was done by high5collective from california and their motto is “We make music videos for artists that inspire us. Check in every couple weeks for a new video. Enjoy the art, bitches.” Great i can only support & respect that!

plenty of remixes floating around of Rollig Stone, but none of the remixes is getting anywhere close to the original.

A modern, soulful classic – thats what this song is to me. Nina Simone, Simone, Laura Izibor & Ledisi lay down the title song to the movie “For colored girls” . I dont know anything about that movie, nor did i care googling it (and i dont mean that in the Tracy Morgan sense ) might be good, might be bad – i am not too much into movies, but good musics good music, and if i was still the mad record collector i was back in the day i would have hunted that tune down. Ps there is a new Janelle Monae song on that album! Definitely worth checking!
