The Weeknd – Often
I’m feeling the urge to update with more music lately! I guess my period of avoiding the intake of too much music has ended. For a while, I found myself reluctant to listen to music as much as I once did because of a metamorphosis of sorts. You know, we all know the roller coaster moments in life… I couldn’t handle the journey I usually go on when I listen to music because of what was happening to me internally. My life was shifted so greatly that music wasn’t as important for me to absorb as it was for me to start writing. This was only for a month or…

FKA twigs – Two Weeks
Well, this is fitting. FKA twigs’ new visual for Two Weeks has her toned with gold while her main image is adorned with the wardrobe of an ancient queen. This woman is a true artist, from her visuals to her unique production for the record! While the video is directed by Nabil, you know from her previous visuals and her background that FKA Twigs has a lot of interesting things to share beyond her first offering her song writing and sounds. Thus far, I’m loving the direction and will be awaiting more visuals from her debut album titled LP1. I tend to get very blissfully lost in myself whenever I…

Little Simz – E.D.G.E. EP
I have replayed E.D.G.E. more times than I remember now. Little Simz caught my attention from a freestyle, but it wasn’t until I came upon clips posted by her management that I decided to listen to more of her work and found myself taking it in all it once. It’s like that sometimes. I am glad that I came upon those clips at that time, because this girl’s flow is phenomenal! You instantly notice that she is not the typical female MC we are presented with by society, these days. For one, she is British and puts no effort into hiding her accent. Little Simz also counters the general aesthetic…

Full Crate x Mar – Man x Woman
There is a super intriguing visual to Full Crate and Mar’s single Man x Woman that has finally been released through Island Records. This is big news as their previous work together is some of the most soulful in my collection. Mar’s song Our Attempt is on every song list I make for my girls, and I Said is an absolute classic to my ears! I’m excited to know that they are still making music together and will be releasing some more new stuff soon. These two belong on the list of my anticipated duos of the year. I’ve gathered their new visual as well as a few older gems…

Purple Ferdinand’s Dragon Fly EP
We are fortunate to be exposed to the internet, because those like myself get to discover amazing artists based across the country and seas who I might otherwise hear about years from now, if ever. Some of my favorite musicians are coming from the U.K., such and Etta Bond, Little Simz, Rainy Milo, and this latest feature, Purple Ferdinand. Even Full Crate and Mar (Netherlands) join the grip of artists coming out of Europe whose sounds pull at me greater than half of the artists ruling America’s urban/pop radio record. So, onto Purple Ferdinand. With one look at this girl, even with her gloriously inked skin and style, her gentleness…
