I still remember the day when I've heard Seventeen by Tessa Rae for the first time. It was like a thunderstrike - just hit straight into my head and can't leave it for a long time. It was a debut of dreams and it's still one of my favorite songs of 2016. It's a shame that I missed her Young Blood EP, and if you did that too, you HAVE TO listen to it. Now Tessa is back with a new track called Wrong With Me and it's amazing again. That's why this is the first song today!
I haven't heard about FTRSL until today, so now I've learned that he's a Canadian singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer and you should pronounce his nickname as FutureSoul. He released his debut EP at the end of 2016 and now he's back with his new single Never Go Back. It's a really nice mix of electronic music, pop, and R&B.
I really don't know much about TOBY who's song is the next one on my today's playlist. Following his Facebook fan page, I can tell that he's from London and he's making music. But what more do we need? He's making music and he's doing it well. If you don't believe me, just listen to his recent song called Give You My All which features vocals from Stonestreet.
I don't know if you noticed that after my return to blogging, it's definitely more calmly and melancholic here - I don't know why - maybe it's just a sign of an autumn. And when we're talking about autumn, I've got a perfect autumn song for you. It's Superhuman by Tom Forest and it comes from his debut album Hope which will be released on January 12th.
Ohhhh, TOKiMONSTA. She already made one of the best songs of 2017 (yeah, I'm talking about Don't Call Me - you can find it here), but she's not stopping. She released an amazing We Love about a month ago - I haven't written about it because of my hiatus, but now I have a chance to write about its remix made by Vancouver based DJ/producer Felix Cartal. Can't say that it's better but it's at least as good as the original one, so check it right now!
OK, it's not so calm here after that stunning remix so let's go to the another one. This time it's a Yeasayer's remix of Julietta's Runaway. Luckily, they haven't changed that brilliant song a lot. It's still a perfect electronic song with that amazing 70's/80's vibe. Brooklyn trio just gives the original track a little more flair.
We're getting close to the end of today's playlist so it's time to check some EDM gems. The first one is a debut single by producer Mount Hope. It's a pretty restful, but bass-heavy at the same time, house track called Unfold and it features singer/songwriter THUYMY on the vocals.
The last one for today is Human by Blinded Hearts. If you haven't about him - he's a Munich based producer who already made some well-known tracks. The recent one is great too - we have a powerful production, great vocal samples on the bridges, meaningful lyricsand a really cool lead vocal.
Gdy 7 marca tego roku zaprezentowałem Wam debiutancki track Tessy Rae, czułem, że nie jest to jej ostatnie słowo. Seventeento utwór, który do dziś przewija się przez moją playlistę i z pewnością znajdzie swoje miejsce w podsumowaniu najlepszych nagrań 2016 roku.
Dziś Amerykanka powróciła ze swoją najnowszą produkcją - Dreamland to utwór podążający ścieżką, którą zapoczątkował poprzedni track. Znów balansujemy gdzieś pomiędzy Laną del Rey a Zellą Day, co idealnie trafia w moje gusta. I to zapewne ostatnie takie porównanie dotyczące Tessy, bo dziewczyna powoli wyrabia swoją własną markę. Tym razem jest nieco wolniej i triphopowo, jednak równie klimatycznie. Utwór zwiastują debiutancką EP-kę artystki.
Siedemnaście sekund - tyle czasu potrzebowałem od wciśnięcia "Play", by zrozumieć, że Seventeen to utwór, który wydaje się stworzony z myślą o chillsoundzie. Autorką piosenki jest Tessa Rae - 22-letnia wokalistka i kompozytorka z Los Angeles, dla której ów track jest debiutem.
Przemówił do mnie zarówno bardzo fajny, zakorzeniony w trip-hopie, elektroniczny podkład, jak i wokal Tessy, który nieco kojarzy mi się z Zellą Day. Seventeen pomógł wyprodukować Justin Warfield, a track zwiastuje mixtape Tessy, zatytułowany Two Worlds.
Utwór okraszono również całkiem przyjemnym teledyskiem:
