For some reason, it turned out mostly soul-ish, and mostly English tracks. Hurm. Guess that's what I've been feeling these days.
1. Mother Nature - Albert Jones
Mostly because of the horns at the beginning - DAMN
2. Mind Blowing Decisions - Heatwave
"Mind blowing decisions lead to head on collisions"
3. Electric Relaxation - A Tribe Called Quest
"Let me tell you about my only vice. It has to do with lots of loving and it ain't nothing nice" - oh and by the way, I absolutely love the music video. That's my NYC.
4. American Boy - Estelle
Hmm. We mainstreaming?
5. Mexican Radio - Kinky
Kinky is a Mexican rock band that is really, really good.
6. Sunshowers - MIA
You probably know MIA by now. If not, you're seven years late, but no worries! Her shit is still good.
7. Ordinary Guy - Blue Scholars
"Always find time to get love and give it right back"
8. Superman Lover - Johnny Guitar Watson
Because, let's face it - I'm a Superman Lover.
9. Since I Found My Baby - Cornelius Brothers & Sister Rose
HOW COME THEY DON'T MAKE CHILLAX SONGS LIKE THIS ANYMORE???
10. Like a Stare - Corinne Bailey Rae
Sorry guys - as if Estelle wasn't enough.
11. I Know I Know I Know - Tegan and Sara
So, for contrast, here are Canadian twin lesbian folk singers!
12. After Hanabi (Listen To My Beats) - Nujabes
This song is fireworks on the beach.
13. Summer Madness - Kool and the Gang
(Haha classic, I know, but consider it my last grasping of summer as it gets cold)
