Finally. YAY. A thread for any songs you come across that just need sharing but that don't fit into a separate thread of their own.

Feel free to post anything from

• classic songs that you're re-loving or discovering for the first time
• upcoming albums or EPs from exciting artists
• random songs that you heard and need to share
• album/single rates for any artist you happen to be listening to

Also the place to request music or artists if you're dry on new tunes or to ask people for opinions before getting a new album etc. You WILL get a response, promise.

Discover new music that you may never hear otherwise as well as rate the latest tunes or albums that other people are listening to. Please try not to post a new song/album until you've at least tasted a bit of what came before you and made a comment or simple RATE score on it.

Old, new, smooth, abrasive, undiscovered. THIS IS THE PLACE.

Have to start with this beauty. Been liking him for a while, and this seems to be his most accessible song yet.




Also helps that he is delicious himself with an equally as hot voice to match. Starting to get a bit of radio support too which is good to see <3

If Sam Sparro ever went Urban, that's what 'Astronaut' would sound like.

My recommendation is 'Dinner' by Blood Orange (aka Dev Hynes, producer of Solange's True ). I bought his album Coastal Grooves a few months ago and it's literally amazing. I'm stanning him big time atm.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 24th August 2013, 12:31 AM

You mean that in the best way possible i hope !

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0r1xfgJfTE is so, so good too for those that have heard and like Astronaut. The video is so dark.


This is good! Like straight out of the 90's with the video and all.

Ashamed to say i haven't actually got round to listening to the True EP though properly yet (only heard it in bits apart from the Kendrick collab that came later - listening now and it's still just as good). Really should get on to the whole thing soon.

Adoring 'Astronaut' on first listen! I'd heard 'Back to Me' before and loved that but hadn't looked into his other stuff yet.
That VOICE.

Blood Orange/Solange also great recommendations, the True EP was one of my favourite releases from last year, can't wait for a new album.

Posted by: SceneofSIXCrimes 24th August 2013, 12:23 PM

Yeah definitely. Sam Sparro was great.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved BO's album. His other alias Lightspeed Champion wasn't really my thing so I'm shocked to say Coastal Grooves is one of my favourite albums ever. You and Cremey should give it a try if you both liked 'Dinner'. Hang on, there was a Kendrick collab? Need to give it a listen when my youtube speeds up. Other than 'Losing You', I'd say 'Some Things Never Seem to F*cking Work' and 'Bad Girls' are the EP highlights.

Fans of Yeezus might want to check out Travi$ Scott (he features on Guilt Trip with a similar sort of sound to the rest of the album and is present throughout Cruel Summer). Got an EP, Owl Pharaoh which is a bit of a riot and quite fun for the most part.



Definitely my highlight from the stuff i've heard off him so far (along with Upper Echelon).

Posted by: Tommy G 12th September 2013, 07:16 PM

Ooh yay been waiting for this thread! Listen to nowhere near as much new music as a few months ago but if I find a gem I'll post it here.

This remains one of my favourites from the past couple of years:

So addicted to this special little remix:




Was entered into BJSC MONTHS ago and i'm still obsessed. Fast becoming one of my songs of the year <3

Seeing as there isn't a thread for this (I assume he's not big enough yet to warrant his own thread, maybe a mod could split a post into a new thread if he is?):



Well this is f***ing MAGNIFICENT isn't it?!

Posted by: Eric_Blob 3rd December 2013, 06:45 PM

^ Childish Gambino is definitely big enough imo. He had a song (I think it was Heartbeat?) go viral on Youtube and top 100 on iTunes a couple of years ago, and I think even Radio 1 playlisted it. Plus he featured on a top 10 hit with Leona Lewis.

I heard one of his songs once which I loved, but I've never found it again since...

While I'm here:

Posted by: ClausofKubrick 8th December 2013, 12:44 AM

YES it really is

A reliable source tells me it's top 100 on iTunes right now.

Also featured on 'Bed Peace' with Jhene Aiko (the http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=158324 highlight <3) so check that out too!

I've been obsessing over 'True' since being reminded about it in this thread and giving it a spin. Are her albums also worth the venture into?

'Look Good With Trouble' is so special (the full Kendrick version AND the ~1 minute EP version).

Posted by: Jonjo 14th January 2014, 03:01 AM

'Cosmic Journey' (song) is gorgeous! You should definitely give that one a listen. I liked her debut album, but wasn't obsessed with it. 'Sandcastle Disco' and 'Cosmic Journey' are the easy highlights for me. Not sure on her other stuff (bar 'True' which you've heard!)

Posted by: HausofKubrick 7th February 2014, 07:18 PM

^ still not got round to it she's on my list - along with Brandy if anyone has any recommendations of which albums to start with for her? I adore some of her singles just need to explore further like Solange.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 5th March 2014, 12:35 AM

Just came across this nice, fun & vintage R&B number from Mila J (Jhené Aiko's older sister):

Can anyone recommend any upcoming rappers for me to listen to if possible?

Posted by: Jonjo 24th March 2014, 03:32 PM

Schoolboy Q is possibly the most notable "rising" rapper!

New song from Estelle. I decided not to make a topic about this because Estelle flopped so hard with her last album "All Of Me" in U.k two years ago. But her new videoclip is quite controversial and I think that she wants attention again. It's not bad though.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 6th May 2014, 10:33 PM

I don't know if it ever made it onto this forum anywhere, but a beautiful laid-back soul number from a few months ago, remixed to perfection <3

The Wah Wah Collective have an official music video..'Narita For Tokyo' definitely check it out.



‘Narita For Tokyo’ a dance song and music video with an 'Electronica Appeal' taken from their debut album ‘Cry Baby Soul’. Narita is named after the Japanese airport.

Also from the album is a wicked jazzy dance track. prying eyes..



the album is well recommended for lovers of soul genres!!

Just come across this quite incredible song & video package. Wait until the 2 minute mark and it picks up in spectacular fashion.

Sevdaliza is an Iranian born, Dutch singer\songwriter\producer. Previous song 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpDQeVKEq_Y#t=77' too. Seems to be all about the visuals too which i love <3

Sinead Harnett - No Other Way. I loved her song with Rudimental (Baby), and this song is great too:

Just listening to Blood Orange's 'Cupid' album and 'Chosen' is taking my breath away! It's WONDERFUL!

Stylo G - Call Mi A Leader



Combination of a Bob Marley beat with recycled Call Mi A Yardie lyrics, but works well imo.

I can definitely recommend this amazing Dub style cover of Miss Jackson by Outkast.

Radio Riddler have smashed it on this one

We've fallen in love with this song and we hope you do too! Check out R&B artist "Eileen" and her latest single "Delete (feat. Nikita The MC)!

Thought I'd post this here as I think a couple of people might be pleasantly surprised.

Vanessa "The voice of The Saturdays" White has dropped a new song. It's a strong R&B album track! I think some people here will like it. This sound is really working for her, imo. It's like a song Justin Timberlake would've recorded for 'The 20/20 Experience'.
