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. :lol:

 

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

You mean that in the best way possible i hope :lol:!

 

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. :wub:

 

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.

Yeah definitely. Sam Sparro was great. :lol:

 

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'. :D Hang on, there was a Kendrick collab? :o 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. :heart:

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).

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?!

^ 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:

YES it really is :wub:

 

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

 

Also featured on 'Bed Peace' with Jhene Aiko (the EP 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).

'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!)

^ still not got round to it :drama: 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.

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

 

Wonderbroz feat. Sage the Gemini 'Drop it'

 

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

 

 

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