Soundtrack | 7.27.13 | Lianne La Havas - Lost & Found

I spend a lot of time looking for new artists to listen to that I can add to my Spotify playlist and with the over-saturation of mediocre talent on Youtube, it's refreshing to come across the soulful and airy voice that Lianne La Havas possesses. Thank you Pigeon and Planes for the intro. 

Check out this real, relatable song:


What do you think? Are you a fan of her voice? Her music? The entire package?

Soundtrack | 7.2.13 | Refined by The Stuyvesants (Released 6.10.13)

What do you get when you put creativity, time, and a soulful album with just the right amount of story-telling? You get a Refined piece of work by The Stuyvesants. The entire album is perfectly thought out letting your mind imagine life in the 70's through unique albums covers and fitting song names.

Some notable favorites:

3. Dilemma
4. Portyln - Love the entire package
6. Sunshine - Uplifting on a rainy day; can't wait to listen to it on a sunny summer day in BK.
9. Future Groove - especially at the 2:15 mark.
13. She Still Got It - Obviously.
15. Pleasure & Pain
16. Velvet Room - Favorite album cover
18. En Las Rocas
22. Good Times - Favorite song on album because it reminds me of my favorite Apollo Brown beat


Take a listen or two. What are your favorites and why? And make sure you check out their other albums - "Yearning For Your Love", sampled from The Gap Band, is another favorite off of The Finer Things Vol 2.
