Kid Cudi released this song earlier in september, after pushing back his album. The track is an uptempo, upbeat song with chants and horns and one funky guitar riff. Love the vibe, it has Pharrell’s prints all over. Was still hoping he’d also be featuring his vocals on it though… I read that Kid Cudi is currently in rehab, to deal with his anxiety and depression issues. Wishing him all the best, can’t wait for the rest of the album.
Have a great week!
Solange Knowles released her new album ‘ A Seat At The Table’ on friday. This is the fourth album by Solange Knowles and it took her almost four years to complete. Was it worth the wait? Definitely, if you ask me. The album contains 21 tracks written & produced by Solange, with special guests Lil Wayne, Kelela, Q-Tip, The-Dream, Dev Hynes, and Kelly Rowland.
Not only has she released an amazing album, she has also made two videos with amazing visuals, which she directed herself as well.
Time for some Dutch music! Two weeks ago the video for ‘Club Overleeft Wel’ by Dutch singer/songwriter Linde Schöne was shot in Tilburg. (If you look closely, you can spot me dancing around as an extra with feathers on my head) The videoshoot was so much fun! Check out some of the backstage pics I took at the shoot:
Five years after ‘Channel Orange’ , Frank Ocean released his latest album on Saturday night. He already surprised us last week with a visual album ‘Endless’ and the gorgeous (NSFW) video for the song ‘Nikes’. We’ve been teased with dates, a livestream.. but in the end it was all well worth the wait!
Fans in New York, Chicago, London and Los Angeles were able to get a 360 page magazine called “Boys Don’t Cry” ( the title that was originally given for the album) and a free copy of the album ‘Blonde’. I imagine long lines there! ( were any of you there?)
I’m happy I waited to exchange my three month free trial period for Apple Music, have been playing the album non-stop. Love the whole vibe. What do you think? Check out the album and the video:
YAAAS. Just had to share this live performance of ‘Freedom’, performed by Beyonce featuring Kendrick Lamar, and her amazing dancers. Go and watch it, before Youtube takes it down…
Hey everyone! Starting of this week with a brand new playlist! I’m going to my first festival of 2016 this sunday: Boogie Down festival in Eindhoven. Can’t freakin wait! On today’s playlist I’ve selected some of the artists that are performing on Boogie Down. Now let’s hope for a little bit of sunshine…
Kehlani returned to the music scene with her new single “24/7. This is her first release since she was admitted to a hospital after a suicide attempt earlier this year.
The lyrics open with the statement “It’s okay to not be okay”, something I find very powerful. She’s encouraging people to be honest about theirselves and their feelings.
Ain’t that the truth! Love this song, has been on repeat ever since she dropped the single. Have a great week!
I’m still recovering from the shock of losing another icon, Prince. His music has been there for me all my life, and has inspired so many artists I look up to. Like most, I have been rediscovering his music and live performances.
While we were all busy crying are eyes out (at least I was, don’t know about you) Beyonce released another visual album, entitled ‘Lemonade’. It really is her best album to date, if you ask me! And the visuals are stunning. I’ve made a playlist filled with tracks that were sampled on ‘Lemonade’. Can you recognize them?
