Huarache Lights

Have you heard about Hot Chip?

They're a British electronic music band and they have been around since 2000. Hot Chip have recently released their sixth album, Why Make Sense? and I'm obsessed with the first single  -"Huarache Lights" -, which is in loop mode at the moment.

Honestly, this genre of music is not my favorite but this song is kind of cool, kind of deep, perfect to hear when you want to step aside from what's happening around you: I put my headphones on and the world is out.

Here it is, my soundtrack for this week:

Hope you enjoy it!

Soundtrack of the week: FKA twigs

Tahliah Debrett Barnett, aka FKA twigs, released her debut album, LP1, in August 2014. Shamefully, only this week I caught this song on the radio, and I instantly thought it was very catchy and relaxing. When I searched for "Two Weeks" on Youtube, I was pleasantly surprised with this cool video.. Check it out:

Oh, and also... She is currently dating Robert Pattinson... You lucky girl!

Crush of the Day: Ben Khan

Savage mode
Credits

I found him unexpectedly on the radio and I already love him. Ben Khan is a 21 year old boy from London and he released this year an Extended Play with four amazing demos, “Savage”, “Youth”, “Eden” and “Drive (Part1)”.

The EP, entitled 1992, is available on Soundcloud and you must give him a try. Ben is already called a neo-soul hero with a hypnotic style between his voice, the melodies and the basslines.

Is electric, deep and mind-blowing. All you can ask.

We want more, Ben Khan!

Banks, the goddess

I am so in love with Banks! This is the perfect sound to relax, to study, for the office, even to work out; it’s so pleasant to my ears that I can’t get enough of it! I have to admit I’m addicted to her album. The first song from Banks that I discovered was “This is what it feels like”, and I was immediately curious to hear more from her. 

Goddess

Then, there was “Waiting Game” and she convinced me that she is not just another “one hit wonder”. This American singer is a beauty and her style has been considered “dark R&B”. Her biggest influences are Lauryn Hill and Fiona Apple – that means she is in good hands! Today, I’m hearing “Goddess” on repeat and this is my soundtrack for this rainy week! Just go on YouTube, give her a chance and enjoy, you can thank me later!

You TopCrusher,
