Music Monday 20.

Shad - We, Myself & I



I'm going to have to restrict my narrative of Shad's latest single from the album TSOL, for all of our sakes. Regulars and Twitter followers will know my love and respect for the Canadian MC. He is one of the freshest, most intelligent and creative rappers I have heard in a long time, if not ever. Read the comments on his videos to discover I am far from the only one. I instantly fell in love; got every album, listened to every song, watched every Youtube video. And I strongly suggest you do the same. That is all.


Clare Maguire - Ain't Nobody (Breakage remix)




In the same way that it took me a while to fall in love with The XX, the Breakage remix of this track becomes truly addictive. The amount of space and the pace of tracks such as this and The XX can often lead to them passing you by at first, however be careful not to let them slip away. This track is simply beautiful, it does not rush itself or give into the crowd, but sucks the crowd in instead. Much in the same way that Jakwob does. Magnificent track, make sure you give it a chance.

The Tallest Man On Earth - The Dreamer



Yet another Scandinavian to steal my ears and heart with some gorgeous music. This time it is Kristian Matsson, aka The Tallest Man On Earth. A wonderful voice, beautiful scene-setting lyrics and just a guitar come together in perfection.
