Rozes R U Mine Stelouse Download
Sometimes you just find music that completely speaks to you. That's what it felt like when I found Ta-Ku. I was like ummmm, where have you been all my life? (stuffs chocolate and wine into my open mouth as I listen to Songs to Make Up To). It's an eclectic mix that I'm sure only certain people are into but there's one thing you can't deny; it's beauty. These are love songs and they are mind-blowingly good.
Ta-Ku is a musician from Perth, Australia. He started back in 2011 with an EP titled KT. His most recent album, Songs to Make Up To, serves almost as a sequel to Songs to Break Up To, which was released in 2013. When I heard these two, I thought it was the coolest thing I've ever heard. The songs truly live up to the title in the craziest ways. Both keeping an electronic/R&B based sound with incredible musicality. Songs to Break Up To, could almost be playing in the background as a couple fights about how they don't make time for each other anymore, or how he's never home for dinner, or she's always late. The intense musical elements spark visuals in your brain, almost as if you could create your own music video just from listening.
Songs to Make Up To, is even more delightful to listen to. The song names are a true indication of what magic is about to happen: "Hopeful", "Love Again", "Trust Me", "Long Time, No See", "Sunrise/Beautiful", "Fall4You", "Work In Progress", and "Down For You". Every song makes you think of beautiful things in life and that's how they make you feel too.
One thing that makes Ta-Ku different is that his style is unpredictable, a song can shift into something completely separate from what you just heard and it still cohesively fits together somehow; it's incredible. "Love Again" (Feat. JMSN & Sango) is a clear masterpiece off this album. Repetitive piano chords, intoxicating vocals, and a clap beat dances in your brain making you want to make up with someone, ANYONE. The song, spanning over 5 minutes is borderline heavenly. Not to mention, the dope hip-hop drag at the end making it a true Ta-Ku song. Most songs are led with no or minimal vocals and it totally works, which is a skill in itself.
Check out this live performance of "Love Again":
The truth is, I have too many good things to say about Ta-Ku and the way he's building his music. It's intricate, intoxicating, powerful, and immensely captivating. Something every artist should be trying to achieve. Touché to you Ta-Ku. Cheers to being a delicious musical force.

With rhythm like Miguel, a voice like Frank Ocean, and lyrics like Chet Faker, Michael Blume has created his own path that is new age and worth hearing.
After the release of his first single, "Manufactured Love" I knew I would be in love with this man; I was right. His natural vibrato-infused voice ignites a musical fire inside your soul. Everything about him is hypnotizingly cool. Once you start listening, you can't stop.
His latest single, "Colors" is slightly more upbeat than his previous. "All of the colors are bleeding from my head, all the colors paint a picture in my head," are the poetic lyrics heard on this pretty tune. Blume blends R&B beats with alternative lyrics and melodies to create something extremely unique. "Colors" resembles a relationship which includes mistakes, drunk texting, imperfections, and much more. The song builds to a gorgeous outro sung by a heavenly choir. Music just doesn't get any better than this.
Listen to "Colors" here:

"R U MINE (SteLouse Remix)" is a lyrically driven dance track. The vocals are feminine and captivating. Rozes sings, "I'm terrified to tell you what's on my mind, but it eats me up, there's a reason why I keep it all inside." "MINE" couldn't be more beautiful especially the heavenly chorus, pounding beat and don't forget that DROP. Thick bass plague's this song in the most appealing way. Verses almost serve as hymns to a story about confusion and insecurity in a relationship. Pleading vocals truly make this song as epic as it is. It's becoming more and more clear that lyrically driven dance tunes make a serious mark in the heads of music fans.
Brothers Howard and Guy Lawrence make up the electronic/dance duo Disclosure. Their sophomore album,Caracal,was released this past Friday. Featuring collaborations with some of the best voices in music today like, Lion Babe, Lorde, Miguel, The Weeknd, and the English King himself, Sam Smith. The album is an eclectic art concept from start to finish.
I have spent days listening to every single song off the album and I have fallen in love with every single one. These guys go beyond the dance genre into some serious technical skill. Each song is almost reminiscent of a 70's groovy sound illuminated by pulsating drum and bass beats. Every chorus is magnified by poetic lyrics and impeccable vocals.
I listened to "Superego" having never heard of the singer Nao before and instantly became obsessed with it. Her voice is smooth, angelic, and harsh all at once, making the song as hypnotizing as it is. "This ain't the me show, keep it on the low
Where's your superego? You let your head grow, I tried to let you know," guide this song to be powerful and sassy.
Singles like, "Omen", "Holding On", and "Willing & Able" all capture the soul elements that sometimes get lost in dance and electronic music. When I heard each one of these singles, I became addicted, because no one else is doing this type of music. Disclosure has this ability to evoke so much emotion in each song; something very uncommon in this genre. Vocals are always executed brilliantly and echo the production flawlessly.
Big concepts are lining this album from top to bottom. "Moving Mountains" is an easy-going chill electronic tune until you reach the 3:50 mark where the song takes a subtle turn into hip-hop while still keeping the captivating angel-like vocals. It's so incredible you can't help but listen to it over and over. While, "Good Intentions" led by R&B crooner Miguel (you guys know how much I adore this man…), picks up right where Miguel left off on his album Wildheart."Intentions" mimics everything you would hear in a standard Miguel song; dope electronics, an incredible consistent beat, and sultry vocals to no end. Lyrics like, "But I'm not perfect the way you're perfect, and though it hurts, yeah, it hurts to say goodbye, I know I let you down…" make this song the perfect "I'm sorry". Or, you could just make a skittles pizza like Mia Thermopolis.
I couldn't be more amazed byCaracal.It is stuffed with one of a kind musical content that more people need to appreciate.
