The XX – Crystalised 0 (0)

According to music critic Robert Christgau, "Crystalised" uses a musical structure similar to "VCR", "hooky ostinato riff embellished with a few subtle effects, leading to a soft vocal. The exaggerated drawl of bassist Oliver Sim precedes the more human-scale croon of guitarist Romy Madley Croft." Croft and Sim shared lead vocals, which Rachel Kowal from NPR said are "delivered in a sexy call and response fashion that is reminiscent of the duets" by Canadian indie pop band Stars on their 2004 album Set Yourself on Fire, "minus all the antagonism associated with ex-lovers."

Kanye West – Ultralight Beam 0 (0)

“Ultralight Beam” is a plea, a confession, an anointment. It is gospel music that’s hollowed out. There is a choir and an organ, but they sound alone, as if transmitting from an empty heaven. Other voices tangle with faith in a time when God can seem most alive through the destruction of zealots; Kanye prays for Paris. Almighty death and inexplicable persecution cast shadows over this song, lingering in its empty spaces—these forces shape the stray glimmers that manage to break through.

Kevin Morby – I Have Been to the Mountain 0 (0)

Symbolically, the mountain is a place of enormous spiritual heft. People don't say words like "I have been to the mountain" lightly—that's the beginning of a heavy story. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s famous "I've been to the mountaintop" speech looked toward a better tomorrow—a journey through hardship to eventually reach "the Promised Land." The day after he gave that speech, he was murdered in Memphis. View More Kevin Morby – I Have Been to the Mountain 0 (0)

Minor Victories – A Hundred Ropes 0 (0)

The tired old "supergroup" concept finally has more potential to be super. Time was, a band of already-famous musicians was most likely to bring together people who already lived (and drank) in the same place—as with, for example, Johnny Depp and Alice Cooper's Grammys-approved Hollywood Vampires. Today, the ability for artists to collaborate across long distances is nothing new, but something still feels novel about such an accomplished and unpredictable broadband-connected group as Minor Victories.

Don Diablo – Tonight 0 (0)

After the last cross-label collaboration proved to be a smashing success, Don Diablo is back for more. He has gone back in time once again to bring back to life another house classic, and this time from American house label Sleeping Bag Records. The band ‘Class Action’ hit their stride in the 1980s as disco gave way to house music. The band’s biggest hit was ‘Weekend’, which peaked at #9 on the Billboard Dance charts in 1983.

Rhodes – Wishes 0 (0)

Hitimpulse dropped a stellar remix of Rhodes’ ‘Wishes’ this week. The remix brings a chilled down drum and bass vibe to the original while keeping the integrity of the vocals. All in all it is a captivating, haunting beautiful track that deserves at the very least a listen. View More Rhodes – Wishes 0 (0)

Eric Prydz – Opus 0 (0)

Opus is a very good album from Eric Prydz. What can’t be said about about him? As far as electronic musicians are concerned, there’s few artists that can even compare to the Swedish DJ/producer. To progressive house music (and I mean, REAL progressive house) he attains the same status that Paul Van Dyk or Armin Van Buuren have for trance; he is the king, the G.O.A.T.. His unwavering dedication to his sound and his utter disregard for any current industry trends have earned him unanimous respect, and his consistency throughout the years, both with his his self titled work and side projects, Pryda and Cirez D.

Beyonce creating work that speaks to an audience like "Formation " that might not receive the sort of mainstream, visually and sonically-enticing wisdom that Bey has perfected. This reality has never been more evident than on “Formation,” her latest off-kilter, even downright weird trap track that dropped on Saturday afternoon. View More Beyonce – Formation 0 (0)
