Giraffage – Feels

Anything Giraffage puts to tape these days is a must listen. “Feels” falls firmly in that must listen category with it’s pretty melodies and sprawling atmospheres. Give it your attention.

The-Dream – Dope Bitch (Feat. Pusha T)

So we’re not the biggest Dream fans out there (although a b3sci’er can put on for a little “Shawty is a 10” when the inspiration strikes) but “Dope Bitch” ticks enough dope b3sci track boxes to get a little run here. You’ve probably heard this one before, but for what it is T. Nash executes and Push could rap on a beat this fine in a coma. Get it.

Lucy Rose – Lines

“Lines” plays true to the sweet sounding sparseness that we’ve all come to know and love from the young UK based singer-songwriter Lucy Rose, but more so, the song branches into new musical territory where a mix of instrumentation, syncopation and counter-melodies clearly share in the greater vision. It’s a substantive vision of an artist who clearly has lots (and lots more) to say. Lucy Rose’ debut album Like I Used To will be released on September 24. Mark it down.
