Flight Facilities - Crave You

Artist: Flight Facilities ft. Giselle Track: Crave You Album: Crave You - Single Year: 2010
To anyone who actually follows this blog, sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I've been busy wrapping up an internship and moving to a different city. I'm finally back in my old apartment and will hopefully get back on track with updating here. Thanks!
Anyways, this song is so very chill. I like the simple piano and vocals at the beginning, but I love when the beat comes in about 45 seconds in with snaps and claps. The vocals are soft and sweet, especially in the "na na na" part. 
Also, I found this song through the music video on YouTube. One of the comments said it looked and sounded like Urban Outfitters - the movie...and now I have that image in my head every time I hear it.

Kimbra, A-Trak, & Mark Foster - Warrior

Artist: Kimbra, A-Trak & Mark Foster Track: Warrior Album: Vows (Australian Tour/New Zealand Deluxe Edition) Year: 2011
I loved this track from the first time I heard it. The three rising artists were sponsored by Converse to collaborate and produce a fresh track for their "Three Artists, One Song" campaign. I must say they chose their artists well. Kimbra lends her beautiful, floaty vocals to the verses and meets with Mark Foster's high, fresh vocals in the chorus. I can definitely feel the sound of Foster the People coming through in the bouncy synths and crisp beats, especially in the bridge. I don't really know anything about A-Trak other than the fact he's remixed for several popular artists.  It's another one of those tracks that fills me with this funky energy and makes me want to take on the day full-stride. Hope it does the same for you! Click for lyrics, music video, & links (lots of links this time)!

SomethingALaMode - Little Bit Of Feel Good

Artist: SomethingALaMode ft. Adam Joseph

Track: Little Bit Of Feel Good

Album: SomethingALaMode

Year: 2009

So, I just recently discovered that this song is actually a cover of Jamie Lidell's song by the same name. It was a little odd listening to that one since I've been listening to this one for so long. They have very different sounds, but I still prefer SomethingALaMode's version. 

I'm in love with the violins & cellos layered with the dance beats. The chorus still maintains the funky edge from the original. It's an interesting combination of a song. Give it a listen!
