Like I said yesterday…All of these artists I’m discovering are from the UK. Introducing John Newman.
I find this music video slightly creepy. Okay, very creepy.
And who keeps adding dead leaves into the overflowing bathtub?!? I suggest she close the window and not take baths with clothes on. I don’t think that’s how bathing works.
Why does it seem that almost every R&B- or soul-influenced I discover is from the UK? The scene over there must be bangin’.
As an extra, she collabed with Bastille (You should already know how much I love this band!) for a cover of TLC’s “No Scrubs.”
I’m hoping to find some remix to this song in which the production has some bombastic bass. If you find one, let me know. I think that would make this song even better!
It seems like there has already been like six singles from this album already. I’d like to see if his team decides to release Headlights as a single. I’d like to see that happen. Or maybe even Bad Guy.
Am I late? This is like a year old but I’m just finding about this right now. Done by Lamorne Morris aka Winston from New Girl. He’s pretty hilarious in real life.

Fun is known for making catchy songs, and this song is no exception. I was getting tired of hearing their singles, probably due to overplay on the radio. But this song… something about it.
Maybe it’s just because it speaks to my current situation. Please refer to the “cuffin’ season” references throughout this blog. Lol.
Either way, have a happy Thanksgiving, and continue to enjoy the beautiful music!
Someone should make a video of both videos playing simultaneously. [EDIT:] Someone did LOL. They copied it shot for shot. Bwahahahaha! #icant
Kanye rant coming soon…
Uh-huh, honey!
Original:
It’s sooooooo cold outside! Wahhhhh! My skin is not happy at all.
This means we’re in a very crucial part of Cuffin’ Season. I’m so sorry I didn’t take it so seriously. Now I’m suffering! Must….find….cuddle buddy………..
During Praise and Worship last Friday, we sang this very powerful song in tribute to the people directly affected by Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda in the Philippines. I was deeply moved and became teary-eyed while we sang our hearts out to this song. The lyrics seem so appropriate for what they have been through. I pray that even through these hardships that their faith endures.
Stay strong, Philippines.
I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say “Amen”, and it’s still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
[Chorus:]
And I’ll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I’ve cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can’t find You
But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
“I’m with you”
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
[Chorus]
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
[Chorus x2]
I saw Paramore live in concert on Nov 9th. I’ve always wanted to see them in concert since high school since they were part of my personal high school soundtrack! Hayley Williams is one of my favorite vocalists, and now she is one of my favorite performers. She was so energetic singing and dancing all over the stage! When she slowed down and sang “When it Rains” (one of my favorite songs ever) and this song, I nearly teared up. This is one of my favorite songs from the new album because of what it’s about: sadness, hope, letting go and moving on. I probably should stop singing it more than once everyday but it’s one of the songs right now that keeps me goiiiiiiiing.
Every night I try my best to dream
Tomorrow makes it better
Then I wake up to the cold reality
And not a thing has changed
But it will happen
Gotta let it happen
A morning full of meetings after coming into lab at the crack of dawn. And i’m still alive. What’s my secret? Blood Orange!
Dev Hynes, working under the name Blood Orange, has recently released “Cupid Deluxe”, a solid album from start to finish. I’m really diggin’ the sound, and I think a lot of R&B lovers would feel the same way.
He’s done a lot of writing for other artists, and has contributed to Solange’s latest project.
Here’s the last track on the album, “Time Will Tell”. Such a chill song. Video reminds me of Dave Chapelle’s Rick James skits. I was waiting for him to hop up on the piano and be like “Eff yo pianooo!!”
But that choreography, doe. I think I would dance around the same way alone in my room while listening to this.
Enjoy!
