Place Like This (feat. Olivia Jasmine) – LeSonic
Growling overdriven synth bass, bass guitar-like harmonics, enough space for every instrument/track to breathe and shine, and the magnificent vocals by Olivia Jasmine. Brilliant.
Ghosts I, track 9 – Nine Inch Nails
An entrancing track from Trent Reznor’s brilliant experiment.
Brave – Sara Bareilles
You Get What You Give – New Radicals (Pomplamoose cover)
While there’s nothing like the euphoric spirit of the original version by the New Radicals, this version by the talented Pomplamoose performers is something truly special. Pomplamoose are endearingly exuberant and talented to the point where it all seems natural and effortless. Performances like this make me believe in the world a little more.
Sweet Dreams + White Stripes Mashup – Pomplamoose ft. Sarah Dugas
What a magnificently executed mashup.
These Dreams – Heart
Nancy Wilson, stepping in to the light for a bit while backed by her sister Amy, searing powerhouse lead vocalist of Heart, on a brilliant performance.
While the Earth Sleeps – Peter Gabriel / Deep Forest
Goosebumps.
This magical collaboration features at a pivotal moment in the 1995 movie Strange Days. The movie is quite confronting at times but well worth a watch, especially in these times.
