- Kendrick Lemar - Good KidLemar's debut is absolute perfection to me and this song by far stands out. Close runners up are The Recipe (as stated in last months playlist), Swimming Pools (Drank) and Compton. This song reminds me of Andre 3000's "The Love Below" especially in the second half of the first verse where the vocals layer and echo and the choice of samples also has hints of J. Cole's début From these two comparisons alone, it's safe to say the song is complete genius. Good Kid, m.A.A.d City is extremely well polished for a début but with enough grit within the lyrics to make way for a new rapper.
- Miquel - The Thrill
- Alpines - Cocoon
- John Mayer - Ain't No Sunshine (Cover)Wow. I have an extreme dislike for covers of Bill Withers' Ain't No Sunshine as I feel it is never done any justice but this has by far got my certificate of approval. Its been given a Californian freshness and ease to the song without losing its original soul and character.
- VAST - Pretty When You Cry
- Ben Howard - Oats In The WaterStill has the charm and atmosphere of his first album but explores a darker, more nostalgic side.
- GOOD Music - Sin City
- Nas - Roses
- Breakbot - Baby I'm YoursSo much funk, its hard to handle. A bit like listening to Passion Pit in the 80's. Or, as my friend who introduced this song to me said, "a modern Bee Gees".
- The Villagers - Becoming A Jackal
