Danielson Share Jad Fair-Directed Video For New Track “On Purpose”
As with the early Danielson records, the verses here are often chromatic, and the rhythms are often exceedingly slippery, and there are modulations. If you didn’t know better, you might even say the Danielson songs are a bit progressive, with canny and exceedingly sophisticated arrangements, but just when they appear to be musically demanding (though entirely in reach for a Smith family ensemble that has come to be able to play anything), the songs give way to big beautiful hooks (often in the choruses), repetitions that are often sung by massive ensembles of Smiths, sometimes in counterpoint, antiphons of Smiths, and with the ecstatic and prophetic quality that such hooks should entail, even as Smith’s lyrics have become more allusive and less patently gospel-oriented, with the result that they are even more powerful, emblematic, and persuasive.

London singer / producer SAKIMA has shared his latest track, “Holy Water”, the first single from his forthcoming debut album, Project Peach.

Jess Kent’s “Girl” out today
“I wrote “Girl” when I was feeling the pressure from society to ‘fit in’ and give in to a certain stereotype to be the girl people expect me to be. I have days when I feel like a tomboy, days when I don’t want to wear makeup and days when I want to dress up and feel my femininity. More than anything, I don’t want to wait for permission to have my own voice and use my music to say how I feel. I want to feel empowered to make my own choices about how I go through this world and I encourage all girls to do the same.” – Jess Kent
