Smooth Sunday 08.01.17

We get back into our routines after the weeks of celebration and this is (for most of us) our first five consecutive days of work. Urgh...

Childish Gambino - Redbone

Taken from his most recent album Awaken, My Love!, Redbone is seemingly about giving love to an uncommitted lover. The simplicity of this song gives it a wonderfully relaxing vibe to unwind and enter into a state of lull.

Post Malone and Quavo - Congratulations

Post Malone's debut album has taken the US hip hop fans by storm. The track Congratulations now has over 16 million listens on Spotify and this has no signs of slowing down.

Frank Ocean - Ivy

Ivy has a perfectly composed backing track for a cosy Sunday night in. The song itself is about breaking your lover's heart, but despite this there are still fond feelings towards each other "deep down". Sadly, we're still watching for Ocean to release the track video.

Sampha - Timmy's Prayer

Sampha is an up and coming English electronic music artist. He released the tune Timmy's Prayer in 2016; however, it didn't make it into the top 40 charts in the UK. The single is a love ballad to a woman who tore his world apart by leaving him.

Johnny Rain - ....Fuck

Hip hop artist Johnny Rain - who like Sampha, is fairly unknown - sadly hasn't released anything since 2015. However, we can forgive him as his EP is one you can have on repeat all day. This number is one of the most popular on this EP with over 80 thousand listens on Spotify.

dvsn - SEPT 5TH

This Canadian duo are slowly becoming a huge name around the world. They have previously worked with Drake and their album - named SEPT 5TH - gained a lot of publicity through Apple Beats 1 radio show.

The Internet - Special Affair

The Internet is a Grammy-nominated band made up of several leading hip-hop and R'n'B artists. The band has only released three studio albums together, but they have all served well in the US album and hip hop charts.
