citizen cope- “lifeline (barefeet version)”

I don’t know where the hell I was when Citizen Cope came out with his latest album, The Rainwater, in Feb 2010. His voice is by far one of the best I’ve ever heard. Although this reminds me a looot of Left For Dead, it’s still sooo good and soulful and worth posting if you were like me and had no idea about this album until now.

martina topley-bird – “sandpaper kisses”

We’ve been talking a lot about the “tired girl”-style of vocalization, and this is the natural conclusion of that sound. By my estimation, this broad has been kept awake by Ben Stein lecturing on the illustrious history of dirt for the past 20 years.

gnarls barkley – “reckoner” (radiohead cover)

This is probably one of my favorite covers of all time.

florence and the machine- “cosmic love”

A powerful and strong voice mixed with beautiful lyrics and dramatic drums. LOVE IT
