KitschMix’s Tracks of The Week – Kimberly Anne, Fifth Harmony, BEA, & Raphael Saadiq

Kimberly Anne – Heartbroken Medley

UK-based folk singer Kimberly Anne’s ‘Heartbroken Medley’  is an acoustic Mash-Up, which has been playing over and over on my iPod. Love her vocals.

Fifth Harmony – BO$$ (BOSS)

After releasing two gold singles in the US, Miss Movin’ On and BO$$more, Fifth Harmony – comprised of Ally, Normani, Dinah, Camila, and Lauren – have set their sights on global domination.

BEA – We’re Like the Hard Born

Raphael Saadiq – Just Don’t

Saadiq has been making great music for years and continues to create melodies that will live forever.

Fatima Al Qadiri – Shanghai Freeway

KitschMix’s Tracks of The Week – Beyoncé, Raye, Girlpool and Meghan Trainor

Beyoncé – 7/11

This fun and playful video features Beyoncé dancing in her underwear, making a human pyramid and straight up playing around with friends in what looks like a hotel. It’s an impromptu party and we’re glad we got the invite.

 

Raye – Need Me

17 year old London teenager, RAYE, is the UK’s latest offering to the music industry and we love her. Releasing her first EP entitled ‘Welcome to the Winter’, this year – she credits Ella Fitzgerald, Lauryn Hill and Drake as some of her biggest inspirations. Having being compared to Lorde, RAYE ensures she injects enough depth into every one of her tracks.

Girlpool – Blah Blah Blah

Girlpool have just released a new track and video, which they shot with Sini Anderson, director of The Punk Singer.

Meghan Trainor – Lips Are Movin

‘Lips Are Movin’ is the follow up to Meghan Trainor mega hit ‘All About That Bass’. This video has had over 9 million hits in less than 10 days – POW!

KitschMix’s Tracks of The Week – Julia Vero, Little Dragon, Bastille ft Angel Haze, and Charli XCX

Julia Vero – ‘How Does It Feel?’

Totally in love with the track. The drums and synths build on this power-pop smash, with a euphoric chorus that continuously delivers each time it comes around. This is song which talks to you, gets caught up in your thoughts and gets your attention.

Charli XCX – ‘Gold Coins’

This single brings me back to my 90’s youth. ‘Gold Coins’ is the latest track from Charli XCX’s upcoming pop album SUCKER. Grungy guitars and vocals, plus tongue-in-cheek lyrics puts this track securely in the teen-movie soundtrack category.

Little Dragon – Underbart

Little Dragon have shared the video for ‘Underbart’, from this year’s Nabuma Rubberband. Directed by Grant Singer, it shows singer Yukimi Nagano exploring the city in a number of mental states—one of which features Don Bolles of the Germs wearing mermaid-green hair.

Bastille – Weapon (vs. Angel Haze vs. F*U*G*Z vs. Braque)

We are loving the stomping beat track from British pomp-rockers Bastille. Titled ‘Weapon’ the song features vivid lyrics from acid-tongued Angel Haze. “Watch all those dormant arise, and put all your palms in the sky,” Haze spits, speaking in grandiose terms befitting the stomping beat. “No more falling to pressure, no more villain acceptance.”

The song is not coming off a proper album, but rather a forthcoming mixtape called VS (Other People’s Heartache, Pt 3). In a release, Bastille frontman Dan Smith explains the difference:

“I love having the side lane of our mixtapes as a place where we can make music people might not expect. This mixtape is very much a reflection of our 2014. It’s always been really important to me to constantly make new music and also to collaborate with people, something we don’t really do on our proper albums.”
