Fatboy Slim & David Byrne "Dancing Together"
ft. Sharon Jones

David Byrne has, once again, updated his colorful website with new streaming music off his latest collaborative project with Fatboy Slim, a concept album about the life of the first Lady of the Phillipines, Imelda Marcos.

On this latest track, the duo recruited vocal powerhouse Sharon Jones to portray Lady Marcos in the telling of the story when “Imelda takes her first trip abroad as first lady and has a great time. She hangs out with celebrities, socialites, and old East Coast money,” as Byrne puts it.

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings "I Learned The Hard Way"

Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings will be releasing a new album, I Learned the Hard Way, on April 6th and they are giving away the album’s title track for your listening pleasure.

Like most of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings’ increasingly impressive and consistent body of work, “I Learned The Hard Way” finds a unique and special way to combine huge horns and Sharon Jones’ massive voice with one of R&B and soul’s most discussed topics, without making it sound redundant.

Quadron "Pressure"

There’s something… something to be said about the sense of recognition and knowing you sometimes experience when listening to a song for the first time.

Just wanted to plant that little seed in your brain before introducing you to this sweet, sweet winter gem.

With bass lines reminiscent of those reinforcing tracks sung by a Knowles sister and a voice delicate enough to draw Lykke Li comparisons and commanding enough to draw Chrisette Michele comparisons, Denmark’s Quadron fell from the sky sounding like an eclectic mix of the songstresses that allow me to sleep soundly at night. Their self-titled debut album was released to iTunes on January 26th. The album will be out March 23rd everywhere else. Here's the video to my favorite song off their album so far:
