The guys over at Far From Cyan posted this track from R&B Supergroup Lucy Pearl a couple of weeks back. It reminded me of being a teenager and what a great album they made.

Pink Martini* – Hey Eugene! | (GPF)
I came across this on my random travels on YouTube this week and whilst it’s a little cheesy, I rather enjoyed it.

Teedra Moses* – Be Your Girl (Kaytranada Edition) | (GPF)
This remix of a 2004 track from American singer Teedra Moses is by Montreal Dj Kaytranda. It is a little cheesy but I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since discovering it earlier in the week on Far From Cyan.

Blue Highway* – Lonesome Pine | (GPF)
I stumbled across this on YouTube earlier in the week (it’s scary that Google has worked out I have a weakness for Bluegrass) and inexplicably have had it stuck in my head since. It might be the banjo…
Apparently Blue Highway are a contemporary Bluegrass band from Tennessee. This track is from an album of the same name which was released on Rebel Records in 2006.

Solange – I decided
I have been wanting to re-visit Solange since posting Losing You, which was one of my top tracks (and probably my favourite video) of 2012.
I really like this track’s old school flavour. The intro has all the hallmarks of a Motown classic. It could almost be Diana or Martha jumping in with the vocals. A real feel good classic.
Since hearing this I have been reflecting on how astonishing it is that Beyonce may not even be the most talented member of her own family!

Kanye West – Touch The Sky
This still sounds great nearly 10 years later. Although given that it samples my favourite track of all time I may be a little biased. The video is pretty solid here too.
