March Mixtape

Here’s the mixtape for March! 20 songs old and new that we’re loving at The Music Box.

Music Monday – Volume Eighty Six

1) Rudimental, Will Heard & Anne Marie – Rumour Mill

Catchy, chilled-out tropical house-influenced track with ambient and electro elements. Will Heard’s rich, soulful vocals are a perfect match for Anne Marie’s jazz-influenced ones.

2) Katy B & KAYTRANADA– Honey

Chilled-out neo-soul track with electro elements. Katy B’s layered harmonies are gorgeous and the entire track has a relaxed vibe.

3) Rihanna – Same ol’ mistakes

Near enough a note-for-note cover of the Tame Impala original. It’s just as psychedelic and moody but it’s a fine cover.

4) Danny L Harle – Broken Flowers

Effervescent electro track featuring giggling synthesisers, scatty vocal samples and buoyant percussion.

5) DMA’s – Delete

This gentle acoustic ballad is a throwback to 90’s Britpop in a similar vein to Oasis. Despite somewhat shabby lyrics, it’s a pretty little track.

6) Troye Sivan – Ease

Gentle synthpop track with punchy percussion and warm, fuzzy synthesisers. Sivan’s bruised vocals drift softly over the catchy backing track and it’s a lovely song.

7) Bryson Tiller – Don’t

Chilled-out hip hop track on which Tiller’s  autotune coated vocals float over eerie sounds and transient beats.

8) SOAK – Reckless Behaviour

Lovely dream-pop/indie folk track from Irish singer-songwriter SOAK.

9) Seal – Love

Gorgeous and haunting piano ballad on which Seal’s raspy vocals reverberate infinitely into beautiful piano chords and eerie synths.

 

10) Rihanna – Close To You

Gorgeous piano ballad which closes Rihanna’s highly anticipated ‘Anti’ perfectly.
