Missing You (Maths Time Joy x Kimberly Anne) - Everything But The Girl


The original song "Missing" was a classic 90's song by the band Everything But The Girl. The very talented London future garage producer, Maths Time Joy teamed up with vocalist Kimberly Anne to remake this classic. This song is a great slow, soothing song and it's one I have on repeat on my sleep playlist. & it's a FREE download !!!

I See Fire (Kygo Remix) - Ed Sheeran

We all probably know the voice of Ed Sheeran, who sings the well known song, "The A-Team". He was the opening act for Taylor Swift's Red Tour and has written songs for One Direction. He's an amazing vocalist and songwriter. Kygo is a rising down-tempo electronica producer who remixes a wide range of songs, from Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" to Passenger's "Let Her Go". This by far is my favorite remix by Kygo so far, the beat and the acoustic guitar go perfectly hand in hand, and it's a great one to add to your sleep playlist (assuming you guys have one).

LOUDPVCK



LOUDPVCK are made of up of duo Kenny Beats and Ryan Marks, and are considered some of the most influential artists in the genre of trap. Every remix they touch is incredible. What I enjoy most about their songs are when the drops hit, it's so exciting. I'm actually going to provide a couple of my favorite songs by them. They're the perfect songs to get your blood pumpin.

How Many Guesses (The Riddle) - The Unused Word


Anna aka The Unused Word is a singer and producer with a magical voice.
"How Many Guesses (The Riddle)" is a unique mash-up of a song, where she takes verses from numerous different songs and forms her own. The only instruments used in the song are a salt shaker and microKORG, which also makes it simple and unique. She takes all these lyrics and makes them flow into one song perfectly, and in here lies her talent. I recommend you listen to all the songs she offers on her soundcloud account, especially her cover of Badu's "The Healer". 

She asks her listeners to try & guess how many songs they think make up the song!

Waves That Rolled You Under (Backstroke Remix) - Young Summer


Bobbie Allen is the voice behind Young Summer. She's got such a great sultry voice, and "Waves That Rolled You Under" has been one of my favorite songs for the last couple of months. The Backstroke Remix gives the song more of a electronica/trap feel, which is a good touch to the original which has a more laid-back summery vibe to it. One of my favorite aspects about the song are the lyrics, that I absolutely adore.

It was all a thrill
I got locked in but I had to go
The balcony was closed, but our minds were open
And it was touch
Feel me breathe in
Go on and touch, don't think too deep in
Don't be so scared of the things you love

Talk About It - Erik Hassle


Erik Hassle is one of my favorite vocalists/artists. He disappeared within the music scene a few years back after he released his debut album in 2009. His most recognized song is the pop ballard, "Hurtful", which if you haven't heard I highly recommend you listen to it. 



He is now signed on with RCA in the United States and I expect a big comeback from him. "Talk About It" is a single he released that will be on his upcoming album, set to release in the US on November 5! Although the lyrics in "Talk About It" are a bit sad, Hassle has a knack for making a sad song sound like it's the happiest in the world. The song talks about the stress of being in a relationship with someone you are really into, and instead of always "talking"about feelings and defining everything, not talking means something can be beautiful (at least this is my interpretation).
