Dwele is the man....

So I've already posted one Dwele song on the blog and if you want to get more info you can read it here . The reason why I chose to post about him twice is because there are just to many songs of his that are amazing. This one that I am choosing to show you is called "Obey"  and is off of the same album as the song before. I think the difference between the two tracks shows his versatility as an artist when it comes production. While "Takes 22tango" is more fun and dance-like, this one is a lot more serious and pretty sensual. Dwele uses the seductive powers of his voice to walk a women through the very sexual experience that they are having. I know you're still having trouble with that bedroom mix that you're working on. It's okay, just pretend like you found this yourself. Check it out.   

Remix Alert: MGMT's - Electric Feel (Frank Ocean Remix)

              Did you know that Frank Ocean has a mixtape? If you didn't I'm happy to tell you that there are some great Frank Ocean songs that you've been missing out on. One of these beautiful compositions just so happens to be a remix of one of MGMT's most popular songs "Electric Feel", a personal favorite of mine. In the remix, Ocean uses the power of his exceptional singing voice to transform the groovy tune into a beautiful, and very sexual experience. Through the duration of the song, Frank describes what he's "been meaning to" with the help of some really amazing background vocals that really immerse you into the track. What I really like about this song is that Frank Ocean made it his own. Of course what is going on instrumentally is the same, but because of the amazing singing and musicality of Ocean, it feels completely different. There are very few artists that can make a remix sound fantastic while still keeping their authenticity and distinct style, and for that I respect him. This one should definitely be on the bedroom mix. Check it out. And download his mixtape  http://www.datpiff.com/Frank-Ocean-Nostalgia-Ultra-mixtape.210282.html

and here's the original....

    

We End Up Tangled When We Tango

        Dwele is and R&B artist who you probably haven't heard of, but if you're a Kanye fan you've definitely listened to him in a song. Despite him not being widely known, he has had a pretty successful career. He's released a total of five albums the most recent of which being in 2012. This track is off the album "Greater Than One" and is called " Takes 22tango".  Let me start off by saying that this is the perfect song to start  a classy "bedroom" mix, it isn't cliche, it's pretty much all about foreplay, and he literally talks about how surprised and turned on the girl will be because of this song. Aside from that it's just a great song. The production is awesome on this track. The transitions are so smooth and seamless that I barely notice the switch from real instruments to synths, and Dwele's vocals just float effortlessly over top of the music. This one is a definite panty dropper.

Who The H*ll is Jai Paul?

 The fact that he is considered to have one of the best albums of last year is one reason to know who he is. The fact that this "album" was just a bunch of unfinished songs stolen from him and put on the internet, is an even bigger reason to check him out. Even if you don't who he is, you've probably come across some of Jai Paul's music. Some big name artists including Drake and Beyonce, have sampled his work, and his song "Jasmine" is on soundtrack for GTA V. The reason I chose the song "Crush" is because it was the first song that I heard by him, and I was immediately hooked. Everything from the beat in the  intro, to the synth part is just perfect. Its just to good not to get up in move to the beat, and to end it with a sick guitar solo, just pushed this track over the top. This is definitely one to check out.
