Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds - The Flaming Lips ft. Miley Cyrus and Moby
Off their Beatles collaborative cover album, The Flaming Lips take all the best psychedelic elements from The Fab Four’s 1967 classic and stretch and distort them.Evolving the sound to the point of sounding like you’re standing in the thrusters of a rocket as it takes off, where each crescendo finds a a new layer to add to the depth of sound. A sonic masterpiece that plays as the perfect partner to Miley’s cutting vocals you get a breathtaking interpretation of an all time classic.

Hurt Me Soul - Lupe Fiasco
A deep, honest track from Food & Liquor about Lupe’s come up and the struggles he had to deal with just to survive. Holding nothing back he makes a point to call out problems in everything from rap, materialism and gun violence to US involvement in foreign politics and the Catholic Church.
танцевать - Molchat Doma

SWEET / I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE - Tyler, The Creator ft. Brent Faiyaz & Fana Hues
His self proclaimed favorite song off his seventh studio album, Call Me If You Get Lost continues his trend of every project’s 10th song being a double feature. SWEET starts as a synthy pop song about Tyler’s complete infatuation with someone before those feelings aren’t reciprocated and Tyler doesn’t get chosen turning I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO DANCE’s style to the British genre “Lovers Rock” even interpolating the 2005 song ‘Baby My Love’ by The In Crowd & Jah Stitch. Repositioning himself from infatuation to questioning his love’s judgment when it doesn’t get reciprocated he self destructs wishing they never met in the first place.
