[MP3] Phoenix – Alone on Christmas Day

Per Phoenix‘s Soundcloud page:

Phoenix release “Alone on Christmas Day”, a cover of a long-lost Beach Boys holiday track from 1979 that was never formally released. Phoenix’s version features a little help from Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, former “Letterman” musical director Paul Shaffer, and New York Dolls’ David Johansen, and appears in the Netflix original holiday special, A Very Murray Christmas, directed by Sofia Coppola. All profits from the song will go to UNICEF.

[MP3] Major Lazer – Wave Feat. Kali Uchis

This dubby, downtempo Major Lazer track is fantastic! Evidence that these dudes can probably make great records for a long, long time to come. Don’t sleep on this. Just hit play….

Bonus:
Hit the jump for another joint from Major Lazer featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Wizkid, & Kranium. Yeah, you’re probably gonna want to hit play on that one too!

[MP3] Lauren Frawley – Here (Alessia Cara Cover)

Been meaning to post this cover version track for literally weeks now. In the meantime Canadian singer, Alessia Cara, who did the original, has gone from being buzz artist to verging on full-on, blow-up status as has this cover version based on the spin count for it! Good to hear Portishead (or technically actually the Isaac Hayes sample used for Portishead’s “Glory Box”) in this context though, no, for those of you who remember either of those tracks from back (and way back) in the day?
