[MP3] Jade Monet – Retrograde
New music from the West Coast sent to me by one of my homies out there. It’s got kind of twangy noir-is blues-soul feel, no? Here’s the official press blurb:
Little-known Canadian singer-songwriter Jade Monet effortlessly seduces listeners with her vocals on “Retrograde”. Although sonically, she appears almost playful at times over the track, the haunting production provided by Toronto-based Dusty Chesterfield hints at darker subject matter hidden within the lyrics:
“Fill me up, I won’t say no
don’t know how to say goodnight,
say goodbye, to my friends
it doesn’t end, this social high.”
On Retrograde, Jade starts describes the characteristics of a social alcoholic – the person who has a taste for alcohol doesn’t know when to stop and is always extending the party. Never taking responsibility for their own actions, they instead make excuses and blame others to justify their problem, when the reality is there is no excuse, they are just going backward – stuck in a toxic cycle:
“But it’s not me, it’s family
not my fault, pepper and salt
it’s simply spice – it’s how I’m made
no excuse, it’s retrograde”

[MP3] Desiire – Picasso / No Feelings Feat. Jordan Jones
Great new single by Toronto singer, Desiire. More hip-hop-y than stuff I’ve heard him do prior but the second track here, “No Feelings” featuring Jordan Jones from 3 months ago hinted at this being the direction he’s going in now. Very promising….
#DK11: The album, This One Goes To Eleven… OUT NOW
