[MP3] Miguel – Simplethings

“Simplethings”, Miguel‘s contribution to the Girls Soundtrack Vol. 2 which dropped yesterday (Feb. 11) is f-cking EPIC! Can’t wait for dude’s next album, seriously….

[MP3] Letoya Luckett – Don’t Make Me Wait

I know I’m in a distinct minority on this one but Letoya Luckett was always the hottest one in Destiny’s Child to me. And this is not the actual official single from her forthcoming new album??! Wow….

[MP3] Slakah The Beatchild – Something About Her

Track from Kitchen favorite, Slakah the Beathchild‘s forthcoming Soul Movement vol. 2. Giving me Robin Thicke/Pharrell vibes. Am I crazy for saying that??

[MP3] Kelis – Jerk Ribs (Mount Kimbie Remix)

Damn, Mount Kimbie is on fire currently, huh? They remix Kelis‘s frankly lackluster sounding “Jerk Ribs” (hit the jump to hear that version) from her forthcoming Food album dropping (UK only?) in April after dropping their own, excellent “Made To Stray” the other day.

[MP3] Lady – Get Ready (Ticklah Rmx)

From Truth & Soul Records:

The song, Get Ready, taken from her self-titled LP, is one of the best examples of her truly unique sound. It’s driving rhythm, which falls somewhere in-between William DeVaughn’s “Be Thankful For What You’ve Got” and that N.W.A song that samples William Devaughn “Be Thankful For What You’ve Got”, is the perfect backdrop for Lady’s raw vocal stylings and positive message. The EP also includes a masterful remix by NYC reggae super-dude, Victor Axelrod, a.k.a Ticklah. All that remains of the original are the vocals, the rest is replayed and reprogrammed. The result is a song that sounds like a classic reggae tune that could of been cut on the same day and in the same studio as Johnny Osbourne’s “We Need Love”. This is not a remix in today’s sense of the word, this is a version.
