[MP3] ShaqIsDope – Ble$$ings (Prod. by Aaron Bow + Teddy Walton)
Super dope new track from Toronto’s ShaqIsDope that dropped about a week ago. Don’t sleep on this kid!
Previously on The Kitchen:
[MP3] Pataphysics – Today
New single from a Melbourne-based act affiliated with friends of The Kitchen, Audego. Check the science:
“Today” is the new single from PATAPHYSICS, off his forthcoming album Tip Of The Spear. A jam to bump this summer, it’s also a mantra of positive thought coding for anyone who has or is going through a hard time.
Pat is joined by the soulful Kaiit (‘Natural Woman’) and Allysha Joy (3070) who lend their vocal prowess and unique tones to this joint. It’s easy to hear that Pat, who played every instrument on the track, is a Mercury Prize winning songwriter, who has a vast production background from ARIA award winner 360 to Nazeem Hussain’s Legally Brown (SBS).
Pata who?
If you live in Melbourne and see live music there’s a good chance you’ve seen pataphysics on a stage. His freestyle and trumpet stylings have seen him frequently playing or recording with: Billy Davis, A Brother Scratch (3070), So.Crates, The Foreign Brothers, Wolves in the Cellar, Hau Latukefu and a host of other bands. A mainstay in the scene, it is a unique musicality and his commitment to refining a sound which has seen him perform around the country from Laneway Festival to The Sydney Opera House, delivering his powerful live show.
His rhyme style reminds me of ̶B̶a̶n̶k̶s̶y̶ Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja of Massive Attack. Agree?
[Album Stream] McCallaman – It Takes Two
Beautiful album by Toronto’s McCallaman. RIYL Jesse Boykins III, Dornik, Theophilus London, The Internet, Quadron etc.
[MP3] Feist – That’s No Way To Say Goodbye / Stranger for Gord
Super late pass on this but Feist posted a tribute to Canadian musical treasure, Leonard Cohen and it’s lovely and one for the Tragically Hip‘s Gord Downie and it’s appropriately hauntingly affecting. R.I.P. to the both of them and thank you to Feist.
[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”
