Noteworthy (Stream): Jaymes Young – Dark Star

Noteworthy (Stream): Jaymes Young – Dark Star

Sometimes it’s a sunny day, sometimes it’s rainy. Often you never know until the day in question is well underway. “Dark Star” doesn’t provide the answer to this question, but it’d sound absolutely superb beneath a star-filled sky. Jaymes Young produced and belts the lyrics…

Noteworthy (MP3): Gallant – Please? (Vignette) (prod. by Felix Snow)

It seems I (we) can never get enough of these dreamy beats + falsetto vocals. I’m racking my brain to think of one artist in this style that has popped out in the last year or two that I couldn’t listen to repeatedly and failing…

The Weeknd – Life Of The Party

The Weeknd – Life Of The Party

The Weeknd – Life Of The Party Opening ominously, “Life Of The Party” is definitely one of the darker tracks of the Thursday catalog. I love the guitars. It’s a bit grimey, with Abel Tesfay’s washed out vocals devoured in the verses by the steady beat. When…
