Don't Touch
Love Spells
It took me a minute to let this artist sink in...mixing several genres into a silky smooth sound that is both seductive and dreamy, confident and bold, and surprisingly unique in a time where imitation seems the order of the day. There is a hint of Prince in the constant pulse of sexuality that comes through in this song...yet without the urgency and angst...just a pure cool and smooth power.
Sitting In The Corner
Cuco (Featuring Kacey Musgraves and Adrian Favela)
I don't know - the video is quirky and odd in the best ways - the song is smooth and genre bending - the collaboration fun and unexpected. It's an inspired artistic vision wrapped in a smooth sounding pop song with something for everyone.
Lonyo

I just need a little joy in my life these days - how can you not find it in this song and this video!?
If I Let You
The Womack Sisters
With a bloodline that includes grandfather Sam Cooke and uncle Bobby Womack - this trio of women have soul and groove emanating from their very fiber. This video is intoxicating in it's simplicity and pure soulful power. Each sister brings their own vitality to this song in a series of confident gestures, refined attitude, and exuberant charm. Back that with a Mambo backbone, some searing psychedelic keyboards, gritty horns, "in the pocket" drum fills - it all combines to be something kind of magical and delicious.
Que Barbaro
Los Animeros
The new wave of intrumental bands laying down funky Latin inspired grooves is refreshing and a vibe both nostalgic and new. These jam has it all and just sounds good following the Womack Sisters!
Like A Drummer
The Wave Pictures
This post is more video than it is song...but both are kinda great. The people, sights, and sounds just relay a simple and pure feeling of joy. Just more evidence that happiness and good times sometimes rely more on a good song, a cold beer, bumper cars, and a sunny day, than any kind of material wealth.
