[FEATURE] THE FLAVR BLUE - NO OTHER LOVER
FEATURE, Music, Original Mix1 CommentWRITTEN BY HOLLIS FROM THE FLAVR BLUE
It can be tempting to be elusive as a singer and songwriter, channeling mystery, in hopes of captivating the intrigue of your listener. A step beyond, a degree removed, just out of reach. But as the saying goes, the best writing comes from when you “write what you know.” For the last five years, I've had a love in my life that has believed in me, grounded me, made me laugh, made me think, made me dance, and has proven himself in moments of crisis and action. He was present for the birth of The Flavr Blue, and his support of each of us in the band has been indispensable through our journey. And so, even though it made me blush all the way through writing it, "No Other Lover" is an unabashed ode to my boyfriend (and TFB's BFF) Jeff. The veil is lifted. The real me is revealed. All of the quirks in my voice, my earnest love note to bae. I'll admit, it still makes me blush sometimes.
I love this song beyond its truth in my life because it spotlights our band’s collective love of classic R&B and soul; it hums with vinyl textures with a clean finish, like a whisky served neat. We had Elan Wright and Brian Chinn bless the track with a guitar and bass performance that made the song sparkle, and performing this live with Parker on guitar and Lace on bass now is truly a delight.
Love Notes is all about the love and this song is the realest for me. And, we managed to sneak a Seahawks shout-out in there... ;)
Hope you enjoy "No Other Lover."

GOLDEN COAST - HIGH NOON GETAWAY
Music, Original MixCommentIt's electro indie pop hour over here in the Beautiful Buzzz office - and we are feeling this new track from Los Angeles duo Golden Coast. These fresh faces have been bouncing around our radar over the past year, and we've also seen them west coast touring ... starting to live the dream! They have just put a new single into the world that is full of everything that is good in the world of electro pop vibes - catchy hooks with dreamy vocals and synthed out melodies - we love it! Let them take you to that secret place.
[PREMIERE] EMBER ISLAND - WHERE ARE Ω NOW (GHOSTS REMIX)
Music, RemixCommentIn my opinion, so far "Where Are Ω Now" is the best track of the year. Skrillex and Diplo crushed, and ended up turning me into a Belieber ... for real! So, when I heard this version from our homies GHOSTS I did a little happy dance ...... because it's brilliant! GHOSTS are no strangers around these parts, we have talked about a number of their tracks in the past - but when this hit my inbox it was pure joy! They used the Ember Island cover instead of the original ... it's so beautiful ... I must have already listened to it 100 times! GHOSTS seem to have a careful elegance around everything they produce ... well done! You can grab this track as a free download HERE!
RKCB - IGNITE
Music, Original MixCommentBeing the perpetual single lady, I often swoon over love songs because damnit ... I wanna be in love too!! Hearing the feelings of music makers and their sappy pop songs is a favorite pastime, especially if it's a super sexy slow jam like this riiiight here! Electro pop duo RKCB is breaking one million hearts (including mine) with this soulful gem "Ignite" -- When Riley Knapp and Casey Barth fuse together their diverse layers of electronic music, the result is bananas. RKCB can definitely light me up any time! Listen and love!
GOLD FIELDS - MAKE ME FEEL FT. KLP
Music, Original Mix1 CommentI'm not sure why someone was not screaming at me all week saying -- hey girl that new Gold Fields tune is on fleek! How am I just now coming across this? Their US agent is like my best friend, I throw parties with their US management -- yet somehow this release has alluded me for at least 2 days. Really guys? Everyone knows Gold Fields are kinda my favorite band ever, how did I not get advance copies and such as? Whatever! Anyway - this new Gold Fields track is bananas good! "Make Me Feel" is electro groove at its best, and KLP lending her amazing vocals adds super sexy vibes!! This makes me really excited to hear more new tracks, hopefully I can be adequately informed when such things happen! Ha! I love this band!!
