I can't stop. Lately, I just can't stop downloading mixtapes. It's incredibly tricky... given that every time I plug my iPhone into my computer iTunes pops up and says "Your phone is full! Womp! Womp!" But I just close my eyes, click "sync" and hope for the best.
Here are my current favorite downloads:
Jhene Aiko // Sailing Souls
Introduced to me by Maiya over at
Blind I For The Kids, this tape is extra smooth. It's one of those laying in bed, shades drawn, no talking, body warming compilations.
Jae Franklin // Always Needed You
Okay, I proudly
(sort of) admit that I am one of those people who listens to music, memorizes all the lyrics, but could never recall what they say. I can't help it - I'm always too caught up in the harmonies and trying to find ways to add my own riffs on top. This mixtape makes me LOVE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.
The HARMONIES. Ugh, I can't. I mean, obviously, I can.
Zeyi // Working For Bill
Yeah, I know him. But that's not why I'm noting his mixtape as one of my top listens right now. Working For Bill is a work of art that happens to have been completed by one of my peers. It's incredibly fun, thoughtful, and striking. Download immediately.
Miguel // Mischief
By no means new, I couldn't let this list of current favorite music go by without a note about Miguel. In fact, I don't think I have to say much else aside from LED microphone (if you've seen recent performances, you're right there with me).
DJ NYACK // Dwele Tape Vol. 2
This mix makes me want to take my clothes off, put on my softest robe, pour a glass of wine (with the rest of the bottle on standby), and ignore the world. It would also go well with hookah, sunsets, sexin', and love.
What are your favorites?
