And now your sitting with the weight of the world in your arms

@KirbyLauryen's A Song A Day: Day 117

"HI Beautiful People :) Just to let you know I actually had a really good day. lol. NO worries! This song came last night while I was doing research on songwriters in the industry etc., and I came across someone who had recently gotten a great opportunity. I had no idea who this person was, yet I immediately saw the contrast on how my day went and their's. A pretty normal day in my calendar, was a life changing day for someone else This isn't a sad song, but it is true. We all have "our special days' that feel like "OUR DAY" but seeing other people have their days should make us want to celebrate the possibility of our "days' happening too. So don't be discouraged. The ultimate truth- is everyday is your day because you're here! I love you for watching." -KL

What I'm Watching: @DirtyLoops - "Rolling in the Deep" (original by Adele)

 

I've completely been blown away by the music I've heard in the last 3 hours. Dirty Loops does a phenomenal cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" (girl, you should be proud!) and their rendition has steadily been gaining momentum across the media and social networks. Coming out of Stockholm, Sweden, band members Jonah (keyboard), Henrik (bass) and Aron (drums) take the funkiest twist and turn one of Adele's #1 hits into a delicious jazz infusion. And while I truly hate to make comparisons between artists, keyboardist Jonah, has essentially channeled Brian McKnight in this particular song to the point where I thought either a) my eyes were deceiving me or b) my ears were lying to me. "Impressed" doesn't quite express how I feel when experiencing Dirty Loops going hard on this track. I'd say, it's one of the best covers I've heard this year to date. If I could, I'd go to see them perform in Stockholm, so until they come to the States, I will loudly admire them from afar.

But still I say, don't believe me? Check it out ;)

What I'm Watching: @Duwende - "As (a cappella cover)" (original by Stevie Wonder)

PEOPLE! People, people, people. I didn't know what to do when I hit the play button on their YouTube video and heard of this glorious awesomeness coming out the speakers. I literally jumped out of my office chair and started grooving to this stellar cover of Stevie Wonder's "As." We all get a little uneasy when we see that a rendition of a song belonging to one of the greats has been done, but when I tell you Duwende put their FOOT (feet?) into this, I mean it. Duwende's sound is warm, inviting, and the harmonies gelled like I haven't heard in over a decade, especially around the 3:03 mark. I can't believe I didn't know about them until today. So be shout outs and kudos to my friend Bri Cox.

Ladies and gentlemen, when I tell you this is what music sounds like, I'm really telling you this is what music sounds like. Don't believe me? Take a listen for yourself. Enjoy.

Diatonic x TMB Presents "STEREOPHONIC"

You might know the Twin Cities producer Matt Mulheran aka Diatonic from being the other half of O-Lay & Diatonic. Well, after a successful re-release of their Meanwhile... project, the beat maker releases his very first beat tape with a little help from TMB. The dude is dope and we're proud to be involved with the project. Enjoy the beats. Chea!

20 year old, Matt Mulheran finally creates his very first Beat-Tape. He is on a mission to become a prominent producer in the Twin Cities Underground Hip- Hop scene. Since being drawn to Hip-Hop by the jazz infused music of A Tribe Called Quest, Matt, operating under the name of Diatonic, has continually pushed to create a new breed of Hip-Hop. The D.J./ producer/ audio engineer is currently enrolled in the Bachelor's Degree for Recording Technology at McNally Smith College of Music. Primarily influenced by Hip-Hop pioneers 9th Wonder, J.Dilla, and Pete Rock, Diatonic poses a sharp contrast to the today's mainstream Hip-Hop by rejuvenating classic songs and creating lively soulful Hip-Hop instrumentals.

What I'm Watching: SigNif "Like My Style"

"[Like My Style] is me explaining how I don’t fit the typical rapper mode, and how I’m 100% fine with that," says SigNif. "Embracing Rejection is about the trials and tribulations of a starving artist trying to pave her way into an industry that’s not particularly in her favor. Rejection is a big part of life and once I was able to except it, I was able to use if for encouragement."

I do like SigNif's style. I've liked it for a while. I've been a long time fan of the Milwaukee bred, NYC based emcee but you already know that because she's no stranger to the site. Sig has been on a bit of a recent hiatus but according to her recent texts, she's getting her mojo back. And today she decided to unleash the Darren Cole/self-directed video for Like My Style off of her TMB, HipHopisCoolAgain.com and KevinNottingham.com presented project, Embracing Rejection. Enjoy the vid.

If you're in NYC April 25th, check her at Lit Lounge (93 2nd Avenue) with J. Philippe, Laurensara, Ane, Yoshi Thetalent and K Rizz. And when you get the chance, vote for Sig to compete for a slot at this years BK Hip Hop fest. Chea!

"They say a fingerprint is one of a kind." That's how I feel about ¡MAYDAY!. Here they release another cut featuring a nice addition to the track with Jovi Rockwell from their absolutely amazing, soul satisfying, epic of an album "Take Me To Your Leader". I've stated numerous times how that album is my favorite one of 2012 so far and by far. I love how intense and dynamic their music is from the lyrics to their vocal arrangements to their production. I have absolutely no qualms about the album whatsoever. But enough of the rambling, check the visuals.

TMB x Uni-Fi Records Presents: Monster House "Raiders of the Lost Art"

Back in February the homie Audio Pilot sent me a track that had been recorded that weekend by SPEAK Easy and Panic. It was among a few that had been done with him on production and the two emcees on the mic. What started as an email introducing me to the newly formed crew going by the name Monster House, became a partnership with TMB and Milwaukee based Uni-Fi Records to present the project. TMB has had ties with MKE since we started back in '09 and we're excited to be part of this LP. With a series of well received singles, we finally present the final product, eleven solid tracks, recorded over the course of six weekends or so. This is Monster House and welcome to the Raiders of the Lost Art. This is storytelling at its' finest. Chea!

Meet Mahalia

Photo by Neil Raja

But she's 13.

Okay, that's the last time I'll mention her age because what's important here is the music. And boy does Mahalia deliver. Folks will make the obvious comparisons to Corinne Bailey Rae and Adele, among others, but I'd rather let Mahalia be Mahalia, as she continues to develop and grow into her own sound. When I first received the email from SoulCulture introducing me to the UK singer/songwriter, I was a bit hesitant. Yes, age was a primary factor (okay, I mentioned age again). But once I watched the interview and began to listen to more of her music, I was impressed.

Today, I've found myself on a bit of a non-Hip-Hop kick and I'm pleased because that caused me to stumble across the very talented Mahalia. So, enjoy the interview below with SoulCulture and check out more from Mahalia here. Chea!

"THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE. WE'RE IN NYC :) Because of You I get to sing a song in the BIG CITY:) thank you so much for watching, for telling your friends. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU." -KL

Even though Kirby is in New York for the next few days, the song(s) must go on. Ha! Enjoy days 108 & 109 from her A Song A Day Series. Oh, and if you're in NYC tonight, check Kirby and some other talented singer/songwriters at SOBs. Doors at 7, show at 8. Chea!
