Rae Morris – Do You Even Know

Rae Morris

 

Rae Morris is no newcomer to the UK music scene, and it’s incredibly evident through her refined musical stylings and talents.  This track, Do You Even Know Me, is a solid and stunning pop song, accompanied by a thoughtful and fashionable video.  The thing here is that Rae’s style is devoid of scene-isms.  There is no edginess to her style- instead it’s classic and approachable.  The hooks are a bit old school, much like the vintage furniture stop motion spinning in her video, but Rae herself, dressed in a stunning red piece, is evocative and emotional, honest and immersive.  Check out the video below, followed by a remix of the track by Kaiotic favorite Oceaán.

Younger (Tiedye Remix)

I’m not one to really post remixes but…Younger by Seinabo Sey is LIT’RALLY one of the best songs I’ve heard lately, and it hasn’t gotten old.  Also, I’m totally enamoured with this unflinching, raw & honest beauty and anything she makes is certain to be gold.  On top of that, this remix is actually kinda awesome.  It flips the song onto one of its brighter melodies and hollows it out a bit, creating a bit of a Flight Facilities feel at times and not destroying the center piece- Seinabo’s awesome voice.

Younger for the win!

There are some really great tracks in this week’s digest.  A single taken from Haim‘s Days Are Gone Deluxe edition (co-written by Twin Shadow), a new single from Mapei (which is completely hitting the spot right now).  The debut track from Hartebeest is fantastic, Lorde’s Royals gets the remix treatment from touring mate Until The Ribbon Breaks, Donna Summer’s Bad Girls goes Gigamesh, and Easy Lover debuts a new track (by the way, EP release show will be at The Paper Box on October 23rd).

The internet was all abuzz this week with some fantastic new releases.  Chvrches have released another single ahead of their full length debut (due out in September) entitled Gun.  This is my favorite track from them so far.  It’s more in the vein of The Mother We Share than the Recover EP, and it’s perfect for summertime pop.
