NEW JESSIE WARE!: jessie ware - alone

jessie ware - alone
as the 3rd single from her upcoming album 'glasshouse', this ballad just feels like the perfect closing credits to a rom-com/feel good movie! between the retro 80's jam, spanish styled pop and now this, i'm VERY curious about the different sounds the upcoming album will produce. so far... so good!

WONGIE BALLAD OF THE WEEK: jacob banks - unknown (to you)

jacob banks - unknown (to you)
my fave baritone of the moment keeps on putting out beautifully emotional tracks (which are better experienced live if you ever get the chance) leading up to his debut album coming out next spring. 'unknown' is in fact a track that was released two years ago via his EP 'the paradox', but over the years of performing the song, jacob has found a new connection with it's sentiments and wanted to share it with his fans. the end result is just gorgeous. LOVE THIS GUY!

VIDEO PREMIERE: sam smith - too good at goodbyes

sam smith - too good at goodbyes
already #1 in 4 countries, the return single of sam smith is definitely a bonafide hit. though the crooner may have stayed in his lane for this moment, hopefully other material from his new album will showcase some exciting choices. for now we hum along to this one...

WONGIE SOUL BALLAD OF THE WEEK: sampha - (no one knows me) like the piano

sampha - (no one knows me) like the piano
honestly there's no need for any description to why this song is on our fave songs of the week list. just listen to uk singer/songwriter sampha bare his soul as he plays over a simple piano. taken from his album 'process' this is just brilliant!

NEW CHRISTINA AGUILERA: christina aguilera - change

christina aguilera - change
with christina originally gearing up to release new material, she has held off her plans for the time being to release this powerful single with all proceeds going to the victims families of the orlando shooting. it's a beautiful message that she dedicates to all those who perished and are affected by the events at the pulse club last weekend. if you want to donate directly please go to this link.

VIDEO PREMIERE: rebecca ferguson - i hope

rebecca ferguson - i hope
class act rebecca ferguson returns with the wonderful 1st single off her upcoming sophomore album 'freedom'. though many are speculating that the song is about her ex zayn malik from 1D, the real story should be how haunting (with a tinge of sadness) her voice can be; perfect for a song like this!

WONGIE SONG OF THE MONTH: sam smith - lay me down

sam smith - lay me down
yeah... this is a nice slice of perfection from the wonderful sam smith. after offering his awesome vocals to disclosure's amazing 'latch', they return the favor by producing this classy soulful yearn. don't know what to add to this except that i'm in love (press repeat and le sigh again).
want more? check out sam singing the song acoustically, just goosebumpingly BRILLIANT!:
