WONGIE BALLAD OF THE WEEK: birdy - words

birdy - words
as the official 3rd single off her album 'beautiful lies', i have to admit that i haven't been as vocal about these releases as i've been of birdy's work in the past. call it a case of good music that just falls by the wayside of 'sexier' releases, but every time i hear tracks from this album i think to myself 'i must talk about it', then forget. well... forget no more as the latest track is a gorgeous ballad (co-written by aussie conrad sewell) that showcases the 20 year old's maturing confidence in her vocal styles. i gotta say, i've been playing this a few times already!

but don't think I haven't been listening to birdy, for those following my carmix 2016, you'll be well versed in these lovely remixes of birdy tracks below (which i've been listening to more than the originals)

birdy - wild horses (matrix & futurebound remix)

birdy - keeping your head up (jonas blue remix)

birdy - wild horses (sam feldt remix)

WONGIE BALLAD OF THE WEEK: conrad sewell - start again

conrad sewell - start again
already a big hit back in australia, this lovely single was the track that got the singer/songwriter signed to the US and is officially released this week. it's just the perfect fall track with the right hint of ennui to get us through these chilly days. expect big things!

WONGIE DANCE SONG(s) OF THE WEEK: kygo feat conrad sewell - firestorm / seinabo sey - younger (kygo remix)

kygo feat conrad sewell - firestorm
after gaining major buzz remixing the seinabo sey smash 'younger' (see below), norwegian dj/producer kyrre gørvell-dahll (aka kygo) releases his debut single with this wonderfully chill house number with up and coming aussie soul pop singer/songwriter conrad sewell fronting the vocals. it's an insta-hit so get ready to be hearing this track (and the inevitable remixes) ALOT in the coming months. you have been warned!



seinabo sey - younger (kygo remix)
btw, this wonderful track by swedish future soul single seinabo sey has remained on my playlist for the past year and with this kygo remix, continued on to my carmix 2015 as a staple repeat track. just brilliant!
