Nujabes (Seba Jun) was working on his 3rd studio album following the massive success of Modal Soul. Unfortunately, he didn’t get to finish it as the angels came for him in 2010 after a terrible car accident. As such, this album was completed by those close to him. Even if you’re critical of every … Continue reading

Tiësto – Kaleidoscope.
Tiësto’s fourth studio album is April’s album of the month. This isn’t an April’s fool joke I assure you. His catchy tunes are back to reclaim his throne (despite the fact this was released in 2009). I’ve seen him live a couple times and he always delivers the goods. This album is no different. I … Continue reading
Hugh Laurie – Let Them Talk
March’s Album of the Month goes to the highly distinguished Hugh Laurie. I’ve loved watching him as an actor, from Blackadder to present day House. He’s a great actor, who would have known he’s also a soulful musician? It turns out in an interview with him, he mentioned that he’s always wanted to be a … Continue reading
Suede – Coming Up
February’s album of the month goes to a band I’ve been listening to as a kid. I have a pretty wide collection of music, and I tend to flip back to songs that feel nostalgic but relevant to current state of affairs. Coming Up is undoubtedly Suede’s gateway to international fame, with several singles reaching … Continue reading
Martin Solveig – Smash
Happy New Year everyone! We all need to “bust-a-move” to something good just to celebrate the good times ahead in 2013. I present to you SMASH by Parisian DJ Martin Solveig as the Album of the Month! These fun, hard hitting tunes would have you grooving all over the streets and trains. He isn’t just … Continue reading
Calvin Harris – 18 Months
There is no doubt who the artist of this month is. I’ve been waiting for this album to drop for a long while now, and it definitely does not disappoint. If you’re unfamiliar with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, I strongly suggest you get on YouTube and have a listen, you will find most of his … Continue reading
The XX – Coexist
The XX takes center stage once again with their latest album Coexist! It was an easy choice for November’s album of the month. This indie pop group has such a unique style to their music, it puts you in this almost meditative state. Where you start to reminisce of lifetimes past, relationships gone, friendships … Continue reading
Kanye West – Cruel Summer.
I know the past few months I’ve selected more indie/alternative musicians as the artist of the month. My musical tastes have great variety as you’re about to see. I’m not always current with the hip hop scene, in fact, I still listen to The Notorious B.I.G every so often. Kanye West‘s latest album, Cruel Summer, … Continue reading
Chairlift – Does You Inspire You.
Introducing Chairlift! September’s Album of the Month! Their album title might not sound grammatically correct, but this band has definitely got the beat in check. This Brooklyn duo has raised my eyebrows with their synthesized pop music. Its a difficult genre to explain, I’ll attempt to describe it. Their album “Does you inspire you” has … Continue reading
Chromatics – Kill For Love.
It’s August everyone! Time for a new album for the month! American electronic post punk band Chromatics have the spotlight with their latest album “Kill For Love”. The album was released on March 26 2012 with 16 beautiful tracks. This Oregon based band has a unique almost hypnotic style to their music that’s admittedly, rather … Continue reading
