singedsunI'm still struggling a little. But I didn't want to let another weekend get completely away from me.
I watched the first Tank and the Bangas tiny desk concert two years ago and I was blown away by them. Their songs are like poetry, and this is an awkward thing to say maybe but they're not always very straightforward? But each song is a story if you listen to it in it's entirety and they're beautiful. This week was their first network television debut and this song is obviously more marketable than some of their others, but it's definitely got the same feel. If you even kind of like this one, I'd highly recommend checking out their other stuff - I can give recommendations for individual songs but honestly the two tiny desk concerts they've done are just as good.
I don't always keep up with Christine and the Queens new stuff, though I usually find her stuff really good when I do. But some of the shots from this video are just amazing. The song itself is also really fun, but really I got stuck on how much I love the choreography. It's so very expressive and freeing. There's a little something for everyone here.
And my week wouldn't be complete without a cover of some kind I don't think. So let me share this cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" by Lissie that I found. It's not new this week, just new to me, but oh my goodness, I love Lissie's voice. I remember first finding her off some Kid Cudi cover she did several years back and I've just loved everything she's done since then. I was so obsessed with a song of hers about two years ago that I ended up using it in a solo bellydance performance (a thing I didn't think I'd do again at that point, and haven't done again since). Anyway. If you like Fleetwood Mac, or Lissie, or just enjoy a good ballad, happy listening.
PS. Also if you're interested in some real wild visuals, check out the new Jennifer Lopez "Medicine" video that came out this week.
