Wings

Every few years London spits out some female rappers. The latest one is Little Simz a 21 years old musician, artist and singer. She released her first full length record a few week ago on her own label AGE: 101 music. On this song (produced by the Berlin located DJ IAmNobodi) she sings without point and comma over a jazzy intro about herself. Like Azaelia Banks she's able to switch between rapping and singing in one song. Nice stuff.

A few days ago some newspaper recommended the latest video by Devon Welch aka Majical Cloudz a Canadian artist who released his second record these days. I watched this video and I was fascinated. Not by the music that sounds too much like Coldplay for me ears and the embedded weepy voice. One could come along funnily about Welsh, the Canadian with the close-cropped head, the striking eyebrows and the piercing, intensive look with which he pulls his audience mostly from the stage in his spell. This look, this easily manic and obsessive also spreads to the listener. What this song makes great for a Sunday morning is the spherical ambient beat by a drum-computer in contrast to Welch's voice. Nothing you say will ever be wrong / Cause it just feels good being in your arms
