We woke up yesterday to something wondrous. No, it wasn't that Jaden and Willow Smith interview; it was the news that Giorgio Moroder would be releasing a new solo album after more than 30 years. It's not like he's been away for that long, but we have to wonder how he'd feel about today's electronic/beats-dominated landscape. Based on this week's playlist, we're guessing the answer is "pleased and mustachioed." There's a stellar cover from Janine and the Mixtape, an equally Nick Catchdubs remix of Dej Loaf's inescapable "Try Me," and a track off of E-40's forthcoming double album that we haven't been able to take off repeat for a week now. And that's just 30 percent of the week's offerings!
As usual, we’ve added the tracks to our ongoing Spotify playlist of great new music, and created a standalone playlist (below). Keep the recommendations coming.
