Monthly Mix: November 2015

Ellie Goulding experiences Delirium

     
     
     Another Thanksgiving is in the books and it's time to look forward to the winter. The turkey and mashed potato feast wouldn't be officially complete without a side of piping hot new tunes.
     English pop singer Ellie Goulding is riding high due to her latest album Delirium [Nov 6, via Polydor Records]. The sixteen tracks are more focused on pop lyrics and less on electronics like her previous efforts. On the club banger "On My Mind" she showcases her voice over a dance hall worthy beat. Check out her tour as it dips through the United States, Canada, and the UK.
     As the days grow darker and colder its a good thing to know that the iPod is all warmed up with fresh cuts.

Monthly Mix: September 2014

Prince creates Art Official Age

     The summer has officially ended with a bang. Festival season is behind us, and the long journey of autumn lies ahead. As the days get shorter, it's nice to have a re-stocked iPod to enjoy the crisp nights.
     Minnesota's iconic rock god Prince is making new music again, and it comes in the form of the fresh album Art Official Age [September 30, via Warner Bros Records].  The timeless axe-man delivers the goods with this latest effort, blending in soul, R&B, and funk. The bouncy track "FUNKNROLL" is a playful number and features the full-studio treatment. The album has a refreshing sound, certainly not of the stale variety. Currently there are no tour dates in support.
     This month's mix features a boat-load full of buzzworthy rock music, not to mention a couple names from years past. It goes great with some headphones and the colorful fall trails.
