I love Chauffeur...Theophilus, Ronson, Sparro

http://lifelounge.com/resources/IMGDETAIL/_Chauffeur_detail_image.jpg
I have absolutely fallen in love with the song "Soles of Fire." It was another one of the songs on Theophilus London's Diesel radio show/playlist. The beat is unique and everything about it catchy. It has a watering dripping sound to it and then about 3 other layers of music to it. Basically polyrythmns at their best. Each verse is hot and the chorus is great. Some have said it's a subliminal message to buy Ronson's  shoes for Gucci.
"Can't wear me down, I won't get tired, I've ran so far, my soles on fire."
The Chauffeurs are like a dream team for music. They include Theophilus London, Mark Ronson and Sam Sparro. The only name that isn't that well-known, at least to me, is Sparro. He is an Australian singer-songwriter and producer. But Ronson is basically a producer God and Theophilus is a big up-and-coming rapper/singer...if you want to call him that.
I've already heard one sample of it and I must say it was good. Probably going to hear more.
Take a listen.

Song of the Day:"BLINDFOLDED"

Everyone needs a little Theophilus in their life. This song is a part of his mixtape of MJ samples so it's pretty great. For some reason I like this song the most on this mixtape...I don't know why really. What do you think?

It's Been Awhile

Summer is basically over for me and that means now I can get back to this here blog. Here are a couple things I've fallen in love with recently, but if you can help me out with some new music that would be glorious. I don't have internet for awhile and I'm gonna need some good music to entertain me.
-Raphael Saadiq: The Way I See It. (album)
*I love his whole image as an artist. He has the old time feel of the Temptations and old time Motown, but he has a flair that you know he's from this time period. He has harmonies, snares, tambourines and glorious piano tunes. This isn't an album for partying or anything, it's just good for a chill time or maybe dancing around in your kitchen while cooking.
*Here are some samples of the songs:
- This one is pretty hot.
-You get to hear a different kind of Hov on this one. pretty interesting if you ask me.

-Matt & Kim: "Daylight"
This song was in a commercial awhile ago and then a friend reminded me of this song the other week. It has a way of making me happy. I think it's all the staccato piano notes. It reminds me of '90s music a lil too.


-Theophilus ft. Peter Hadar: "I Want U For Myself"
I love Theophilus right now. His rapping/singing is just so smooth and kind of seductive. This song is smooth and it sounds like it should be in Napolean Dynamite. The lyrics are pretty good to. Is that a cowbell I hear?? haha
