One of the greatest voices our generation Ray Lamontagne has resurfaced with his backing band, The Pariah Dogs. Now we know Ray is all sorts of famous or on the verge of at least, but this beautiful track “New York City Is Killing Me” from his new album “God Willin’ & The Creek Don’t Rise” simply couldn’t go without posting. An incredible song and quite fitting for the day we’re having at the moment.

Cee-Lo| Fuck You [Audio]

// August 23rd, 2010 // No Comments » // Listening Section

When we look back at the year of 2010 there will be two songs that have hands down been the most played tunes here at the cafe, Cee-Lo’s latest single ‘Fuck You’ will be one of them. Yes we know this song has been all over the internets since it’s release last week but we’re just getting around to posting it. Can’t blame Mr. Green for creating such a brilliant track, although his timing was off, had this been last year there’s a certain someone who may have gotten the Say Anything treatment boom box style at high volume. Post break-up tune of the decade if you ask us. Ladykiller will see daylight soon.

Cee-Lo- Fuck You

Kindness| ‘Gee Up’ [Audio]

// August 19th, 2010 // No Comments » // Listening Section

Kindness is what we’d envision a younger David Bryne would be sounding like in the current downtown New York scene, well at least with this funky little number “Gee Up,” which is currently in heavy rotation here at the cafe. Get your freebie below, another track that makes the last weeks of Summer so much better.

Bilal| ‘Think It Over’ (Acoustic Version) [Video]

// August 19th, 2010 // No Comments » // Video

While we’ve basically waited close to a full decade for new material from Bilal Oliver this exceptional version of “Think It Over” should hold us stans steady until his September 14th release of ‘Airtight’s Revenge‘ and maybe just maybe we can finally forgive Universal for the “Love For Sale” debacle. Simply amazing vocal control, enjoy the visuals above.
