The What Music Are You Listening To Thread

New one from Michael Kinawuka's third album. Compared to earlier singles from this album it's less about the weird retro noises the backup singers make through their nasal filters, but lets the glorious strings fold out from an epic soul song.

@levi. its a little different, but something about that reminds me of Portishead.

Yeah, Portishead were towards the stringier side of trip-hop. They used more interesting chords and melodies than this, but some days a warm vocal in 4/4 and a major chord is all you need.

A decent cover of a Herbie Hancock classic, done without some of the arp-washes and some of the more noodly moog bits, but it gets the job done, and the intimate perspective of the drummer is always worth a watch.

And on the topic of covers, I didn't realise the first time I heard it that this was even a cover, but that's probably because I never heard half of the words on the original.
