Don't Sell Yourself to Fall in Love

These are the folders I organize my music into.

I don’t bother with genres, it would frustrate me too much to even categorize them into appropriate genres.

Mishoo The Drumkit - Hope (feat Mr Nnaji)

I try to live my own life / even though my mind is over-exposed / but I hope that I see the light at the end of the road

Song of the Day: Alif Tree - Never Be The Same

tell me what you want / I just want to do something there for you / everything is clear if we keep it real / I just wanna see your smile again…

One of the most impressive aspects I noticed while listening to your last album is stylistic variety… “Never Be The Same” seems to be not just a title of a song, but the key to describe this Clockwork, doesn’t it?

Yes. The whole album speaks about time. Bringing hopes, possibilities or fears. Time is always the key. And you know that if you don’t take it, it will take you. Movement, questioning, curiosity and surprises are the things I like the most in life and in human beings. I’m alergic to immobility, certainty and all that kind of small boxes that a part of the society would like to put us in. Musical styles and nicknames like trip hop or electro whatever are parts of it, and I naturally try to escape out of those….

Mayer Hawthorne interview (via telegraph.co.uk)

An unlikely assortment of famous fans has brought Mayer Hawthorne and his album A Strange Arrangement to the attention of the world. There’s rapper Snoop Dogg, who personally tracked him down to share his appreciation; there’s producer Mark Ronson, who surely admired Hawthorne’s take on the vintage soul sound which he and Amy Winehouse used to such good effect on Back To Black; then there’s Terry Wogan, who’s played single Your Easy Lovin’ Ain’t Pleasin’ Nothin’ on his breakfast show.
