Album Preview: Fat Freddy’s Drop – Dr Boondigga And The Big BW
Fat Freddy’s Drop – Big BW
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Even though New Zealand’s Fat Freddy’s Drop has been a huge success worldwide their presence has been largely absent in the United States, even among the underground scene. The group, led by the soulful vocals of Joe Dukie with their combination of big band, [...]
SXSW Preview: BLK JKS
BLK JKS – Lakeside
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
When many people think of Africa, the stereotypical images abound: tribal music, mud huts, grass skirts and conflict dominate our images of the continent. However, Africa has been leading the modern music revolution for a hot minute now, from the Afrobeat stylings of Fela Kuti, to [...]
VIDEO: Mavado – So Special
Already a superstar in his native Jamaica, Mavado is heading to the States real soon with his new album Mr. Brooks…A Better Tomorrow which hits stores in March. This track will be a big tune people. Be on the lookout of this dude at a dancehall near you.
VIDEO: K’Naan – Somalia
We’ve covered K’Naan pretty extensively here on The Couch Sessions for the past few years, and I’m glad that the dude is getting his much deserved shine. The Canadian/Somali MC’s newest album Troubadour drops next month and his newest track bearing the name of his mother country is rather timely considering the pirate situation going [...]
New Music: Asa – Jailer
From RadioMilwaukee.
Asa comes to us from Paris by the way of Lagos, Nigeria. Her music is a fusion of acoustic soul, African folk, R&B, and jazz. Her lyrics are often political, due to her upbringing, but have a dose of humor as well. Her song, “Jailer,” is one of the most potent and powerful songs [...]
Madlib Beat Konducta In India Video
Stone’s Throw just sent me the link for this promo video for Madlib’s Beat Konducta In India “Soundtrack” which releases on August 28th. I ususally don’t post promo videos, but whoever did this video gets mad props from me because they chopped up my favorite Bollywood Kollywood movies, Adhisaya Piravi. Most of y’all know the [...]
New M.I.A. – Hit That
M.I.A. – Hit That
“Galang,” “Sunshowers,” and “URAQT” are still my jams, and the girl’s live show is one of the best around, but my tolerance for M.I.A. has dropped threefold. “Hit That” is more tolerable than her first single “Bird Flu,” but I’m really only providing this as a public service cause this one’s [...]
Who the F*ck Is Dr Evil?
Dr. Evil – More Punanny + Marijuana
from ??? (Audio Not Safe for Work)
Late pass for me y’all. I was trolling the hard drive last night and came across these two tracks from Dr. Evil (not that Dr. Evil). Both from Lemon Red. Then I was listening to the Radioclit podcast and damn, Dr. Evil Again. [...]

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous
Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre. The eight year veteran has received terrific acclaim both stateside and abroad for his musically dense but pop trending melodies awakening a sense of early 80s synth pop sounds. However, with [...]
Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love
While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]
ALBUM REVIEW:Massive Attack “Heligoland”
Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
