We've been wondering WTF Missy has been since her blessing of a performance at the Superbowl earlier this year. This morning she graced us with her awesomeness by dropping a new video that reminds us why Missy is a #Girlboss. Are you ready for Missy's return? I think this video just prompted me to create a "yall musta forgot" post dedicated to Missy. Stay tuned and Happy Thursday!

As the internet world was in a frenzy yesterday waiting on Drake to release "Hotline Bling" , creating endless gifs and comparing D.R.A.M.'s first, "Cha Cha"; many missed the the release of new music from D.R.A.M., but don't worry I've got you covered. D.R.A.M. has teamed up with SZA and released an extended version of "Caretaker" and I'm loving it!
Based on a few tweets D.R.A.M. put out one would think the song comparisons are getting to him, but I think he knows his sound is hot after getting a nod from Beyonce earlier this summer and some reassurance via tweet from Erykah Badu
@ONLY1DRAM we loved Cha Cha first. Very unique and raw. That's That underground magic force that sparks a seed to grow a tree. . . Ms. badu
D.R.A.M is in the studio cooking up his next EP GAHDAMN! which is set to be released in 2016.
I'm really cheering for this guy and I can't wait to hear more new music from him soon.
Are you feeling D.R.A.M.? Check out his current EP #1EPICSUMMER and let me know what you think.

ELHAE, pronounced LA, serves as an acronym for, Every Life Has an Ending, is an Atlanta based artist that has made quite a name for himself (pun intended) on the blogs and internets. With this name making he has also created a consistent buzz with his single track releases for a while now and he's managed to cop and interview with Soultrain.com (read here) and a premier release from vice.com for his new EP "Aura". With a little help of google - the background info is all new news to me and all I know is Soundcloud is a godsend and with it's notifications I've been getting these 'Rap n B' tracks from the source.
If you've been tuning in to my weekly segment called #SaturdayMorningTunes you may have noticed this guy's name on a couple of tracks.
Check out his EP and if you want more updates give ELHAE Facebook follow.
Happy vibin',

Happy Saturday! It's #SaturdayMorningTunes day again and last week's edition (this is your cue to click here and listen) got a lot of positive responses! One in particular came from one of my blogger crushes, Tashira, of Politics and Fashion Blog.
This week my music taste has been giving the drummer some -- and by drummer I'm talking about some of the best producers in music. It all started with Lion Babe featuring one of J Dilla's tracks as their #trackoftheday on Spotify and from there my audio palate was set --searching for a particular sound that I can't describe. Here's some tracks that I've been vibin to. I hope that you enjoy them.
Happy listening!
xxo,

It's been exciting to see the world get into the trance of FKA twigs. Her videos are intricate visual conundrums that touches my inner inspector gadget. Whether it be the lyrics that I never seem to really hear until about the third time or the constant phallic visuals of her mouth juxtaposed with repetitive cuts of beautiful images of her in situational graphic circumstance that is some how not hard to digest because there is an element of familiarity. Recently she's dropped a video to her song titled "Pendulum" and all I could think about after watching it a third time was the works of Jean Paul Goude, click here for reference.
Check out the video below and enjoy your trance.

Having relationships with other bloggers is so important. So I must give a shout out to, fellow blogger, @M3llowYellow for reminding me to keep my ears to the streets and dropping New York's music duo Lion Babe into my iMessages with a simple, "Have you heard Lion Babe yet?"
Immediately I hit my two favorite places, SoundCloud and Spotify and I was put into a trance that only some of the best neo-soul artists could induce me to and buzzed through the crowd of New York after work commuters unbothered.
Lion Babe is a music duo our of New York that consists of lead singer Jillian Hervey (daughter of Vanessa Williams) and producer Lucas Goodman and I am really feeling what they are putting out.
After watching their Jungle Lady video, shared below, all I could think about was raspy notes waxed over basement buzzing wah-wahs and beats of Erykah Badu and J Dilla's magic on 'Didn't Cha Know' and I immediately added it to my playlist mix on Spotify.
Happy Listening!
xxo,
A.Gamine
