The artist, who belongs to the BIG MONEY GANG, seems to be quite generous as she recently shared a whole tape for free. This project, whose title is “A Good Night In The Ghetto”, notably features the song “Out The Bottle”, another catchy tune she made in collaboration with Zay (or Zay’M).

Nick Valentini Collective – Carousel
[su_dropcap style=”simple”]N[/su_dropcap]o need to listen to “Carousel” several times to detect the emotional and creative potential that is hidden behind Nick Valentini Collective‘s music. Indeed, with the video of their soul fulfilling new track, the experimental 8-piece band from Los Angeles easily play and switch between indie, folk, jazz and experimental psychedelic soul. By the way, they have been often dubbed as a “jazz fusion Radiohead”: a label they of course as a compliment even if they think their music should not be categorized.

It was for sure one of the best of 2015. Thus, covering the track was not an easy task to tempt but Goon Soul wanted yet to take it up.

BELGITUNES: Warhola
[su_dropcap style=”simple”]E[/su_dropcap]very Wednesday, we publish an article about an artist from Belgium that we should be proud of. This week, our calendar was totally upset with the terrible attacks that happened in Brussels. That is why we chose to highlight an Antwerp-based artist whose pop music is delivered in a heartening and electronic cocoon. Oliver Symons is only 22 but has already shown for more than a year his talent in solo through his musical project Warhola. The singer, songwriter and producer, who is also a member of the Belgian band Bazart, just released his debut “Aura EP”: a good opportunity to have a look at his musical universe.
