Sunday Night Soul [Vol. 16]

Good evening ninjas. It’s the first weekend of March, which means spring is right around the corner (although the snow outside my window would seem to indicate otherwise). Tonight also happens to be Oscars night, and since your favorite movie/actor/composer didn’t win that award you so desperately wanted them to (sorry again, Leo. There’s always next time), you’ll have to begin the healing/venting process somewhere (probably through Twitter). Well, we’ve  got the soundtrack for both transitions right here, with another excellent edition of Sunday Night Soul. This week’s lineup features some incredibly beautiful numbers from a multitude of talented artists. I know we say that just about every time, but efforts from Owl EyesGabriel Garzón MontanoSunni Colón, abhi//dijon, Olsen, Chiara, Saint Pepsi, Olivia Louise, Gene Noble, Black Atlasskuma, Beshken and Giraffage really struck a chord with us this week. Of course those weren’t the only ones we liked, so we’d suggest digging through immediately to figure out what your favorites are–trust us, it’s tougher than it sounds.

Sunday Night Soul (On a Monday) [Vol. 12]

Now that Super Bowl XLVIII is over and done with, Sunday’s are going to be a little less eventful for quite awhile. Luckily for you, you have Sunday Night Soul to look forward to in its absence. Yes, before we begin, we know it’s Monday. We apologize for the delay folks, but that game really drained us out (read: put us to sleep). As a fan who’s had his heart broken multiple times over, I sympathize with all the Broncos fans out there tonight. My only hope is that this week’s serving of soul can be the first step towards recovery for all of you (including many of my fellow ninjas).

This week’s edition is packed with plenty of surprises: with collaborations between Cashmere Cat and Ludacris, unlikely mashups of Justin Timberlake and Dpat, a spectacular cover of “Hold On, We’re Going Home” by Vancouver Sleep Clinic and GXNVXS, and a SevnthWonder trifecta, there’s plenty of treasure tucked away deep in tonight’s set. This may also be the best lineup we’ve ever assembled in terms of debuts. Twin Caverns, Niykee Heaton, Ego Ella May, Adna, Clare Maguire, Maurice, bizZarh, Rook Milo, Black Atlass, Neo Safari, Moody Good♡ EMOJI KING ♡ and i.o. all make worthy additions to the Sunday Night Soul family. Our veterans meanwhile seemed to have doubled their efforts this week, with MadeauxΔGØLDWYN , Fortune, Duncan Gerow, abstract youth and SevnthWonder all making multiple appearances. This is one of those weeks where we wish we could highlight each song individually, but unfortunately there isn’t enough time for that. Instead, we’ll leave the judgments up to you (although we’re fairly certain you’ll enjoy each and every single one of them).

Kelly‘s “Italian Hero Sandwich.” Of course we’ve got many other soulful offerings from artists like Marian Hill, Bedlam, DB2, Tink, Tinashe, and many more. Now before you get a case of the Mondays, make sure to deal yourself a proper dose of relaxation as you plug in your headphones, lay back and the let the music take its course.
