Lil Dicky - Penith

Experimental hip hop producer Flying Lotus surprised his fans on Wednesday with seven new tracks uploaded to his SoundCloud. Flying Lotus has not released a full-length musical project since his acclaimed 2014 album You’re Dead. His horror movie Kuso, which he directed, wrote and contributed music to, premiered at Sundance in 2017 and has become infamous for being one of the most disgusting movies ever made.

Six of these latest tracks are taken from his soundtrack for the short film Blade Runner Black Out 2022. The last one, “Choo Choo,” is an outtake from the recently released thriller Perfect. Listening to these tracks it’s easy to tell that they were written as a part of a film score, but there are hints of Flying Lotus’ signature style interspersed throughout.

March 9, 2018New Trackstheneedledrop1 Comment

“Flower of the Universe” is British soul singer Sade’s first new release since her 2010 album Soldier of Love. The song was written for the A Wrinkle in Time OST, which also features contributions from the likes of DJ Khaled, Sia, and Kehlani. A remix of the song by legendary producer No I.D. was also released.

The original version of the song features piano, plucked guitar, and orchestral elements accompanying Sade’s beautiful layered vocals. For the remix, No I.D. puts the preexisting instrumentation and background vocals lower in the mix, and adds slow, steady percussion in his signature tight, crisp style.
