I don’t want to spoil the twist in the breathtaking video for George “joji” Miller’s new single “Slow Dancing in the Dark” but just let me say it’s a sublime surprise that falls right in line with the dark and bloody but whimsically beautiful imagery that has become a hallmark[…]
It’s already a viral hit so I don’t feel like I’m telling you about anything you didn’t already know when I say Los Angeles based singer, rapper, and producer Dumisani “Doja Cat” Dlamini’s “Mooo!” is the song of the Summer. The production, comprised of a jazzy sample flittering over Bounce-inspired drum[…]
Kālī is a Tantric Goddess of creation, destruction, love, sex, life, and death. Kali Uchis’ newest video is for a stripped down harp and keyboard backed version of her tune “Dead to Me”. It’s super sexy but totally about wishing someone dead. That’s motherfucking Tantra. “Dead to Me” is from[…]
I added “Delete Delete” by Beyoncé and Run the Jewels collaborator Jordan Asher “BOOTS” Cruz to my Spotify workplace playlist when it was released a couple of weeks ago and promptly forgot it existed. Then, last night, it dropped in the middle of a twelve hour graveyard shift and made[…]
I love all of of Montreal’s music. But there’s always at least one song, if not a handful of them, from every one of their albums that really speaks to me. “Plateau Phase/No Careerism No Corruption” is definitely one of those songs. Yeah, it’s ear-catching with its blend of booming[…]
“Will He”, a piano-fueled Trip-Hop meets Trap slow jam from YouTube personality turned musician George “joji” Miller, was easily one of 2017’s most memorable tracks for me. So you can imagine I’m quite pleased that Canadian beatmaker Ryan Hemsworth has delivered a fresh remix that not only extends the tune’s[…]
Columbian/American soulful Pop chanteuse Kali Uchis enlists the assistance of Canadian Jazz band BADBADNOTGOOD, pioneering Funk bassist Bootsy Collins, and frequent collaborator Tyler, The Creator on her new single “After the Storm”. “After the Storm”, which comes off as a bit of an answer to the faux Bootsyisms of Childish[…]
The video for joji’s “Window” may be the most ambitious video so far from what may be my favorite record of last year but I’m not sure it tonally matches the music as well as some of the other clips he’s released. It sure is weird, and a little bloody,[…]
The visuals for Youtube personality turned troubadour joji’s “Demons” are simple but elegant and appropriately melancholy. “Demons” is the second single from joji’s outstanding debut EP ‘In Tongues’ which is out now via 88rising. joji
After my blockbuster return to the exercise of occult eisegesis of popular music throughout the month of October it was only a matter of time before I felt comfortable dropping a Monday Magick column about a song that I have a personal affinity for aesthetically but whose occult bona fides[…]
Returning to the routine of pumping out a new Monday Magick post every week over the last month has been rewarding. And I’m especially happy I was able to do it during the month of October. It took afew weeks of getting back into the swing of things, but as[…]
Speaking of weird, sorta depressing pseudo R&B slow-jam shit, “Will He”, a piano and 808 kick drum driven slapper from joji, a.k.a. George Miller, the Japanese-Australian YouTube personality behind Filthy Frank and Pink Guy, is kinda ruling my sad boy ass right now. The video, which features buckets of blood[…]
