Camille's Best of 2012

  

Sorry. I've been slow on the music front, but better late than never, eh?

• Frank Ocean - Channel Orange -  kinda 'nuff said. Last year from summer onwards belonged to this dude.
  
• Jessie Ware - Devotion -  understated and beautiful. I think she is gonna catch her stride stateside this year, but I was up on her from last year due to that excellent Disclosure remix. While not on the album, Valentine, her 2011 track with SBTRKT collaborator Sampha (who I LOVE!) has been on heavy rotation round these parts as of late.  
• Jack White - Blunderbuss - surprised this didn't get more accolades. I literally had difficulty turning it off for much of the year. Rocks super hard!
  
• Santigold - Master of My Make Believe - this album got in by a hair. There is something about Santi that I find to be...I don't want to say false...but hmm, I feel like she is holding back in a lot of ways. I hope her best is yet to come, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't listen to this album a fair amount over the past year.

Inc. - The Place / 5 Days

Two new big tunes from LA group, Inc. Don't know much about these guys aside from their EP, with the excellent "Swear" that dropped last year. Looking forward to their upcoming full LP (which I believe these cuts are from) to drop early next year.

Mixed and Remixed Well

Recently digging two tracks that have gorgeous originals and remixes that both stand alone as their own unique tracks.
The first one is Jessie Ware's Running (which we already posted about a few months back)

Original Remix (by Disclosure)

The second is Chances by Alpines

Original Remix (by Cyril Hahn)
To whoever says there is no good music being released these days, well, I just have no words for you. I'm too busy being overwhelmed by all the incredible talent out there. Open up ya ears.
