Jorja Smith - Blue Lights
From Walsall in the West Midlands, Jorja Smith is taking the internet by storm while she allegedly still holds down a job at Starbucks. Featuring a sample of Dizzee Rascal’s “Siren”, honest and personal lyrics as well as social commentary, “Blue Lights” has the British vocalist making her mark on 2016 very quickly.
The Chemical Brothers - Wide Open (feat. Beck)
Teaming up with Beck for the track “Wide Open” on last year’s Born in the Echoes, The Chemical Brothers have now released the collaboration with the american singer-songwriter as a single. The video for “Wide Open” includes a dancer performing in a warehouse as she undergoes a weird transformation.
The press release for the video reads:
"Dom&nic’s vision was to merge the mechanical and organic, having been inspired by procedural cellular structures; their VFX Team created a full CG model of the dancer, Sonoya Mizuno, comprising of 107 individual anatomic rigs, as well as bespoke tools to allow the seamless transformation which happens during the dance."
