What I’m Listening To – 05/21/13

This week brings two highly anticipated album releases that are sure to have you tapping your toes for weeks to come – Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories and the Fast & Furious 6 Soundtrack.

Daft Punk’s fourth studio album is one of the most anticipated album of 2013, and it far exceeds the hype; Disco, Funk, and Rock with a human feel. Most of the instrumentation is real with Nile Rodgers’ scratchy funky guitars, and other guests like Pharrell Williams, Julian Casablancas, Paul Williams, Todd Edwards, Panda Bear, along with the legendary Giorgio Moroder.

This album takes you on an exhilarating ride, one of the best you’ll get this year. Notable tracks include Give Live Back to Music, Beyond, Contact, and of course Get Lucky.

One of the things that stood out for me when I watched Fast & Furious 6 last week was it’s soundtrack. The opening track We Open It by 2 Chainz instantly gets your blood pumping, and it’s clear sailing from there.

I’m not usually much of a soundtrack guy, but with a good mix of rap and electronica, this one really worked for me. Head over to iTunes and listen to the tracks for yourself!

That’s all for now.. If you’ve got any tunes that you think I’d like, send me an e-mail!
