benzel & jessie ware: if you love me.

This video features the lovely soul singer from London, Jessie Ware, taking on the 90s song "If You Love Me" by Brownstone. It's spinned & reproduced by 15 year old Umi Takahashi & 16 year old Yoko Watanabe. This brilliant Osaka duo met on a an online message board about ankle socks (who doesn't these days) and bonded over their love for 90s R&B. The video is directed by Kate Moross, who gives a colorful & soothing touch to the new version. I dig.

music video: i will wait, mumford & sons.

Mumford & Sons fan or not, you can't deny that the energy in their new music video for their most recent single, "I Will Wait", is amazing. These boys play with such passion you think they might strum the strings right off of their instruments. The energy is infectious through a computer screen, so I can only begin to imagine how incredible it was to have witnessed it in person. There is even a part where Marcus, the lead vocalist, pulls back from his mic to take it all in. IT'S SO GOOD. I haven't seen a live Red Rocks performance yet, but a select few of my most favorite live albums were recorded there so it's definitely on my bucket list. Push play & enjoy!
