Yesterday, the wind was knocking over toddlers and the snow was slapping you in the face. Today, Mother Nature continues to be a cold-hearted, bone-chilling mistress.
Luckily, there’s music for that.
“Brain” Banks
Tell me her voice doesn’t give you shivers, I dare you.
“Vulnerable” Tinashe ft. Travi$ Scott
Travi$ Scott is one of the hottest producers right now and he teamed up with the emerging songstress Tinashe to make this addictive track.
“Or Nah” Ty DollaSign ft. Wiz Khalifa (The Weeknd remix)
Well, if Vulnerable was part A. This is part B.

“Salt Carousel” Evian Christ
But when you just need a strong beat and no over emotional lyrics, try this one. The beat is as disgusting as this weather.
“I Don’t Need Much” Sway Clarke II
Come on, his voice is better than Will Farrell’s in Step Brothers.

“Lessons” Sohn
His album comes out this year and it’s already being rumoured as one of the breakout hits of 2014. Don’t sleep on Sohn… or his beats… or his vocals… or, well you get it. Just listen.

“Talk About It” Erik Hassle
I want to talk about my obsession with this melodic masterpiece.

“Water Me” FKA twigs
FKA twigs is gaining a massive following in the UK which means she’ll be popular in North American in about a decade. Start using globalization to your advantage and learn about up and coming acts, especially FKA twigs or else you’re going to have to tell everyone you sing along to “Dark Horse” when it’s on the radio. To top it off, this video is also more captivating than Ryan Gosling’s abs in Crazy Stupid Love- not an easy feat.
The cold will soon pass, but in the meantime just listen to that bassline.
