With Me /  by E

       Cashmere Cat (production alias of Magnus August Hoiberg) produces song based on melodic arrangement, without the support of vocals, and they're gorgeous. His tracks keep from veering into the overly-popularized EDM genre by holding tight to some classic rules of music arrangement and he manages to create something that, while heavy with downbeats and full of percussion and hip-hop/pop influences, still manages to keep a romantic feel by allowing that piano melody to surface throughout the piece. 
       Check out his recently released music video, featuring the first track off his upcoming EP Wedding Bells (due for release February 10), "With Me", below for a simple video featuring one perfect kiss.

Underneath the Tree /  by E

       If Beyoncé came out with the most amazing surprise album of the year, Kelly Clarkson came out with the most amazing Christmas album of the year, because this last tree is being decorated with Wrapped in Red playing on loop and the rest of the baking playlists are going to be spotted with her tracks.

Winter Dreams (Brandon's Song) /  by E

       There's a lot of good music coming in right now and I'm going to get to it all and answer emails and all of that professional adult stuff (because there's actually quite a few that are most definitely going to join my personal playlist) but, for now, we should all just bask in the greatness of Kelly Clarkson's Christmas album.
       It's kind of great because her voice is awesome, she seems like a generally good person, and this song is kind of hard not to listen to twice (at least if you're getting as into the Christmas season as I am determined to this year]).

Crash & Burn /  by E

       Darling Parade released their second video in their Battle Scars & Broken Hearts series and, while the song is addictive, the video is fantastic. It picks up where the last video ("Ghost") left off and turns the lead character from a victim to a hero (which is awesome) complete with fast cars, fight scenes, and the promise of more amazing videos to come.
       Their music is great and Battle Scars & Broken Hearts was probably the best rock album featuring a female lead singer to come out this year, so pick up their debut album from iTunes now for fantastic rock riffs and amazing lyrics you have to sing-along with, then stay tuned to the band's Twitter, Facebook, and website for more great videos that are sure to come in this series.
