SHREM'S DOUBLE TROUBLE: "TO LOSE (Kill J Remix)" /// "NEED U" - Oceaán

Oceaán, my latest obsession among male vocalists and James Blake's most natural competitor in the vocal acrobatics category is back with his first single "To Lose" remixed by another one of our favourite newcomers Danish duo Kill J. They've accomplished a truly inspirational version of the song without losing its initial magic. As I return to Oceaán's debut EP quite a lot these days I thought it'd be nice to spread some love about another track by this talented singer, "Need U".





The emotional "To Lose" now also has an official video:

CHOON OF THE DAY: "PHOENIX" - Kill J

Ok so what we know about the mysterious Kill J so far is as follows. She's Danish. She has the most unusual haircut since Jay Jay Johanson in his "Antenna" hey-days. She has a "one in a million" kind of voice with a goosebumps-causing vibrato. Her first song "Phoenix" sounds like the most sophisticated, the most subtle and the most intriguing 3 minutes of music released so far during this magnificently fruitful year that is 2013.
