Today's Music Monday is brought to you by Procrastination and the fact that I should probably finish writing my four page paper on patriarchy in Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart. But alas, I'm writing about something that brings more joy to life - music.
Today was a good day in chocolate music. What exactly is chocolate music? Chocolate music is the term I give to music that seems to meld RnB with Alternative. Chocolate music is very reliant on vocals and also ranges, sonically, with a cappella. Chocolate music is the music you light candles and sit in a jacuzzi, full of bubbles, in the dark to. Let the soft flames and the darkness sooth you.
With that being said, this week's Music Monday is for Chocolate music, and some other good tunes to relax and chill to. In other words, this paper not getting done tonight.
1. Thirdstory - Hotline Bling (Drake Cover)
I found this today listening to Aquilo's "Better Off Without You" taken from their Human EP. Thirdstory features three amazing musicians who, together, make up a beautiful harmony. The nerves in my fingers tremble when I hear the song. It sounds like something I'd wake up to on a Saturday morning and start cleaning.

3. #1 Dads (feat Tom Snowdon) - Two Weeks (FKA Twigs Cover)
This song is an experience. Harmonizing vocals and soulful energy puts a brilliant, unexpected twist on one of FKA Twigs' most popular songs. Who knew a song about taking someone's man could be so majestic. It's like, "I'll take you from your girl" but dressed up in late 90s Vintage Givenchy.
