I don't know how it feels
Cause I don't live in your part of the world
I know it's not ideal 
Oh but nothing is forever my girl

See I'm a dreamer
Oh for love it is all in the name
I'm a believer
You may be far away, but you're thinking the same

I close my eyes and I picture us together
I hope you know
That I'll be waiting here for you my love
On this New York City coast
I close my eyes and I picture us together
I hope you know
That I'll be waiting here for you my love
On this New York City coast

Cause you're the real deal
You're worth every bit as much as you know
Delivered, signed and sealed
I will get there girl albeit it slow

And I'm a dreamer
Yeah for love it is all in the name
I'm a believer
You may be far away, but we're thinking the same

I close my eyes and I picture us together
I hope you know
That I'll be waiting here for you my love
On this New York City coast
I close my eyes and I picture us together
I hope you know
That I'll be waiting here for you my love
On this New York City coast

I'll be waiting here for you

Oh and it might take all night
But we're only one flight
Away from each other
I'm coming for you, hold on tight

I close my eyes and I picture us together
I hope you know
That I'll be waiting here for you my love
On this New York City coast
I close my eyes and I picture us together
I hope that you know
That I'll be waiting here for you my love
On this New York City coast

I'll be waiting here for you

Coastal Love

from the upcoming album Oddisee "The Good Fight" (5/5)
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-good-fight/id969829649

In a landscape overrun with abstract indulgence and shallow trend-chasers, the Prince George’s County, Maryland artist Oddisee has created 'The Good Fight', a record that reminds you that it’s music before it’s hip-hop. Due May 5th on Mello Music Group, it’s for the fans and for himself. It finds the musical heavyweight balancing between craft, career, and successfully growing into the world around him. Stream the first single, "That's Love".

Album Description:
Oddisee makes music that rattles in your bone marrow. It’s imbued with love, honesty, and selflessness. It’s virtuosic in its musicality, direct in its language, and infinitely relatable.
 
In a landscape overrun with abstract indulgence and shallowtrend-chasers, the Prince George’s County, Maryland artist has created “The Good Fight,” a record that reminds you that it’s music before it’s hip-hop. Released on Mello Music Group, it’s for the fans and for himself. It finds the musical heavyweight balancing between craft, career, and successfully growing into the world around him.
 
For Oddisee, “The Good Fight” is about living fully as a musician without succumbing to the traps of hedonism, avarice, and materialism. It’s about not selling out and shilling for a paycheck, while still being aware that this is a business requiring compromise and collaboration.
 
It’s music that yields an intangible feeling: the sacral sound of an organ whine, brass horns, or a cymbal crash. It’s not necessarily the syllables, but rather what they evoke. A song like “That’s Love” is more than a declaration; it’s a meditation on our capacity to love and the bonds binding us together. Ambition and greed war with our sense of propriety. “Contradiction’s Maze” offers a list of paradoxes we all face (“I want to tell the truth when it hurts/but when it comes to me, I want the blow softened.”)
 
Oddisee’s production simmers in its own orchestral gumbo. You sense he’s really a jazzman in different form, inhabiting the spirit of Roy Ayers and other past greats.  The Fader’s compared him to a musical MC Escher, calling hailing his “grandiose and symphonic sound” and “relevant relatable messages.” Pitchfork praised his “eclectic soulful boom-bap.”
 
“The Good Fight” acknowledges the stacked odds, but refuses to submit.
 
It’s both universal and personal. The child of a Sudanese immigrant highlights the rigors of his own upbringing: his pregnant mother working the register until she was about to burst, his pops’ shuttered diner that couldn’t survive Reaganomics—the one that Oddisee drives past every time he returns home, just to remind him how quickly the world can turn bad.
 
It’s these minor details that add into something major. It’s testament to the indelible nature of art: when you can turn what you love into something that lasts.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - “Can’t Keep Checking My Phone” from ‘Multi-Love’ out May 26th, 2015 on Jagjaguwar

Lyrics:
Aurora Borealis, me for her for real it’s lust
The love can’t be heard above
Everyone acts like a day drinker (yeah)

We eat crickets 
In the future
Just tastes like 
“Far-from-home”
Drink Chicha
In the Jungle
That sounds great
Im kinda busy, could you call back again?
Im sure you’ll come back
Til then I

Can’t keep checking my phone (no)

We read the universe might be holographic
Traffic lights might reverse my love
Go ahead and traverse the winter (yeah)

We eat crickets 
In the future
Just tastes like 
“Far-from-home”
Drink Chicha
In the Jungle
That sounds great
Im kinda busy, could you call back again?
Im sure you’ll come back
Til then I

Can’t keep checking my phone (no)
