Funkadelic- Biological Speculation
Found this song last week while watching the film Afternoon Delight produced by Jill Solloway (creator of Amazon's Transparent). Have been listening to it on repeat ever since. Every time I hear it I can't help but start moving :)
Funkadelic is most widely recognized for their collaborations with George Clinton and their sister band Parliament due to a wider commercial success. Their music incorporates 70's disco with a smooth and funky soul flavor.
Sounds similar to: Parliament, Sly & The Family Stone
Happy listening :)

Madeline Peyroux- The Kind You Can't Afford
Madeline Peyroux, I first discovered this chick when my friend Chuck showed me her cover of Elliott Smith's "Between the Bars". A good Elliott Smith cover is pretty much a set of keys to my heart, especially since most of them are so sub-par its offensive. Anyways, never really delved deeper into her music until a few months later when I was on line at Starbucks and saw her name on the "Pick of the Week" card. Got to work that day and instantly added this song my to Spotify queue, I've been pretty much hooked ever since.
Madeline Peyroux is a singer, songwriter and guitarist from Athens, Georgia*. Although she has been performing since she was 15 years old, she has kept a relatively low profile. Her music is a funky jazz blues mix. It's that kind of easy listening that is good for first thing when you wake up in the morning.
*Unrelated fun fact for Real Housewives fans, Athens is also where both Nene Leakes & Phaedra Parks grew up.
Happy Listening :)
