I've been in a music rut lately but I came across this Lauryn Hill song on YouTube and had to share. I'm quite sure it's new, as I've never heard of it before but she's still got it, great melody, beat and lyrics; it's on repeat everyday. Right now she is rumored to be working on a new album. Check out Repercussions.

Crystal Castles (II)
The second album by this punk/electronica band was released on April 19 due to some leaked tracks and early demand. In my opinion, there's only 2 songs that stand-out but they are addictive. Listen to Suffocation and Celestica.

Dream pop beats that are catchy but must be in the mood for.
Listen to Shelter (original and the remix) and Crystalised and Islands.
