Romanticize/Chela

This '80s-style dance track has been on loop in my house all weekend. Her voice has that rare mix of power and abandon to complement one of the most catchy melodies I've heard in a long time.

Oracle/Michael Hedges

The flute lends a magical eastern touch to this glorious title track off Hedges' 1998 Grammy winning album.

Live With Me/Humble Pie

The slow groove makes the perfect playground for the bass, guitar, organ and vocals.

One Brown Mouse/Jethro Tull

Glorious vocal harmonies characterise this song off Jethro Tull's exquisitely produced album Heavy Horses (1978). Barlow's drumming is the icing on the cake.

Great Albums (Thinking In Textures/Chet Faker)

Year: 2012

The debut EP by Australian electronica artist Chet Faker, Thinking In Textures combines R&B inspired vocals with downtempo backing tracks to deliver thirty minutes of sheer groove-laden bliss. The melodies are catchy but not intrusive, and you can probably play the album on loop while going about your work.

Personal Picks: "No Diggity (cover)" and "Cigarettes And Chocolate"
