It’d been a while since I had heard a song for the first time and within 15 seconds found myself saying “This is incredible. Who IS this??” The latest from Miguel, Simplethings, did exactly that.

After that last heartbroken note I feel compelled to give you something to get you moving again. Check out Kill Paris. I Do Love You has this build up that sort of coaxes you out of the fetal position, and then the beat drops and before you know it you’re all bobbing your head, shaking your shoulders, and bouncing whatever booty you got saying “You know what? Fuckit. It IS alright.” Kill Paris – I Do Love You
