Burt Bacharach’s melodies really were ingenious, and part of the magic was linking with Dionne who brought out the heart in them. Her ability to imbue those songs with such aching vulnerability and sweetness helped make his gifts undeniable.

Their catalog is immense and not everything works, but at their best— especially when exploring heartbreak and romantic loss— the songs can punch you right in the heart. Here’s my playlist of their most moving work.

Thee French Touch classic in a league with Daft Punk’s ‘Discovery,’ Roulé Records, and early Ed Banger. Kindred with Melbourne-based Avalanches. Precursor to vaporwave. The 2004 pre-bloghouse eternal. Back in print and solid as ever. 💫 https://smugglersway.ffm.to/uppercuts

Kate Bush, lover of the absurd and theatrical, has been gearing up in costume to perform quirky songs on British television her entire adult life. It honestly tracks she might show up dressed as an otter singing the theme from 'Baywatch' on 'The Masked Singer UK.' That voice is unmistakable. https://youtu.be/P4OX-lDIyvs
