BB (Garupa de Moto Amarela) - 2026-01-05
Welcome to the first edition of BND in 2026. I hope the year is starting the way you intended and right now you're chilling on some exotic beach or looking at a fireplace in a nice winter chalet. We're going to start this year a bit eclectic but rather slow. This week we have some new names.
"BB (Garupa de Moto Amarela)" by Tim Bernardes is a perfect smooth, sunny intro into a new day. Tim is taking us on a gentle musical ride through the jungle of soft sounds full of ukuleles, violin and chimes. I have to thank my younger sister Olga for sending me this one. A true gem that instantly brings back memories of "Corcovado" by Astrud Gilberto.
Milio with his "Just Want" brings us into modern territory with his warm synths and electronic vocals. A truly innovative producer, Milio pushes beyond genre limits to capture the heart of each sound. His hardware-oriented approach has led to collaborations with Frank Wiedemann (Âme) and Nicola Cruz in the Willem II studios in Den Bosch.
Closing this week's selection is a magnificent track "The Bridge" by Jody Wisternoff and Sian Evans. This version is a revisit by Planet Of Souls. This feels like a cinematic piece of music that will leave you (I hope) in awe. Wonderful smooth strings combined with gentle pads and background vocals create an atmosphere of reflection and peace.
As always, have fun and stay safe!
