Michelle Gurevich
First Six Months of Love
A slow, smoky synth ballad in which Michelle Gurevich's deadpan contralto toasts the giddy first months of a romance while already hearing the ending coming.
Hindi Zahra
Beautiful Tango (Remastered Version)
Hindi Zahra's smoky voice glides over a lilting, desert-blues guitar and soft percussion in Beautiful Tango, a slow dance of a song that sounds like dusk in a small room.
Asaf Avidan & the Mojos
Reckoning Song
A cracked, ageless voice over a few acoustic chords: the original Reckoning Song from 2008 is a campfire confession about growing old, four years before Wankelmut's remix turned it into a European number one.
Mélissa Laveaux
Needle in the Hay
Mélissa Laveaux, a Montreal-born singer-songwriter of Haitian descent, recasts Elliott Smith's bleak 1995 song for percussive finger-style guitar, double bass, claps and drums on her 2008 album Camphor & Copper.
Michelle Gurevich
Party Girl
'Party Girl' is the home-recorded title song of Michelle Gurevich's 2007 debut, made under the name Chinawoman: a slow, deadpan contralto ballad about nightlife that became her best-known song and gave its title to a Cannes-winning film.
Feist
My Moon My Man
The first single from Feist's The Reminder (2007), co-written and produced with Chilly Gonzales: a sly, piano-led indie pop song about love and longing, danced through an empty airport at night in Patrick Daughters' video.
