Love anything B.J. The Chicago Kid related. As he prepares to release his forthcoming album, Pineapple Now-Laters, which will be available on iTunes on Valentine’s Day, we’re given a beautiful visual offering which is taken from Arev Manoukian’s Nuit Blanche (which coincidentally is used in Troy’s video down below)
Spotted this over at Fader and thought I’d share some new music with you guys 
Texas-born, LA-based songwriter/producer Antwoine “T-Wiz” Collins produced three songs on Frank Ocean’s Nostalgia, Ultra (“Love Crimes,””Dust” and “There Will Be Tears”). “Right Now,” the first song created for his solo debut as Troy NōKA, Free Dreaming, is a simultaneously urgent and pleasure-riding lover’s anthem that makes equal use of clean 808s, beefy guitar and orchestral polish. The video, above, samples a dreamy clip from Arev Manoukian’s Nuit Blanche. Both bear much promise for Free Dreaming, out this March. – The Fader

My latest obsession Ms. Ellie Goulding stops by Letterman to give us a lovely live rendition of her infectiously popular single Lights.
