Nas & Damien Marley – Patience

A collaboration between Jamaican reggae artist Damien Marley, and American rapper, Nas, the album Distant Relatives is unique. With 13 tracks and many featuring musicians, Patience is probably the best. Produced by Stephen Marley, the sound is quite intimately organic in its roots.

Chloroform – Phoenix

Directed by Sofia Coppola, this music video, albeit slightly dark, is a work of art, open to interpretation. The song itself is something else. With Phoenix making bigger waves in the international scene, it’s only a matter of time before the Frenchmen garner a large following in India.

The Seekers – The Last Thing On My Mind

Heavily influenced by Australian folk music, their 1960s hits are still popular today, with Georgy Girl probably being the most famous. A 1964 release, the music is as fresh as ever, with an epic pop vibe that is hard to dispel.
