Here's a song I first heard a couple of years ago. It's one of those sort of chill songs that has such a melancholic feel that I'm drawn to it whenever I'm sad. Lately it just feels like there's not much good out there, so yeah! Here's Song For Zula...
Cigarettes After Sex is an El Paso, Texas-based band and their music is ambient, chill, and very good. Here's a typically relaxing track off of their second album, Cry. Check out Touch...

There's a reason it's taken e so long to post Katy Perry's new single. Normally Ms. Perry puts out stellar, easy to learn pure pop sugar. This one, not so much. That being said, the tune has creeped into my consciousness and is more a nice chill vibe than a pop smash. Check out Harleys In Hawaii...
Posting a song like this reinforces my doing this blog, as I love to share great music that you might not really catch anywhere else. Big Wild is an artist with a gift for catchy, groovy, and little dance/chill vibe up in there. No Words was not a single of his album, Superdream, but it is one great song. It's very chill, very toe-tappy, and the crescendo is downright spiritual! Here's No Words...
If you're a fan of Orange Is the New Black on Netflix, you may recognize the voice of Regina Spektor, who sings the theme song to the show, You're Got Time. Well, here's another song by the soft-voiced singer that is just so pleasing to the ears. It's a perfect backdrop to coffee and conversation, relaxing at home, and just being happy. Check out Fidelity...
I posted this one a couple of months ago, and I've grown to like it more and more ever since, especially since I added it to a Spotify playlist I call Folksy-Guitarsy-Pianoey and another called Coffee House. Wierd, right? I know, but it fits the mood. The song is so chill, I feel like I'm in a coffee house in Seattle just chilling in the corner, watching all the people go by. Here's Cigarettes...
One day before the official first day of fall we have summer befitting midsummer. Well, here's a sunshiney chill jam by POWERS and The Knocks that is very befitting this beautiful day. Here's Sunshine...

It's been way too long, but after an almost six-year hiatus, Dido is back! And to top it off, she's still got it. With this infectious single done in classic Dido style, with pulsing rhythms and her oh so soft, mesmerizing vocals, it's almost as if she never left. Check out the awesome Take You Home...
Panamanian indie artist Cienfue has got a new song out and it is fresh. Written as an ode to the art of surfing, the tropical vibe of Sunset Sesh has quite an appealing, chill sound. A lil Carlos Santana-ish, maybe> Check it out...
I'll be heading to Europe later this week and for the rest of my days here posting, I'm going to try and post some stuff with at least a European flavor. I wanted to start with a French song, but couldn't find one I was excited enough to with to post, and then I found this. Claudion is a beautiful, sophisticated synth-pop song that I added to my collection a long, long time ago. It's from Montreal-based singer Helena Deland and the title sounds like it could be French (though it's Latin). It's part of my Chillaxing playlist and every time I come to it, I have to remind myself to listen more. Here's Claudion...
I'm not really sure whether I'd ever even heard of Vampire Weekend earlier than like a month ago, but they're one of my newest favorite acts. Just a coupe of weeks back I posted their great Harmony Hall, and now this newer song's gaining quite the buzz. Check out the smooth, cool Sunflower...
Former X-Factor contestant Bea Miller teams up with Grammy-nominated rapper 6LACK on this infectious, R&B track. This one's very smooth! Check out It's Not U It's Me...
