Imagine being today years old, finding out from MBE that The Fugees classic “Ready or Not” samples Enya’s “Boadicea.” If that’s not a reminder to keep striving to learn something new everyday, we don’t know what is.
And fun with samples isn’t all that’s on today’s syllabus. Tune in for “Oral,” the stirring new collaboration from Björk and ROSALÍA, UK electro-soul-experimenter Skinshape teaming up with Andy Platts of Mamas Gun on “The Longest Shadow,” and the jaunty avant-pop of UK duo Dirty Nice from their freshly released sophomore album Surrenderland. Craving some extra credit? Read up on Enya’s spectacularly reclusive living arrangements.
