This morning, we are delighted to welcome SAAVAN for this harmonized episode composed of delightful tracks full of pulsating spring energy.

Listening to SAAVAN’s “Running Short” is sure to give you strength for seizing the wholeness of the day. As we are calmly reminded that time is precious, this reflective and mesmerizing song will gently draw you into a climate of elation. Keep your awareness alive as you welcome the richness of the today’s given sounds and let them feed you, hold you and possibly even change you.

SAAVAN’s selections

Crayon - After the Tone (ft. Lossapardo)

SAAVAN: This minimalist but impactful song is a collaboration between two french artists I really appreciate. Lossapardo also makes wonderful paintings that always take me to melancholic places just like this song.

Still Pigeon - Tippy Toes

SAAVAN: A song tailored for a post-party Sunday morning…”Slip into my world, you’ll land on soft pillows”. I’ve discovered this song a month ago and I’ve been singing to it almost every morning since. Still Pigeon is a student band from London. I love the intimate touch of their sound mixed with softly spoken lyrics, warm guitar tones and the last saxophone part is a perfect way to end it.

J Lloyd - Stay Home With Me

SAAVAN: This short piece by J. Lloyd, an artist from London, seems perfect for a cold Sunday morning… Those frozen mornings when the rain seems to whisper “stay home”. The haunting and fragile melody just makes you float.

MailTape’s selection

SAAVAN - Running Short

ImaCrea: A perfect dreamy pop soundscape by this great duo coming from the north of France. We can hear influences from Weval, Rival Console, The Blaze, and The XX. A cinematic track to put in your playlist for your next road trip. Don’t miss their debut album, Chapters, to be released next month.

Maria Chiara Argirò - Greenarp

ImaCrea: I love what’s going on in this hypnotizing track. Not sure though how to describe it. If you read these lines, here’s my invitation: write in the comment section how you’d describe it. I’m very interested in reading it.

1981 Tokyo - Frontin’ (Amapiano Edit)

ImaCrea: This one inspires me to a cocktail made with strawberries and apple cider. I know it’s Sunday morning but this sound is irresistible. Amapiano mixed with a classy loungesque RnB vibe. Put on your sunglasses and let’s go outside for a walk.

Noname - Rainforest

ImaCrea: A love song for the revolution.

That’s all for this morning! Our many thanks to SAAVAN for their smooth Sunday selection. Many thanks to Meriam for her surreal and poetic painting!
