[Video] Autre Ne Veut: "Counting"
Autre Ne Veut is one artist who has to be a little upset 2013 is coming to an end. The experimental 31-year-old R&B artist certainly got his shine this year, with widespread positive reviews for this year's release, Anxiety, which got the Pitchfork nod for Best New Music and a spot at their annual festival in Chicago and Gorilla vs. Bear named it their "Best Album of the Year, So Far" back in June. Finding himself atop many year-end lists, Ne Veut decided to celebrate by releasing this video for his song "Counting", shot for Yours Truly at the Driskill Hotel in Austin, Texas. The mixture of the pure beauty of the building, coinciding with the pure, unabashed emotion of Ne Veut, makes for one hell of a visual experience, and one that makes the song more poignant as well. Check out the video below.

[RH First Glance] Flume: "Space Cadet"
They must be putting something in the water Down Under. Australia has been funneling cutting edge and largely danceable music from it's isolated geographic location with increasing regularity in recent years, a trend that continues with Flume's latest track, "Space Cadet" off of a mixtape which will be released with the deluxe version of his self-titled debut album. EDM is a big flavor of the month for the Aussies, albeit with a different flare than their American and European counterparts. On this one, Flume enlists the help of legendary Ghostface Killah and experimental R&B crooner Autre Ne Veut for a two minute bubbling song of happiness and footwork that is set in motion by Flume's almost space-light beat and assorted claps. Check out the song below and keep it posted to RH for the latest on the up and coming young artist.
