The beloved Majestic Casual, the renowed Youtube page that brings you an overwhelming amount of down-tempo, melodic, chill-out music, is announcing a new album series, that consists of the best tracks that've come across the new wave music spectrum.

Here's an excerpt from Majestic themselves:

"Music discovery has traditionally been dominated by DJ culture, a privileged group of individuals with the power to break records, artists and new scenes, and while that dominance still remains, today’s deeply connected digital world has led to the emergence of ‘bedroom tastemakers’, a growing band of YouTube channels and individuals with the power to influence millions. At the forefront is Majestic Casual, part of the elite league of YouTube music channels with over a million subscribers… And counting."

New Zealand’s Lorde (Ella Yelich-O'Connor) seems poised to become the Queen of Pop. She has won over critics, fans, billboard charts, and the admiration and respect of fellow artists, all by the age of 16.

Lorde combines expertly layered vocals on top of unique, yet familiar electronic beats that create a sound of future-pop that is quite alluring. She has stated that her influences include Fleetwood Mac, SBTRKT, Etta James, Burial, James Blake and The Weeknd, which compound beautifully to create the alternative electro-pop sound that she is now associated with. Producer and songwriter Joel Little is responsible for a lot of her sound, and was her main collaborator on her most recent project, The Love Club EP.
