conner youngblood returns with a gorgeous mixtape/collection of songs

I’ve been a fan of Conner Youngblood since back in december 2010 when I first discovered his music. The singer-songwriter just released a new mixtape/collection of gorgeous songs called Sketches, Pt. 1 that he’s offering as a free download <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ue0rt8tsdj6o8qf&quot;here. The songs are ambient, soulful, delicate, no-musical-boundaries kinds of gems that stretch the notion of what a “singer-songwriter” is capable of. He’s got a wonderful reworking of Michael Jackson’s “WIll You Be There” on it, as well as the song “Monsters” which is a tune that introduced a lot of fans to his music. It’s great having this collection from him and look forward to hearing more, and soon. #realdeal

meet conner youngblood

the first thing you think of when you hear the songs of dallas singer songwriter conner youngblood is this guy. but his soft lilting falsetto aside, youngblood’s “voice” comes off like a dream pop ray of sunshine. These two new songs showcase a couple sides of the Yale student’s music. “Monsters” starts out with some warm lilting washes of keyboards before a menacing yet seductive synth line kicks in to give the song some punch on top of a pretty cool banjo riff. “Girl Hair” is all soft and tender and pastoral and floats along like little fluffy clouds of acoustica. It’s gorgeous. Comparisons? Anyone remember A.R. Kane?
