My 5: Fortunes Share Their Top 5 RnB Tracks

Melbourne outfit Fortunes have been turning heads of late, and for good reason.

With their second EP titled ‘Jacket’ having just dropped – home to the massive single ‘Bomber’ they released a few weeks back – we thought we would get to know the guys a little better, and ask the tough questions.

The tough question; what are their top 5 RnB tracks?

Here is what they said:

We had a really hard time coming up with these. Let us say for the record that this is the tip of the iceberg. The longer we thought about it, the harder it became. So we decided to do a top 10 that all fit together on a set-the-mood-type playlist.

 BARNABY’S 5

JUSTIN BIEBER – HOLD TIGHT

I’ve never been a h8r on the Biebs, but I was never a true belieber until I heard Hold Tight. I was travelling through South America at the time, trying to mix our first EP and was chatting on Facebook to Conor – asking what he’d been listening to. Needed some fresh music for my tired ears. He had been thrashing Journals, and needless to say, after I heard Hold Tight, so was I.

LUTHER VANDROSS – NEVER TOO MUCH

I can NEVER listen to this song TOO MUCH.. You know it’s good when you do involuntary air drumming.

LISA FISCHER – HOW CAN I EASE THE PAIN

After I watched the 20 Feet From Stardom doco, I  started to try dig through all these incredible ex-back-up singer’s work. They are all amazing btw, but this track stood out to me. Lisa Fischer absolutely belts it, makes me feel all the feels. 

USHER – SEDUCTION

WHY NOT CONFESSIONS PT2 ?? Just when you thought he’d got it all off his chest… You Won’t Believe What Happens Next! The song equivalent of a clickbait slideshow.. A great slide show.. But Seduction is like a sophisticated, sexy think-piece.

D’ANGELO – UNTITLED

New album is great and everything but.. Have you seen the Untitled video? Also the dead-cut ending has always makes people think something is wrong with the aux chord.

CONOR’S 5

RZA – OH

Such a sexy one! My friend showed me this song at work back when we were allowed to pretty much dj song for song in the cafe and it would be the best vibe. Actually hate you sometimes Pandora radio. We both think it would be a really good lap dance song.

GABRIEL GARZON MONTANO – NAEJA

These are some of my favourite lyrics at the moment. They paint such an amazing picture. Its like a fairy tale with pocahonats in it. Pocahontas is my favourite, like I’d literally sing “Colours Of The Wind” out the car window to people cutting down pine trees for houses and stuff. One arm out the neck hole of my T-shirt too.

DESTINY’S CHILD – TSHIRT

I feel like this is something I would write, like maybe I’ll call our next EP “T-shirt”. Actually no, I need to stop. Maybz just a cover will do. Maybe Kelly and Michelle will be keen? They did get a lil shout out on Justin Bieber =)

D’ANGELO – SEND IT ON

I always put “Voodoo” on at work if I’m in a bad mood and i’ll always be sweet by the time it gets to “Send It On”. Also, Parris Goebel my fave dancer ever (besides you Mum, Indya Gibbs and Michael Jackson), does such a good one to this, like actually some of the smoothest, coolest, sexiest dance moves I’ve ever seen. I wanna try them on someone. Plus just always send it.

 DONNY HATHAWAY – SOMEDAY WE’LL ALL BE FREE

I would love to sing this at an “A Night For Donny Hathaway” show in a fancy theatre one day with an orchestra. Me and my housemate have been singing it real loud at home lately. I also put this on a yoga playlist for my Mum. It’d be so nice for yoga, right? Like on “free” you would stretch out a lil bit extra
