Ego Trip/Freedom Fry

Ego Trip is a pleasant float down Wonka's chocolate river with a deceptively simple (and very effective) hook. Male/female duo.

First to Love/Maia Friedman

Maia's voice is very reminiscent of Astrud Gilberto. The production isn't terrible.

Jade Bonsai Garden/Andrew Gabbard

Gabbard makes the list two weeks in a row. His bass playing is really stellar on this. I'm pretty sure he's using a pick and it sounds great. I find I'm developing an automatic bias against tunes I can tell were produced in Ableton. Yes, I can tell. Fair warning.
