Blackbird Blackbird – Happy With You

Blackbird Blackbird delivers maybe his strongest track yet with “Happy With You”. A bit more conventional to traditional pop songwriting structures, the new track adeptly mixes some neat synth atmospheres, great counterrhythmic programming and smart melodic elements and bends them through that new structural focus to deliver a most excellent song.

Theophilus London – Golden (Prod. by Twin Shadow)

Theo keeps heading down the road of an outside-the-box head space with this new Twin Shadow produced track from his forthcoming Rose Island release. The new collab “Golden” yields as much new wave, coastal beach vibes as it does hip-hop r&b. (PS – you know somewhere down the line there had to be some discussion about adding a steel drum somewhere on this track.)
