William Bolton’s latest track “Change,” produced by himself, has an astounding message that’s definitely appropriate for America’s mixed responses to the election results. Bolton describes how he’s found a bright light within himself and how he’s reached a place of contentment and happiness within his own life. This song is a great reminder that change is possible and that it’s up to each of us to create positive energy within ourselves first before larger positive change can be made.
Denver producer STéLOUSE links up with B3SCI Records alum Nick Leng and his out-of-this-world vocal prowess for great new rhythm-driven track “Been So Long” for Casablanca Records.
The UK “Saltwater” hitmakers, Geowulf, follow-up their breakthrough with track of equivalent blissed-out brilliance. The beachy, dreamy number “Don’t Talk About You” sonically picks right up where “Saltwater” last left us, excelling through a tuneful surrealistic vibe long on great pop songwriting skill. Stream “Don’t Talk About You” below
The impressive “The First Thing You See” is the third entry in Northampton UK native Bruno Major’s 12 month release project. Fresh from a supporting stint for Lianne La Havas, the quickly rising Major draws from a creative palette of James Blake/Jamie Woon-styled electronic-aided eclecticism crossed with a deep internalization (very clear melodically on “The First Thing You See”) of melodic prime movers like Chet Baker and Ella Fitzgerald. We love “The First Thing You See” and we love Bruno Major. Listen.
A sublime and magnetic vocal, an evocative and transportive tranche of a production choices and instrumentation, and a run of melodies and tunefulness that is just wrecking to one’s central viscera (enough hyperbole for you?), Rodes Rollins’ “Young & Thriving” is some very very good dark pop. One of the best debut tracks of the year.
The slow emotive burn of “Golden Hour” is the latest from BK-based COTE. Fixed on a detached central whirl of quiet drums and heart-wringing harmonies “Golden Hour” shows of a further thoughtful and accomplished layer of COTE’s writing/artistry. Get interested in “Golden Hour” above and check out “London” from earlier this year which we loved too.
Out today on B3SCI Records is “Lack of Emotion” the new single from Swedish singer SKOTT. The disco-tinged “Lack of Emotion” is the follow-up to “Amelia” (also on B3). About the track, SKOTT had to say, ““Some people seem to have this off switch, where they can shut off their emotions when things become difficult. The song is about this shell people create – I’ve got this fascination and fear of it because I feel like I’m the complete opposite when it comes to emotions, I can’t deny how I feel. It’s a bit of a melancholic disco.” “Lack of Emotion” is available now digitally (in the US[& Chess Club Records in the UK]) at B3SCI Records.
Kultur is one of my all time favorite artists. This time, he’s teamed up with Jessel Alejo, a talented vocalist, and crafted the track, “Unravel.” From start to finish, this track is pure beauty. Enjoy.
The sweeping bass pop of “Test” is the latest from L.A. artist SARO. Reminding production-wise of Mura Masa with a hint melodically of Top 40 pop, the Robin Hannibal-produced (Rhye, Quadron, Jessie Ware) track hits a rewarding balance between cache and accessibility. Get introduced to SARO below with “Test”.
