Scandinavia’s latest and greatest R&B export is Oslo export Bright. “Doing Things”, which we are very pleased to premiere at B3, is outfitted expertly with a Drake to Trey Songz melange of A+ hook-writing and US radio-ready production and arranging. A featured artist at this year By:Larm festival in Oslo, a #1 track on his home country’s Spotify viral chart and tour support for Nelly, Bright is most definitely on his way up. Spin the B3 Premiere of “Doing Things” below.
B3 are very pleased to announce “Just Let It / The Fall” the new AA-single from Brooklyn band Body Language on B3SCI Records. Hilly Dilly calls “Just Let It” a “brilliant indie-pop effort” and Stereogum says about new stream “The Fall” “They’ve dropped a bunch of good singles since 2013’s Grammar, and their latest, ‘The Fall,’ continues the streak. Dreamy synth layers balancing an airy shimmer and deep sustained bass are punctuated by booming drums.” The single which is available now at B3SCI Records on limited 7″ pink vinyl is out today.
