Out today on B3SCI Records is “Salvation” the sophomore EP from Venice CA artist Evalyn.

The new EP examines track by track each of the seven deadly sins through the context of cult-consumption-driven modern culture in Los Angeles and beyond, an approach that Best Fit calls “a breezy euphoria at the intent of living life zealously.” More details about the EP can be found at B3SCI Records and you can stream EP tracks “Big Bad City” and “Crème de la Crème” below.
“Challenge” new from Lolo Zouai sounds as if its been ported straight from mixing board of Rodney Jerkins c. 1999. The patter of harp-sounding keys, the hushed breaks, “Challenge” is like a fresh unreleased cousin to “If You Had My Love” or “The Boy Is Mine”. Listen to “Challenge” below.
