“Grand Union” is primed to ‘double-take’, complete with a bridge worthy of The Bends era Radiohead and a melodic rock mix that’s as at home in 2013 as it would be in 2001. “Grand Union” is the new single from UK four piece Arthur Beatrice’s debut album expected 11/4 via OAR/Polydor Records. Get familiar.

We are loving the Dice Raw (The Roots)-produced new track from soulstress/songwriter Tess Henley. A bit different look for Ms. Henley from the sunny warm R&B sounds of “Daydreaming” that we featured a little while back, “Who Are You” is that cool, neatly harmonized minor-keyed soul that we go totally nuts for here at B3. Check “Who Are You” below and look for Tess Henley’s High Heels & Sneakers LP out now.

“All We Can” is new from Brighton UK artist Yumi and the Weather. The deeper tones of Yumi’s (real name Ruby Taylor) vocal as well as her melodic choices work quite well w/ “All We Can”‘s mid-tempo bounce. That, and the track’s nice blend of accessory instrumentals; including deep-in-the-verb XX-style guitars and kinetic horn lines. We’re into it Look for an EP also titled “All We Can” from Yumi and the Weather on 10/21.
