Two b3sci faves connect as KC soul crooner Miles Bonny jumps on new production from West Coast artist B.Lewis. “Bottom To Top” is a 3:24 full submersion experience in that futuristic soul. B.Lewis’ spacey but warm production layers form the perfect bed for Miles’ float-on-top-the-mix vocal tones. Spin “Bottom To Top” below.

UK soulstress Delilah’s just released 2-4 am mixtape is fire. Our pick from the smoothed out set is the cool, organ and reverb-soaked “Love Drug”. Imagine Esthero’s sound (love you Esthero!) 10 years more modern and you’ve sort of got a reference for Delilah. Get a sample below.

The funk soul brother Sam Sparro readies a strong return with “Happiness”, the lead single from his upcoming Return to Paradise LP. An upbeat piano-driven tune, “Happiness” abily throws back to the slick funky dance pop of the early 90’s. Expect a full single release soon with remixes from Beni, The Magician and more. (HCM)

Scottish R&B songstress Yasmin let loose today to her fans this sharp new Diplo-produced demo “Takes 1 2 Know 1”. The song is Co-written by 90’s R&B star and collaborator on Switch’s great “I Still Love You” track from last year the awesome Andrea Martin (!). Between that Usher “Climax” track and that massive “Express Yourself” heater Diplo’s kind of had something of a week and “Takes 1 2 Know 1” is an excellent bit of punctuation to it.

We are totally in love. Sade’s our girl, we wouldn’t use a comparison like this lightly, but Jessie Ware just went Sade-level on new track “Running”. All the talent/potential surrounding Ms. Ware up until now has been fully focused into and realised on this new track. “Running” is Jessie Ware’s breakout moment.

Yung Berg protege Mia Rey drops a potential radio bomb with new track “Making Love”. With the right push/promo, “Making Love” is totally a hit on Hot R&B radio (& shit like 106 & Park). All the major playlist relevant ingredients are there: a sharp keys-on-the-one driven beat, subtle electronic elements, a GREAT chorus hook and melody, etc. Get on the Mia Rey train below.

The always fly Tony Williams has come through with the full version of “Another You”, his collaboration with longtime friend Kanye West. A snippet of the track appeared on Williams’ Some of My Best Friends Are Rappers mixtape. This final version is slated for inclusion on TW’s upcoming King or The Fool LP. “Another You” is that feel good, sunday afternoon, bbq with the family type R&B. You know these guys had a great time cutting this record.

Downtempo syncopation and a loose flowing guitar progression frame the soulful jazz-influenced vocal featured on “Don’t Explain”. Field of Wolves is the new project fronted by London-based Aussie-born singer Holly Bestic, who has no doubt done her history-of-soulful-music homework. There’s so many neat diverse textures and layers to sample here. It’s trip-hop, it’s chill, and it jams, and we’ve got our replay set for “Don’t Explain” this Sunday.

b3sci, The James Brown rating scale. It’s not just a way for us to look awesome as we “rate” shit. A lot of times when we’re looking at a track, deciding whether or not to feature it or toss it, we’ll try to mind meld with our patron saint James Brown and ask him (ourselves), “Would JB be into this track? Would he like it? Would it make him “feel good” to listen to?” (seriously, you can’t wrong with this litmus test, try it.) That said, we’re about 110% sure James Brown would go to town on this funky-as-fuck Kindness shit. Spin it.
