“Anyway”, new from Cee-Lo, will be a bonus track on the upcoming re-release of his b3sci Top 10 album of 2010 The Lady Killer. Give the nicely-tipped Rivers Cuomo co-penned tune a spin.

So “Bonfire” was pretty hype. “Heartbeat” goes in well enough. But what about the rest of Camp. The LP’s been streaming for a couple days now on NPR. We’ve listened through a few times and …..eh. Not saying Camp is a let down but we’re not sure the LP as a whole will really exceed expectations (which are, admittedly, very high). The R&B-y “Letter Home” is one of our favorites from Camp and features a singing D. Glover pining out to an estranged lover. Camp is due Nov. 15.

Young Veggies goes in again. As the teen LA rapper is tapped for a feature on this new track from fellow Angeleno Jhene Aiko. “In Love We Trust” is a solid slice of that R&B heat that should inspire repeat spins.

The long-running Chromeo-headed “When the Night Falls” tour rolled into House of Blues, Boston this past Tuesday. A near capacity crowd enjoyed a good three hours of ok to great music from electro party duo Chromeo, Detroit soul singer Mayer Hawthorne, and beats DJ Breakbot.
We’re big Mayer Hawthorne fans here a b3sci so we were stoked to catch some of his latest material (off his new How Do You Do LP) live. We certainly weren’t disappointed in that department. As MH’s set straddled the best tunes from his debut A Strange Arrangement LP (one of our favorite albums of 2009) and songs from the new album. Mayer delivered a high energy, fun, kinetic set that kept most of the HOB house (which probably skewed 75/25 Chromeo fans) engaged and interested. Highlights from the set included SA‘s “Your Easy Lovin’ Ain’t Pleasin’ Nothin'” and “Shiny and New” as well as new tracks like single “The Walk” and the Detroit-inspired “A Long Time”. Having seen Mayer a few times before in smaller venues, the sheer size of HOB Boston seemed a bit much for his sound and style. Like, with Mayer’s music and persona, you want to feel like he’s singing to you or for you or something like that and inside the cavernous concert McDonalds that is HOB the set felt a bit disconnected in that way. That said, we still had a great time and really enjoyed Mayer’s performance.
Chants of “CHROME-OH-OH-OH” a la The Wizard of Oz filled HOB as the Canadian duo took their places on stage. From the first stab of P-Thugg’s keyboard rig onwards the place was electric. Chromeo had complete command of what quickly became a sprawling, frenetic, chaotic cascade of pot-smoke and whirling limbs. The place was absolutely nuts, maybe as live as I’ve seen the Boston House of Blues, just absolute mayhem. The duo rifled through an approx. hour-long set of “Chromeo classics” including the funkified “Tenderoni”, the funkier “Hot Mess”, and the supremely funky “Call Me Up”. Chromeo came hard and delivered. The kids danced, the kids moved, the kids got psyched, got hyped, and seemed to leave satisfied.

“Yes!” by recent signer to JD’s So So Def label sounds like a soon-to-be staple on mainstream urban radio, 106 & Park, your life, etc. The track sort of reminds a bit of Trey Songz or even Miguel, like the vocal will sound familiar to the listener in that way, but without sounding like a copycat of either of those dudes. Nice track.

The B3SCI team will be in the building for tonight’s Chromeo, Mayer Hawthorne, Breakbot show at House of Blues, Boston. Having seen him live several times, we know Mayer is sure to bring an A+ show. And we’re sure MH’s longtime tourmates Chromeo will be on their top game tonight too. If you see us in the crowd be sure to say “Hey.” and also be sure to buy us a drank (T-Pain). xxoo b3sci.

The impact of the legendary Roy Ayers on soul, jazz, hip hop, (music in general) is immeasurable. The awesome KCRW DJ Anthony Valadez put this mix of some of Roy’s best tracks as well as some of the best tracks he inspired (It’s a seriously impressive list). And that’s not all! The Homage music series is bringing Roy Ayers together with Pete Rock(!) and a live band to Exchange: Los Angeles Nov. 17. This is a show you absolutely do not want to miss. Seriously! We couldn’t be more psyched!

If you dig anything The Weeknd is doing with pop music, shit if you dig slow jams with soul then you need to give “Alone” a spin. #LUSHASFUCK. The self produced track by JMSN is the strong follow up to his debut song “Hotel”. Somebody get Drake on this shit.
