E-DOZA – Whatever It Takes

Get set to enjoy the latest suave flip from B3 featured Toronto-based producer/bootlegger E.DOZA who we last covered for his very stylish track “Good Morning” (the brief and sugary provocatively-stylized dynamic-cheery-toned saxy Jamma Dee-beats inspired bootleg of LA songstress Joyce Wrice). We also really recommend E.DOZA’s latest spin on “Wake Up This Day”, Tom Misch’s Jordan Rakei-featuring tropical-vibe gem off Misch’s very awesome “Beat Tape 2”. With a mixture of sultry beats, slick synth accents and natural-vibe percussion touches E.DOZA fashions a quick and catchy dance tune that is hip and edgy yet still unequivocally Tom Misch. Excellent. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Tom Misch & Carmody – Easy Love

Pop Soul Track Reviews

We love the latest Rubba “Way Star”-sampled Carmody-vocals-led creation from B3 go-to vibrant-ambience mood setter Tom Misch (who based this new song on a beat he fashioned during the Christmas holidays). Misch and Carmody put out a great release together about a year ago (“Out To Sea” EP) and “Easy Love” is a reiteration that the two have a beautiful chemistry together. Amazing song. Misch released “Easy Love” to tide fans over until the release of his new live EP. We’re excited to hear it! Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Kwamie Liv – Perfect Grace

Pop Soul Track Reviews

Welcome Danish singer Kwamie Liv to B3. “Perfect Grace” from Ms. Liv’s forthcoming sophomore EP rides a minimal acoustic guitar-driven instrumental and cool polyrhythms to ~3:35 of pinpoint perfect indie R&B. We love it.

Bryson Tiller – Don’t (Sango & Bryson Tiller Salgueiro Mix)

Soul Track Reviews

New beauty “Don’t” is the voluptuously appointed vocals-led melodic-piano-soused third track from favorite producer Sango off his new “Mais Mais Mais” EP. A joint production with Louisville (KY) artist Bryson Tiller, “Don’t” (the Salguiero edit) showcases a montage of lulling percussion accents, debonair-style r&b vocal atmospherics, and muted melodic piano chords. The track (which also features the talents of NYC pianist/producer Chris McClenny) has us wanting to hear the other two tracks from Sango’s EP (“Infinidade” and “F.L.O.R”). Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Tinashe – Energy (Feat. Juicy J)

Hip Hop Soul Track Reviews

The run-up to Tinashe’s Joyride continues on with sultry new track “Energy”. An expert late-night R&B instrumental c/o of producer Mike Will Made It provides a cool frame for Tinashe’s easy vocal glide (+ a verse from Juicy J!). She exercise, she eat yogurt.

Soul Track Reviews

Lose Yourself in the beautifully compelling sublimely sunny jazz-lounge-apropos Norah Jones-vibe vocals and lovely meld of minimalist melodic-tone-led instrumentals on new song “You Give Me That” from sensational new NYC songstress Raveena (track produced by Everett Orr).

Electronic Soul Track Reviews

Expand your mood with the brightly-spun dynamic of Latin rhythms, dazzling brass instrumentals and psychedelic oozy reverb-y guitar grooves on brilliant new disco-tinged dance jam “On Te L’avit Dit” from talented veteran UK artist Raw-Artes.

Brent Faiyaz – Allure (Atu Remix)

Soul Track Reviews

We recently enjoyed the engrossing acid trap meld of electro tune “3”, a brightly-enveloping dynamic-opposite-layered triple-talent-packed collaboration between B3 watch list instrumental-electro beat-maker/mood-setters DPAT, atu and Sango. We are enchanted with the latest collaboration between two artists from this crew, atu and Sango (who plays drums on the track). A remix of Brent Faiyaz’s sultry ambient slow-burner “Allure” the new tune (produced by atu) is a colorful combo of vibrant percussion, grounding beats and subtle melodic keyboard touches. We like how atu artfully maintains the track’s original experimental-r&b pause-heavy atmospheric sentiments. Great remix. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Mayer Hawthorne – Cosmic Love

Soul Track Reviews

Mayer Hawthorne announces new LP for Vagrant Records and shares single “Cosmic Love”. For the track, Mayer’s classic soul inspiration pendulum has swung more into the direction of the mid-70’s, as “Cosmic Love” takes it time in communicating a retro-atmosphere-soaked melodic narrative straight from 1975 AM Radio. Get “Cosmic” w Mr. Hawthorne below.
