The Internet – Get Away (Kayloo Remix)

B3 recent feature KAYLOO remixes B3 fave LA trend-setter music collective The Internet to quite a stunning result. We’re enjoying the French artist’s subtle yet robust trap-accented French-touch-permeated late night dance spin on “Get Away” the poetic-sexy vocals-led Ego Death album gem which features The Internet’s uniquely-gifted hip-hop soul songstress Syd. KAYLOO endeavors to go dynamic (with bass, trap beats and synth) yet remain surprisingly subtle and in doing so beautifully highlights Syd’s delicate ultra-female classic-vibe vocals (modern Gwen Stefani-vibes all around) while also creating a fresh and interesting spin on the track. Very cool remix. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Flamingosis – Saturday Night Fever

Electronic Soul Track Reviews

B3 2015-favorite production artist Flamingosis, who’s eclectic well-balanced blend of hip-hop, soul, jazz and funk first caught our attentions back in June, creates a light and vivacious lounge-y 70‘s/80‘s-vintage vibe ambiance on his new technicolor brass-tinged tune “Saturday Night Fever”; a superbly tantalizing, bright and lively funk-infused vocal-loop-enhanced instrumentals-led track which has us very much looking forward to Flamingosis’ much anticipated soon-to-release album. We love everything you touch Flamingosis! Another great track. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Two Another – Higher

Soul Track Reviews

Another day, another new R&B act shrouded in a vacuum of information. That aside, Two Another (we do know they’re originally Aussie now residing in London) mark out a strong B3 debut here on the coolly infectious “Higher” which excels on its neat mix of unexpected swerves in production and good melodic writing.

Sevdaliza – One Armed Lullaby

Soul Track Reviews

Sevdaliza’s new one is a minimalist R&B track awash with abstract production textures and a cool juxtaposition between its striking visceral vocal and an overall vacant far-off feel. “One Armed Lullaby” is a component part of Red Bull’s ongoing 20 for 16 series.

WALLACE – Negroni Eyes

Soul Track Reviews

Auckland-born Australia-based WALLACE impresses again on new one “Negroni Eyes”. The track, laced with jazzy piano-driven grooves (the song samples Miles’ “Nardis”) and creative rhythmic production from Sampha collaborator Godriguez, sets a cool pace for WALLACE’s richly toned alto (we absolutely love the young NZ’er voice). Sample the great “Negroni Eyes” below.

Nxworries (Anderson Paak & Knxwledge) – Link Up

Soul Track Reviews

The hardest working man in indie music Anderson Paak connects with Stones Throw producer Knxwledge as Nxworries for “Link Up” a new collaboration between the two SoCal artists. “Link Up” centers on a stone cool groove and Paak’s legato vocal weaves in and out the downbeat. A new favorite indeed.

Fhin – Your Heart Sounds Like

Electronic Soul Track Reviews

Unknown French producer Fhin’s debut original track online (he authored two well-received remixes earlier this fall for Telepopmusik and Chloe Black) “Your Heart Sounds Like” does not sound unlike it’s title. A romantic circadian, primarily instrumental number, finished with the warm synth tracking that the French seem to execute on so well, “Your Heart Sounds Like” knocked us out straight away and deserves your attention right now below.

Majid Jordan – Something About You

Soul Track Reviews

The Torontonian Drake affiliates Majid Jordan stream new fire flame “Something About You”. The new track does a cool job of juxtaposing a urgent immediate vocal and a icy space-chase style of production. “Something About You” is previewed from MJ’s forthcoming debut LP. A+++++++.

Track (the awesome) producer Maths Time Joy will release Norway via L.A. singer Flores debut EP next year through his True Colours label. “Afterglow” is an undeniably excellent School of Aaliyah R&B track topped by expert subtle production and a star-level vocal. Well done.

dvsn – Too Deep

Soul Track Reviews

How does this one go again? Info-scarce R&B artist out of Toronto dvsn author another attention grabbing new track “Too Deep”. The buzzball for dvsn has been quickly simmering, and taking a brief roll call of A-list sites now listening, we may be witness to something of a “indie moment” for the band with this track. “Too Deep” is a very good song and stylistically packaged in a way that only the best, most quintessential, 90’s R&B were crafted and produced. The arranging, production, melodic structure (etc, you name it) are all very top notch and indicative of an artist(s) with some experience and skill in the field. Look out.

HONNE – Gone Are The Days

Pop Soul Track Reviews

At this point in the year we are on the final countdown to our year-end lists (Best Album/Best Track/Artist-to-Watch (2015!)) and (dare we say) UK dynamo duo HONNE are a shoe in for a pick at (or near) the top (on possibly all three lists). The singer-songwriter pair hit #1 on our list of 2014’s Best Tracks with their totally fresh sultry-hazy vocals-led blusey-folk-pop sound on “Warm On A Cold Night” (which is a superbly transcendent track). We adore HONNE even more (is that possible) after hearing their excellent new mild-mannered piano-led up-tempo rhythm-infused year-end treasure “Gone Are The Days” which we think broaches a new sleeker, effortless (radio ready) sound for the duo that we hope carries into next year (the vocals are especially smooth). Also after having one of the best albums of the year under their belts (Over Lover), the guys seem to posses a seasoned artistic confidence which we think comes through beautifully in the song . HONNE are incredibly talented gents and we can’t wait to see how it all unfolds for them at year end (and into 2016). Stay tuned!
