B3-current vibe setter Kaytranada charms our whacky pop-culture sentiments with a beautifully composed (insanely catchy) on-a-fun-note twist on some A+ classic back-in-the-day Hilary Duff material. We think Katyra excels at a 10 out of 10 for his pop-sensibilities on this kitchy fresh-vibe jazz-infusion rip of “Come Clean”, a song that you probably once loved yet have somewhat long forgotten (until now).

In March we felt totally transfixed (in a good way) by the fresh and imaginative radio-ready sound of Noah McBeth on his catchy-hooked viral-breakout hit “California Girls” which he created under his new nom de act called NoMBe. Not surprisingly the stupendously talented new LA-based artist just released another excellent darkly-textured trap-centric equally-as-catchy (to Cali Girls) hip-hop-rapper-tinged new one called “Miss Mirage”; which impresses us immensely with its poetically-spun lyrics and deeply-electrifying atmospheric-synth-charged moments of moody glory. We absolutely love the muted-pace, far-out-expansive vocal harmonies and superb quietly-dedicated folk-guitar melody of “Miss Mirage”. NoMBe is one to keep an ear on. Reviewed by Erin Shay

Take your mood to upbeat-mellow with “Stay” the sweetly-positive vox-enhanced easy-listening vibe gem track from Hamburg trio Les Loups (Phil, Felix & Toni) who effectively relish in some bright and lively disco-based rhythms and choice instrumental accents (love the piano stabs) to complement the emotive alto-vocals of B3 featured artist London-based Dane rising-star R&B songstress Marie Dahlstrøm; who last wowed us with her upcoming-summer-solo EP debut Sophie Faith/D.K. the Punisher-featured track “Look the Other Way” (which we love for its deeply-expressive melody). The new pop-leaning upbeat-summery disco-vibed “Stay” is the final installment off Les Loups’ artfully-presented single trilogy following “Colourblind” and “Out of Sight” (check them out on Soundcloud).

We’re hooked on the uniquely-catchy sultry-seductive vibes of sing-along-worthy new one “Hold It Down” the beat-based live-instrumentals-enhanced new jam from Denver-native StéLouse, a musician and DJ/producer who B3 last covered for his synth-touched trap-beat-centric dark-dub-facade remix of Jack Ü’s smash hit “Mind”. We dig the new track’s golden-touches of guitar (from Joseph Shull), sublimely slow undercurrent of percolating bass-line grooves (Noah Matthews) and jazzy sax embellishments from B3-watchlist trap/house/jazz aficionado Masego. Excellent stuff. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

We like the lyrically sumptuous, soft and sweet, straightforward indie-infused vocal style of r&b singer-songwriter William Bolton on his lavish new downtempo beat-infused collaboration “Sweet Love”; an outstanding joint between Bolton and San Diego-based veteran DJ and deep-house/d&b/hip-hop/funk Producer Ëlē. We are enthusiastic about this great double artist discovery! Stay tuned for more outstanding soulful music on the horizon from both vibrant new artists. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

New sophomore EP first single “Sweet Gin” is a quietly-simmering mesh of sparkling vocal undertones, deeply penetrating carbonated beats and softly calculated down-tempo instrumentals from Melbourne duo Leisure Suite (a.k.a. Mitchell Wood and vocalist Bridgette Le) who we last covered in September for their engaging beat-centric slow burner gem “Ease Away”. Really good track. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

We’re into the new scratchy-vocaled horn-accected jazzy-tropical-lounge-inspired hip-hop stunner remix of “OG Bobby Johnson” (by Atlanta rapper Que) from talented New Jersey artist (Aaron Valasquez) a.k.a. Flamingosis who we recently covered for his super-cool seductively summery melodic-vocaled funk-soul flip “Love Me in the Evening”. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Travel down the road of artistic possibility with brand-new London vocal talent and daughter of Neneh Cherry Mabel on her summer-soaked forward-female-vibe pop-inspired career-first-single “Know Me Better” which relishes in some very choice, subtly hot and bothered, sweet n’ romancey lyrics and a catchy and unexpected hook that we think places the singer-songwriter firmly on the new artist map. We hope to know your music better Mabel and look forward to seeing what direction you take to further unveil your artistic style as well as what collaborations come your way. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Tune into the classic r&b silly-as-f boyfriend-honesty-awesomeness, slick bass-line and compelling meld of vocals on new Drake joint “Drama” which showcases the immense promise of 19-year-old Brampton (Toronto suburb) vocalist homeboy Roy Wood$ who we recently discussed in regards to Krs’s newest bootleg endeavor “All Of U”; which is a slightly more upbeat percussively-textured bass-heavy take on Wood$’s track “All of You”. As you might recall Roy Wood$ wowed us on his original track with his superbly impassioned MJ Reverbing vocals and we are not surprised to discover how much we enjoy his super-fresh accompanying vocals on “Drama” (to the one and only Drake). Evidently the refreshingly light-hearted r&b-bent track is one of several Drake pet-projects (fellow Canadian) that aired on the debut OVO Sound Radio show on Beats 1 via Apple Music. Stay tuned and be sure to check out Roy Wood$’s upcoming project EXIS which is scheduled to drop sometime in 2015. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

New B3 producer/artist-find Egyptian Art carefully seams together form and function with style and pizzaz on their new gracefully-executed ultra-smooth beat-driven hybrid remix “She’s So Lovely” which we especially dig for its deep sweepingly-cinematic vibe, glossy absolute-winner bass-line adaptation, and seductive dynamic between synth, beats and vocals. “She’s So Lovely” is an irresistibly catchy artfully-crafted well-calibrated mesh of abhi//dijon’s “Honest” and Kendrick Lamar’s track “Poetic Justice”. Excellent track. We are listening Egyptian Art. A+ Reviewed by Erin Shay.
