The emotively accurate “Closer” is the career debut for ROCH. “Closer” is beautiful. Wrapped about a spare electric guitar and hushed piano chords and centered on ROCH’s magnetic alto, “Closer” is a very special debut from a potentially very special artist.

Lose yourself in the pleasant surprise indie-dreamy hushy-whispery melody-enveloped Sundays-vibed vocals and unhurried quiet-centered pace of Australian brother-sister electro-pop duo Lastlings (Joshua and Amy Dowdle) on their very good career second-single “Wavelength”. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

The vivaciously soul-spirited vocal-led track “What You Don’t Do” from London songstress Lianne La Havas gets an excellent slick-percussion-tinged mellow-path house makeover from B3 favorite artist Maribou State; who are the London-based deep house leaning beat-maker duo responsible for creating the excellent June-released “Portraits” EP which we loved for its smashing Pedestrian-vocals-boosted track “The Clown”.

Irish Londoner wiz-producer/DJ Garry McCartney a.k.a. Ejeca (who we last discussed in 2013 for his low-key intimate-vibes garage-inspired house gem “Rosario”) blows our mind with a glorious carefully-laid sprawling-vibed sense of simplicity on “Ascension” the new sense-drenched raw-energy slow-trickling beat-heavy acid-house techno jam that is one of three tracks off Ejeca’s upcoming “Litmus” EP (out now via his own label Exploris).

We’re caught up on the divine r&b dynamic and heated-sultry vocal chemistry of B3 vocalist faves Vanessa Elisha and CVIRO on new one “Latency” an Aussie-talent-studded (GXNXVS-produced) joint project which outright excels for finely-detailed mesh of softly tapering vocal harmonies and stellar beautifully-integrated soft-edged stylish-sexy array of beats from GXNXVS.

About a year ago we covered LA-based electronic r&b artist duo RKCB (a.k.a. Riley Knapp and Casey Barth) for their lovely straightforward no-pretense quality immense hit “Elision”. We’re vibing out big-time to their oozy-synthed sentimental-melodic airy-atmospheric new one called “Daydreaming” a track we like immensely for its adorning artful-romantic lighthearted lyrical prose, bright-toned melodious synth-saturated temperament and subtle persuasive light-touch percussive sub-current.

NYC duo Surrender The Spirit successfully endeavor an impeccable mosh of sentiments on their picturesque kitchy-vintage synth-centered new one called “We” a track that we have grown to love over the last couple of days for its hypnotic-soothing well-mannered sitting-pretty amazing-vibed vocal harmonics and balanced rhythm-centered guitar-reverb-tinged pop instrumentals.

B3 favorite UK dynamo duo HONNE have hit our pages many times this year with their supremely smooth vibrantly-emotive intensely-moving sexy-sultry vocal-led pop. Earlier this week HONNE hit the blog scene with the full dose of their new four-song “Over Lover” EP which features three uniquely awesome new tracks to follow the EP’s very good on-point (B3 lauded) recent release first single “Loves The Jobs You Hate”. We especially dig the sound of “No Place Like Home” the duo’s vividly-sensuous receptive-vulnerable Jones-vocaled track from the EP for its warm over-the-top romantic sense of true attraction and extremely lovely warm-hug-vibe melodic vocal duet. Not surprisingly, we love the very excellent sweet-spectrum of emotions and sounds on “Over Lover” and recommend it whole heartedly. Top quality stuff HONNE. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Oh Wonder woos us yet again with their sweet-vibration singer songwriter magic on “Heart Hope” the duo’s last song to release in advance of their impending debut out later this week. Oh Wonder, who we started covering last October, first captured our ear on “Shark” the wily wild-side golden-touched song number two from the duo’s one track a month for a year series; a project that has consistently held our attentions and impressed us with its amazing thoughtfully-emoted melody-backed songwriting. We like “Heart Hope” as a perfectly quieting project cake-topper conclusion to Oh Wonder’s dynamite prolific series as it beautifully showcases their (now signature) slow-simmering luminous-synth-touched muted-paced melody-driven style and adds a little chic end-note twist of witty-uplifting inner-self-worldview songwriting wisdom into the mix.

B3 new fave Pat Lok has endeared a place on our favorite artists of 2015 list (thus far) for his distinctly-flaunty vibrant-synth-driven dancey-tropical blend of charismatic house music. We are drawn to Lok’s overtly pause heavy outstanding-artistry chop-y editing vibe that has come to define his signature style (which reverberates beautifully throughout his very catchy well-pointed recent body of work). Give a listen to Lok’s latest chipper intro-ed up-vibed percussion-laced reverb-y dance-friendly rework (of Autograf’s melodic-wood-tone-centric track “Dream”) that we think (refreshingly) treads a tad on the noir side in comparison to Lok’s previous works due to his choice in vocal sample and use of cold punchy metallic euro-house sensibilities that kick in late in the track. Brace yourself for more good stuff from Pat Lok, a true-to-life talent who we hear is a hoot at his live DJ stints. Reviewed by Erin Shay.
