Anne-Marie – Gemini

annemarie

Get into the the forward-thinking, cool R&B-infused, and cheerful-uprising vibe on new Two Inch Punch-assisted track “Gemini” from Anne-Marie, a multi-faceted London artist (including martial) and outstanding Rudimental-protege vocal-talent who is set to release her career-debut “Karate” EP on July 10th (via Major Toms). Anne-Marie who worked on “Gemini” with Two Inch Punch, a.k.a gifted musician/producer and talent-magnet Ben Ash launches her new solo EP in style. Well done, this is a beautiful collaboration. The dualistic “Gemini” excels for its well-written outwardly-stormy verse and creative true-to-life female-emotional love/hate-perplexed vocal delivery that contrasts nicely with Anne-Marie’s positive firey-opposite come-hither interludes, enticing sensual rhyme flow and catchy all-encompasing blissfull-resignation melodic hook. If you are into her sound (like we are) also check out Ann-Marie’s recently released career-debut electro-pop single ‘Karate’. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

starRo – I Will (Feat. Jay Prince)

starro

Talented Japanese-bred LA-based multi-instrumentalist musician/producer and Soulection artist starRo, who excelled on his Jan-released euphoric seduction of the senses remix of “At Your Best (You are Love)”, impresses again on his new smoothy melodic gorgeous-beat-driven original “I Will”; which began as an instrumental/beat track until the song met its perfect match with the mellow-poet vocals of rising star London rapper Jay Prince, who we last covered on B3 for his sultry beat-poppin R&B/hip-hop fusion anthem track “Polarioids”.

Tune into the straightforward-vibe female-wile lyrics, stunningly sensual golden-touch Syd Tha Kid vocals and captivating experimental-flow R&B-blessed sweet-rapture ending of “Girl” the fastidiously-crafted Kaytranada-produced second single off Ego Death which is the third album from LA-based collaborative The Internet. Ego Death releases on June 30th via Colombia Records and it apparently features some big name vocal talents such as songstress Janelle Monáe, rapper Vic Mensa and singer-songwriter James Fauntleroy. Stay tuned. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Janet Jackson – Would You Mind (E.DOZA Remix)

janetallforyou

Toronto-based beatmaker-producer and Bevstmode artist-collective member E.DOZA elevates Ms. Jackson’s bold and beautiful track to new subtly sexy heights on his fresh and dazzling (if you’re nasty) new remix of “Would You Mind” which revels in the distinctly sensual artistic bent and lyrics of Janet’s and adds a perfectly layered percussive sound and robust synth accents that we totally dig. We just covered E.DOZA’s luminous and timeless blend of soul-touched R&B and hip-hop on his bright and lively “house-hop” bootleg mix of Internet track “Special Affair”. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Fractures – Reactor

We love the slightly-intense mismatched interludes of beats and guitar as well as the beautifully spun wandering-debate I-am-human emotional lyricism and heart-felt falsetto vocals of Melbourne multi-instrumentalist musician-singer and producer Fractures on his fresh new track “Reactor” which is the first song the solo artist has released since his atmospheric self-titled EP that includes B3 highlighted winner track “Cadence”. We look forward to hearring more tracks off Fractures’ debut early-2016-release full album. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Andrea – Down (Feat. Vanessa Elisha)

We’re into the infinite charms and heady-atmosphere of “Down” a beauty from French producer Andrea who creates a gorgeous soulful vibe on the track with his outstanding harmonious male-female vocal duet; which features sultry-vocaled Australian songstress Vanessa Elisha who we recently discussed on B3 for her sensational talents on B.Lewis collaboration “Down For This”. Great track. “Down” is presumably the first to release off Andrea’s “Black Magic” EP which is out on July 10th via Jakarta Records. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Yheti & Esseks – Voices In The Dark

yheti

Lose yourself in the broad depths and atmospheric experimental folds of new track “Voices in the Dark” which was created on a cold NY day by collaborative duo Yheti and Esseks; who go for a brilliant subtly-robust percussion-peppered eccentric-instrumental vibe on the track that contains a beautifully dramatic and spacey escalating synth line. “Voices in the Dark” actually reminds us of the muted and watery deeply-embedded mind-expansive sounds that come out to play on a cold wintery day. We’re into it. Reviewed by Erin Shay

We like the timeless meld of pop elements and captivating innate-sense sex appeal on new track “Anxious In Venice”, the soothing-vibe vox-enhanced gem from LA-based pop trio Superhumanoids who impress with their rad Blondie-esque vocals and juicy stunningly-expressive driving synth. “Anxious In Venice” is the first song off the group’s upcoming album called Do You Feel OK? which is out via Innovative Leisure in September.
