Zella Day – Sweet Ophelia

zelladay2

We’re psyched here at B3SCI to announce our release of “Sweet Ophelia” the debut single from the ultra-talented songwriter Zella Day. We first tipped you to Zella way back in the summer of 2011, when our unearthing of her dusty stunning cover of “Seven Nation Army” led to her grabbing the #1 spot on the Hype Machine Chart. Fast forward to 2014 and the release of the dark pop of “Sweet Ophelia” which is of a quality and contains a potential for breakout that is a declaration that Zella is an artist that demands attention. “Sweet Ophelia” b/w “1965” is out April 7th on B3SCI Records, you can preorder a copy here

Airling – Ouroboros

airling

Airling is the new solo project of Australian musician Hannah Shepherd (ex-Charlie Mayfair). “Ouroboros”, Hannah’s first release as Airling, skillfully blends an ethereal lighter-than-air vocal w/ a low touch from 40,000 feet instrumental. We love it.

Wet – Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl (Branchez Remix)

Wet - Don't Wanna Be Your Girl (Branchez Remix)

New York meets New York. Neon Gold trio Wet has been putting the internet on blast, with their smooth, refined sound. They recently tapped NY- based producer Branchez (who has also been putting the internet on blast) to remix their single “Don’t Wanna Be Your Girl”. Somehow, young-gun Branchez puts even more feels into this mix. Chopping up the borderline haunting/beautiful vocals and building a behemoth of a flip, this track makes for a near perfect mix.

Oscar Key Sung – Holograms

oscar key holograms

Songwriters have the most infinite canvas to create art. Within that vast amount of space, most artists tend to pack as much sound as they can within 3 minutes or so. With his space, Oscar Key Sung from Melbourne has etched out a perfectly shaped R&B jam in “Holograms.” From the incredibly round and full bass hits, to the unbelievably smooth synth lines and vocal melodies, this track is an absolute thing of beauty. Even sneaking faint birds singing to each other in between the valleys of bass hits at 00:58, OKS could do no wrong. Reviewed by Brian Litwin
