Canadian electro-pop duo (and real-life married couple) New Look present their lead single Nap on the bow of their debut album...
Alter.Hip.Soul Artist: Logic
Logic is a relatively underground rapper but he’s surfacing fast with his clever wordplay and fast paced flow. He’s got that true hip hop swag...
Local Artist Check: Miracle
You Have probally heard of this young and upcoming rapper who goes by the name of "Miracle" or "Miracle the boy wonder".
No hiltop hood, but hes' also no "Fake Yank" rapper either...Miracle is just.... real.
Some Indie for ya, without the looped vocals.
This new 5 piece UK Indie Outfit are getting ready to release their ‘Hands down‘ CD single tomorrow. I'm loving these guy's positive and relaxed vibe throughout their tracks. Slick chilled instrumentation along with a catchy hook - this track will definitly be on its way to the Triple J charts.
I am definitely digging the sounds from Canadian electro-pop duo (and real-life married couple) New Look. Their self-titled debut dropped last month with the lead single being “Nap On The Bow”. It has a great laid-back vibe that compliments Sarah Ruba’s peaceful vocals perfectly.
Check out the video below and download in CDQ here.
New Post-Dub infused Alt-Electronic vibe from Hard Mix. The up-tempo beat, looped soul vocals and the Chopped and screwed bridge make this a great one for the Dancefloor, study or chill sesh. Whatever. Just Listen and let us know what you think.
One of all time favourite R&B crooners, Tyrese is finally back with a new album - Open Invitation. Production is by Brandon Alexander, R. Kelly and David Banner and features Rick Ross, R. Kelly, Candace, Jay Rock and Ludacris. The album's lead single was "Stay" and it peaked on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs at #35. "Too Easy", is the second single - out now.
I picked up a pre-realease copy, and to be honest I expected a pile of s*** - but was very pleased with the album (maybe it was the expectation bar reasoning). Either way if your a R&B fan, You should support him and buy his new album on November 1st.
Check out "Nothing On You" one of me fave from cut.
I first heard of Jacob Latimore back in 2006, when at only 10 years old he had a run with Cornerboyz, Soundz and the Underdogs production teams. He had solid material for a kid his age, "Girl Like Tish" a song about his mother and "Like I Do" - Some R&B Jams for my high school years.
He then dissapeared...not for long tho.
Now at 15, Jacob Latimore is already a big deal (Singer, Dancer and Actor), and he’s about to get even bigger with his song featuring Issa called “Like ‘Em All.” Watch how he works in this video, and you’ll understand why he’s made girls lose their minds across the US. He has been announced in the Young BET artists list.
Latimore released this track last year (2010) which originally featured Diggy Simmons. Over 4 million youtube hits later, He re-releases a radio version with a different production and rapper - fellow Young'n Issa takes the place this time. This version is much more R&B radio freindly with a nice sample to smooth it out.
Check out the track below, which also shows fellow Young BET artist, Jawan Harris.
I think like these youngns who can sing and dance (Chris Brown, Jawan harris, Jacob Latimore), coz secretly I aspired to be like them.
Jill Scott’s The Light of the Sun album was not all that great. Scott's voice is always beautiful, but most of the tracks (including this one, felt empty). Paul Wall doesn't do much for me either.
I guess what I look for (in all artists) is artistic evolution and that’s something I unfortunately failed to see this time round.
MJB is the "Queen of Hip Hop Soul", but unfortunately not too many R&B fiends have been appreciative of her most recent material. I was never really sold on this record and the video does not help at all. Her vocals are a hit tho.
I'm not normally one to post too many covers, but this one is a great exception. Colplay performed their rendition of Calvin Harris & Rihanna's "We Found Love" last week on BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge. The well-structured and beautiful instrumentation will make you forget about the dirty dutch horns that are featured on the original. Hopefully they have studio recorded this and a CDQ wil be out soon. Be on the lookout, and peep the video below.
Received a little drop of goodness in my inbox today. New comer, Rimar unleashes the video for "Higher Ground". The track has that old school funk vibe, but brings a alternative freshness to it - with the synths, guitar strings and qwerky beat. Check out the whole "Higher Ground:" EP below.
Lovin' It. Mickydees.
