Sabi, who is probably best known for her featured vocals on Cobra Starship’s Billboard Top 10 “You Make Me Feel” (good news is “Love Sounds” is nothing like that), channels Jhene Aiko or maybe even Janet Jackson w/ latest joint “Love Sounds”. The Ryan McDermott-produced track features a sultry vibe and R&B-melodicism w/ just enough of hip hop production elements to keep things relevant. Sabi’s upcoming 0-60 project is coming soon.

We’re loving the lighter-than-air easy impact sound of “Move On” from BLDG5 Records artists Garden City Movement. The sweeping cinematic nature of “Move On”, we imagine, would make a trip your next music-aided grocery store or post office trip quite a bit more dramatic.

The distinct voicings of Clarinets and Saxophones are becoming a pretty big deal over in Iceland at the moment with promising young trip-hop bands like Samaris and also Vök, who particular put the lesser spotted instrument to good use. Makes you wonder if Tom Waits has been hiding out in the Scandinavian country leaving a secret treasure bounty of ideas in his wake? I guess we’ll never know. Either way, “Before” is a great track. There’s clearly a bit of xx’s guitar tones present but from the second verse things really take off as Margret Ran’s stunning vocals make their mark.
You can pick up this “Before” along with 4 more tunes on the already released “Tension” EP from Records Records. Reviewed by Nathan Hetherington

The crazy talented Rosie Lowe (whom you may remember from her collaboration w/ Lil’ Silva “No Doubt”. The Kwes/ Dave Okumu produced beautifully plaintive “Right Thing” is the sort of singular, great & challenging material that breakout artists produce. Look for Ms. Lowe’s “Right Thing” EP December 2nd on 37 Adventures.

The cast (MED, Blu, Madlib & Mayer) should be all you need to know w/ this latest “The Buzz” joint from Stones Throw. Madlib’s no stress orchestra-loop led production and Mayer’s silky falsetto are (no surprise) a velvet glove fit for MED and Blu’s west coast flowin’.

It seemed like official “Girl Power Night” at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles this past Monday night 11/4, with an excellent bill of live performances from Liz, Kitten, and Charli XCX.
Opening the night was Liz, and man did she surprise. You know those performances where you can’t believe the girl on stage is actually singing and dancing so well, but then the speakers hit your ear drums and you realize, oh shit, this girl is real. Yeah — that’s pretty much what I got from experiencing Liz. She was a beauty and a delight to watch.
Even with the recent change up of most of her band, Chloe Chaidez aka Kitten still put on an incredible show. A charming addition to the group, Fiona Grey is supporting Kitten as a backup Singer. I remember turning to another photographer during the set and hearing him say, “Yeah, they turnt this place up”. From stage dives to Chloe climbing up 20 foot speaker rigs, Kitten continues to blow us away.
“WHAT THE FUCK IS UP LA!!”. Charli XCX took the Los Angeles crowd to a whole new level, bringing a sold out venue and sea of fans to their toes, jumping to-and-fro to the infectious beat. It’s always a pleasure to hear a UK voice with prominence here in the States. I was a little skeptical on how her performance would turn out, but my concerns were quickly put to rest. With a strong fan base and a faithful independent label, I could see Charli XCX coming back to the States for many years to come.
