We’re not sure from where Halona King came from… but we’re glad it was somewhere. If you get weak in the knees like us when you hear soul music wrenched from contemporary soundscapes ala Adele, Alabama Shakes, Sade, Little Dragon, Cold War Kids, etc. then this deserves your attention (yeah we know that’s a crazy mix but trust us!). Halona King’s self-titled debut (we’re assuming) EP dropped as a free download this week. This couldn’t find the pocket any better.

The Breakbot man lets loose the latest teaser for his upcoming (due Sept. 17) Ed Banger release By Your Side. The relaxed “Another Dawn” is a well-executed marriage of more cooled Daft Punk tracks and more piano-driven Francophone pop. We promise you’ll like it.
