“Turn Your Light On Me” is excerpted from an as of yet untitled EP forthcoming in September from The Night VI. Nearly from moment one on the track, vocalist Sophie-Rose Harper’s warm alto pulls you immediately to the track. While not having so much in common sonically, there’s something about the urgency and styling of the track’s syncopation that reminds in the best way of Fleetwood Mac. Well done.

Peter Lyons, formerly of duo Peter & Kerry, latest solo track is the cinematic pop of “Leave Me”. Dynamic swells of strings and synth atmopspheres, a low touch rhythm track, and a vocal as a component of the instrumental ensemble aesthetic highlight “Leave Me”‘s A+ production and composition. “Leave Me” is the lead track from Peter Lyons’ forthcoming EP.

Ben Khan marks a strong return with the two-step bounce of new EP title track “1000”. Reminding a bit of Kelis & Andre 3000’s “Millionaire” in aesthetic, “1000” is long on a similar quality progressiveness and tunefulness that made Khan’s debut “1992” EP so excellent. “1000” is out May 11.

“Home” is new from Des Moines, IA artist Max Jury. The 21-year old’s wistful piano-driven “Home” reminds a bit thematically of Elton John or even Paul McCartney at their more vulnerable moments. “Home” really impresses on its beautifully simple melodic phrasings and warm instrumentation. We love it. Mr. Jury has a new EP in the works and will be in Austin next week for several performances at SXSW.

“Dark” is the online debut of Los Angeles-based artist SILVR. “Dark” adeptly strides a line between broad accessibility and strong pop construction and buzzworthy choices in the track’s instrumental and production; a method of composition we can most certainly get behind. We are into it. Stream the B3 Premiere of “Dark” from SILVR below.
