“Take the Fall” is the new bit of sublime R&B from NY-based newcomer Warren Wolfe.
Perhaps our favorite new vocalist of the year, Charlotte Day Wilson follows-up the excellent “Work” on strong Sade/C. Bailey Rae-vibing new one “Find You”. Ms. Day Wilson will release her debut CDW project on August 26.
We’re into the funky yacht rock stylings of Portland band Minden and their breezy new “Love is Bad” single for Hit City Records.
UK duo Fine Print dial into a soulful set of funky syncopations on kinetic return track “Matter”.
Surrey UK 18-year olds Jason Vaz and Harvey Wise debut online with the hazy stop-start vibe-y track “Everyday”. Featuring warm pads of synth atmospheres and rhodes, chopped up loops of vocal ostensibly from featured Beth Duck lilt about the mix in a dynamic technicolor whirl. We’re into it.
NYC-based songwriter Raveena makes a much welcomed return to B3 with new single “Johnny It’s The Last Time” which we particularly love for its cool horn-driven chorus hook.
A favorite voice (Charlotte Day Wilson) collaborates with a favorite band (BADBADNOTGOOD) for 70’s symphonic soul-tinged (maybe Willie Hutch-esque?) track “In Your Eyes”. BBNG’s new IV LP is out today.
Melbourne AU act Fortunes turn in seriously impressive new stream “Angel”. Very accomplished melodically (the track reminds us a bit of Raheem DeVaughn or even D’Angelo in that department) and expertly framed-up by a spare set of 808’s and cycling loops of vocal and additional rhythmic samples, “Angel”‘s emotive impactfulness is enormous and immediate.
