“Something Inside” is the debut track from Liverpool band WHEN I AM KING. Judging from the track’s sophisticated writing and arranging, “Something Inside” is the work of a very talented crew. Consciously modern R&B but constructed in a way that sounds fresh, “Something Inside” is a caliber of track that demands attention and notice. So very good.

That’s some great melodic writing, isn’t? “Janet” is the A+ debut track from Berhana. Frank Ocean? Miguel? Those are indeed a couple of the influence points of reference bloggers are likely to throw around this guy but something here feels new and very special. We’re into it.

The wonderfully soulful “Don’t Pull Away” is a new collaboration between BK-based musician J. Viewz (part of his DNA Project) and Rhye’s Mike Milosh. “Don’t Pull Away” is simply a beautiful bit of modern songwriting, every piece of arrangement, each melodic phrase; truly not one passage of “Don’t Pull Away” doesn’t seem together into this most stunning whole (ahhhh, that final strings swell at 3:51, ahhhh). You just have to listen. Wow.

B3 last featured HW&W rep’d artist Baltimore producer/beatmaker Rashad Tek Williams (a.k.a. TEK.LUN) for his beautifully choppy jazz-sample-laced beats-driven house jam called “Sometimes”. We’re into his latest festively-adorned acid-jazz-accented percusion-layered whimsical-Arabian-vibe synth-filled party jam named “Da Wormhole”. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

Get into the softly-turbulent short and sugary provocatively-stylized dynamic-cheery-toned sax-tickled eye-opener fix from B3-featured artist Toronto-based beatmaker/producer E.DOZA called “Good Morning” which is based on the brief Jamma Dee-beats inspired track from LA songstress Joyce Wrice.

Quite possibly my favorite track of this week is the stunning “Found Someone” from Tasty Treat featuring Tribes. The bit from the start to about 1:30 that’s this crazy melange of jazzy pianos, very subtly trap-tinged beats and Tribes’ heart-shredding vocal is so so good. On repeat 24/7.

Thousand Oaks, California producer-beatmaker Dan Lopez (also known as Distant.lo) turns in a deeply-profound wonderfully-emotive soft-touch-percussion-laced melodic-piano-centric instrumental Nujabes-tribute aptly entitled “Beauty”. Amazing song. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

We’re digging the sexy-sultry mild-trap-y hip-hop beats-driven r&b-vocals-dipped electro-effects-laced “Back It Up” a beautifully-heated slow-burner tune from LA-based duo THEY who recently released their short yet very impressive bright- guitar-touched Mind of a Genius-rep’d debut EP “NU Religion” (which also includes the insanely-catchy lead single “Motley Crue”). Keep your ears peeled for more from this uniquely fashioned versatile multi-genre-straddling dynamo duo who are one of the best new acts we have heard as of late. Reviewed by Erin Shay.
