Harlan’s Native Son EP is a delightful pop carousel, one of my fav EPs as of late, with heady hooks to be enjoyed by music lovers of all ages. Per the Echo: “It has been described as Prince meets Genesis meets Shuggie Otis.” However, songs like “I Never” also show off a Nilsson Schmillson variety involving the rare juxtaposing of whimsicality and self-seriousness. Sprinklings of da Doobie Bros and Jamiroquai can be detected as well. We’re mightily stoked here @ B3SCI for his May residency at the Echo, one of the more exciting in recent memory. Harlan can hit all the notes and plays just about every instrument as well. And right when you think you’ve heard it all, there’s that desert rock guitar on the EP’s title track. Absolutely righteous!

We lift the b3sci Odd Future embargo just this one time for newly unearthed Frank Ocean track “Math”. The melodies/arrangements/everything on “Math” are insanely good. Try not getting this shit in your head.

Austin band White Denim deliver a silky new tune in the form of the R&B tinged “Get Back to Love”. “Get Back to Love” is the perfect soundtrack for that special time when you find yourself in the “Steely Dan Zone” (you know what we’re talking about).

Tom Croose (not to be confused with Com Truise or Tom Cruise) is an LA based producer and a fave around b3sci. Here Mr. Croose hooks up with the Sandro Perri song “Love & Light” for a stunning, consciousness-bending, transportive edit. The mix is immediate and visceral but also sounds exotic & undiscovered too; the best sort of blend for music in this style. Make sure you check this one out.

Miguel dropped tonight the second volume in his Art Dealer Chic EP series (which has thusfar been his outlet for a more indie R&B-leaning sound. THE WEEKND.). That trend continues with the slightly more uneven Vol. 2. The definite clear standout among the EP’s three song is the pulsing lead track “Arch N Point”; which despite being more than a bit reminiscent of “Sure Thing” (like a spookier sounding “Sure Thing”), does still stand relatively well on its own and should keep you interested.

The great Mr. Carr was one of the best to ever do it. “A Man Needs a Woman” is one of those special moments when the right song and the right voice intersect and that little minor-keyed “To carry on” bit that balances the chorus is just perfect.
