“Just Words”, the new track from UK band The Night VI, probes the more R&B-side of the band’s sound with terrific results. The bit of melody in the chorus where keyboardist Kristy Burglass turns to falsetto and sings “are you saying something real” is just perfection. Look for a new EP, of which “Just Words” will be apart of, from The Night VI in September.

17 year old dePresno from Norway’s second city of Bergen (home to artists like Kings of Convenience, Royksopp, and Datarock) is very impressive on debut track “Forever”. Merging an aesthetically Krule-esque vocal (and hairstyle) to inventive multi-chromatic production (the range of sounds and ideas on “Forever” is particularly notable), “Forever” is a standout special debut.

Lose yourself in the cinematic scratchy haze, delicate melody and raw-edge industrial-vibed beats of new ambient music producer Alicks. on his enchanting beauty track “Empathy” which teeters well artistically on a fine balance between a delicate slow building synthesized dream-state and a more grounding and expressive percussive clamor that each work beautifully in unison to capture the emotional meaning of the title.

New to the London R&B scene is former street dance teacher ASHA who is out this week with debut single “We Can Do This”. Maybe most striking about “We Can Do This” is the richness and emotional resonance of ASHA’s alto vocal which exhibits a depth of tone that took hold of us nearly immediately. That and “We Can Do This” is quite a strong song; stream it below.

Get absorbed in the cool reverberant 50/60’s rock underground vibe, dreamy screech-ed out vocals and western-style guitar twang of excellent new classics-influenced indie gem “I Wanna Be A Girl”; which is a fresh slice of good old-fashioned fun-loving cross-dressing rock and roll from Aussie six piece band The Pinheads (who are signed with hometown Wollongong imprint Farmer & The Owl).

We’re into “Flirt” a perfectly hazy pop tune from Auckland, New Zealand artist Boycrush. With the assistance of NZ pal foursome Yumi Zouma and NZ producer Madiera, new act Boy Crush excels with a flawless mesh of drum accents, simmering beats and slightly-mumbled sing-songy lyrics which are dipped in a lovely vibe of emotional truth. “Flirt” is the newest single from Boy Crush’s ‘Girls On Top’ EP that is out May 27th.

Step into the mood-expansive space and tropical infused vibrations of “Rastaman” from reggae band Natural Numbers who impress on the track with a catchy guitar riff and classic soul-inspired keyboard melody. Their divine-opposite pairing of some surprisingly bittersweet rasta poet vocals awash a skillfully proportioned bright-side fun-in-the-sun dub sound makes for a pretty interesting mix. New track “Rastaman” is featured now on Stones Throw Records. Reviewed by Erin Shay.

As you may recall B3 recently featured the transfixing Knocks bootleg of 2015 melodic hip-hop jam “White Iverson” from Texan singer-rapper Post Malone. If you enjoyed both tracks half as much as we did check out the rad new mellowed-down trap-infused flip of “White Iverson” from a talented new fame-elusive producer act called Y//2//K.
