14th – Sweet Lies

14th

Favorites of site 14th are back today with new music in the form of the garage-tinged pop of “Sweet Lies”. Ahead of their time in 2011, with their R&B/UK Beats-infused sound, 14th pick right back up from where they left with the head-nodding but still visceral “Sweet Lies”.

J Tropic – Who U Are

Screen Shot 2014-10-20 at 17.22.48

“Who U Are” is the third and final track from Duly Noted Records artist J Tropic’s debut “Love Up” EP. “Who U Are” rides a trendy break and varied instrumentation but really excels in the melodic writing department as the track’s phrasing hooks are like little tiny homing darts of tunefulness and excellence impossible to miss or resist.
