Liv – Special

liv

UK R&B artist Liv follows up the great “Come a Little Closer” from earlier this month with the more straightforward soul of “Special”. Framed by low touch guitar strums and a crossover R&B-friendly rhythm track, “Special” succeeds on its believability and soul-soothing melodic quality.

The L.A. via D.C. band’s consistently varied and consistently strong songwriting stars on “Superstitions”, as arpeggiated synths and a sturdy hip hop kick/snare provide a perfect matrix for Misun Wojick’s free-flowing melodically excellent vocal. Superstitions is out November 11th.

Cambio Sun – Mad As They Come

cambiosun

19-year-old singer-songwriter/producer Cambio Sun just dropped the dreamy and expansive electro-folk track “Mad as They Come”; which is the third release from upcoming debut EP, “Reticent” (slated to be out later this month). B3SCI recently introduced the eclectic talents of the young Aussie-turned-Londoner (as both artist and producer) with the EP’s beautifully cumbersome premiere track ”Weight of the World”. The latest track “Mad as They Come” is an irresistibly resonant melodramatic keeper with a catchy lyrical mantra, jovial interludes of folk-guitar and unmistakably delicate falsetto vocals; the resulting combination (when blended with a blaring synth, subtle grounding percussion and a blatant cello) brilliantly emotes a seductively glum depth of perception that (especially with the surprise ending) feels like waking up inside a dream.
