NEW EP: Kiana Ledé – Myself

kiana-lede-myself-ep-1559925914

We discovered Kiana from when she toured with Jessie J, and we immediately fell in love! She has just released a 6-track EP titled Myself, and that is exactly what the project is covering.

Kiana’s vocals soar while she covers her struggles with anxiety and relationships on “Heavy“, then flips it around and gives us a light hearted, upbeat track like “Bouncin”. There was some hard work put into this project and every second of it shows!

We are going to have this on rotation for quite some time! We showcased the video to one of our favorites off the EP below, “Bouncin” which features Offset!
Take a listen!

 

NEW MUSIC: MiC LOWRY – Can’t Lie

mood-2017-MiC-LOWRY-billboard-embed

We have been slacking in our features with the talented MiC LOWRY since our artist spotlight last year. Since then they have dropped “Whiskey Kisses” and more recently “Don’t Tempt Me“, and now the smooth “Can’t Lie”.

Every single track has been an absolute banger, giving us such a different boy band flavor than we have had. The smooth harmonies, the production is a 90’s feel that the industry is missing.

Now I will just patiently waiting for the USA to grasp a hold of these talents and they can announce their tour!

MiC LOWRY is getting ready to drop their EP, Mood, on Oct. 18th! Stay tuned!

Get into it below!

NEW VIDEO: Stanaj – Bad Woman

Our favorite, Stanaj, is back with visuals for a track off his is smash EP From A Distance. “Bad Woman” is another huge track for this talent, along with many others on the EP. The video see’s Stanaj showing his swag with a mystery girl in various shots. It’s a simple yet effective music video, and I have to say the track speaks for itself anyway.

If you haven’t checked out the EP From a Distance, I highly suggest you do that right now.

NEW EP: Stanaj – From A Distance

340x340bb

We have so much love for Stanaj, and now he releases his second EP, From a Distance. Stanaj just gave us his first EP, The Preview, back in August which is exactly what it was. From A Distance is giving us a more in depth look at what this guys career is going to become.

The EP gives us 4 all new tracks, and the remix of Romantic which he has previously released. In just 4 tracks, Stanaj has managed to captivate us with all his talent being showcased. Below we included our favorite track off the EP, “Changed”, which is just amazing on all levels.

 

We have said so much about this talent in previous posts, but the best thing for you to do right now is just dive in to this amazing EP. Catch Stanaj on tour with another one of our favorites, JoJo, in the next few months! Tickets here!

If you haven’t seen our Ones to Watch 2017, we gave Stanaj the Number 1 spot, for a very good reason. Check out the rest of the talents so you don’t miss out!

NEW EP: Stanaj – The Preview

stanaj-the-preview-ep_heljc1

Just days after we announced our Artist Spotlight for the month of August, he goes and announces his debut EP. Stanaj gives us The Preview, a short but epic EP of what is just a taste to come.

It features four very different tracks, one you may have heard from our feature, “Romantic”. The biggest standout for me is his obvious vocal talent, but don’t let that take away from the many other talents this guy has. The production, the lyrics, the flow, everything just fits perfectly to make some serious good R&B flavored vibes.

Go buy this, support some soon to be huge talent. It is even available for stream on Spotify.

NEW EP: M.O – Good Friends EP

M.O_GOODFRIENDSEP_12_ozyshg

Been a big supporter of M.O for quite some time now, and they have finally given us some new music in the form of the Good Friends EP.

M.O has been slowly improving their craft and finding exactly where they fit in, and this EP is everything we needed in the industry. There are times where it sounds like a modern version of Destiny’s Child, the harmonies are just fantastic.

The EP has everything from slow jams to some serious bangers, all the while keeping a very 90’s vibe. There is a huge standout on this EP, and that comes with the title track, “Good Friends”. There is some serious production going on there, and we have to shout out to Bless Beats for that. I’m not taking anything away from the EP has a whole though, it is fantastic from beginning to end.

Take a listen below!

 

NEW EP: Jody Brock – Phoenix

jody

If you don’t know the talent that is Jody Brock by now, I highly suggest you dive in right now!

I have been following his career for quite sometime now, and I am highly impressed with everything has put out. After what feels like forever, we finally get an EP that was definitely worth the wait titled ‘Phoenix’. The one word I would use to describe Jody Brock and this whole EP is “Raw”. His sound is verging on rock with a soul which is definitely a sound we don’t have anywhere right now. If I had to compare it something, it would definitely be The Black Keys, but don’t let that get stuck in your head, because Jody adds so much more to that sound. Each track has a very distinct sound but keeps a very rock vibe going for it. I can’t even begin to describe the vocals on this EP, I thought I had heard it all, vocally, from him but he continues to impress.

Although I love the EP as a whole, I have to admit ‘User’ is definitely a standout track for me, so much depth and meaning behind every word in that song. I have posted the video for the song after the jump, which I highly suggest you watch right now!

Thank you Jody Brock for creating this, and I definitely hope this gives him enough momentum to cross over and play some shows in the USA here soon!

After falling in love with his talent, go buy the EP right here —–> Phoenix EP

NEW EP: Brayton Bowman – HERE | NOW

10697417_871960379522001_6626089432878357918_o

 

Ladies and Gentleman, we finally have some real talent from the USA, and I’m super excited to share this with you!

Heard a little buzz going around from this EP, so I decided to give it a spin and let me tell you, I wasn’t the least bit disappointed. Brayton Bowman is a sort of soulful, yet funky mixed with a little R&B talent. This short 4 track EP doesn’t do justice to the amount of Talent this guy has. I don’t really know anything about him just yet, but I intend to keep a close watch on him, he is just getting started and I can’t wait to hear what he has in store.

REPEAT.

NEW EP: Afro Deezy Axe – The Vagabond EP

Most of you probably haven’t heard of these talented guys known as the Afro Deezy Axe, yet. These guys are currently a local band located near the Dallas,Texas area and after a couple of years of gigging locally, they have managed to release an EP, and I have to say it sounds fantastic! The short 5 track EP features some of their best songs and doesn’t even begin to show the aura they give out during a live show. I highly recommend if you’re ever near to check them out!

The above track is the only one I could find in full on Youtube titled ‘Stay With Me’. Definitely check out the others on the EP even if you aren’t a fan of this track, they are all fantastic!

Anyway, you can check out their EP via Spotify and iTunes
Keep up to date with their gigs on facebook

NEW EP: Mar – Seeing Her Naked

Earlier this year, one of my favorite singers of the moment, Mar, dropped his debut track off the Seeing Her Naked EP. Now the whole thing is out in full!

Mar never fails to impress me, and this short EP is just perfection. The vocals are smooth and fit perfectly over every baby making beat. Mar has talent for days, and there isn’t much else to say except listen and educate yourself on this guy, he is going to be big one day!
