Everything Tajan makes is pure sex to the ears in my opinion, and he violates our ears once again with this hot R&B mashup. I’m sure Drake’s name is the eye catcher on this one, but don’t expect to hear him. Keke Wyatt and Avant’s vocals make this track, there is so much emotion to be felt from them as they belt out their undeniable love for eachother that you won’t even miss Drake.

If you’re inside the comfort of your own home, this is the track that’s going to make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Shy Girls aka Dan Vidmar from Portland released this smooth electro-R&B record “Second Heartbeat” and it’s your cup of cocoa for this Fall morning. Wish I had more to say but listening to this record actually shuts me up, so do yourself a favor and press play! This is a must listen!

Indie, RnB, Videos | Jon Bellion – New York Soul

Posted by on October 23, 2013

Jon Bellion takes a step back to reflect on the spectrum of life.  The object being tugged by two forces; family and fame.  As Jon’s presence builds, so does the pressure from surrounding socialites.   “New York Soul” tells just that.  A mellow, piano driven production by Jon himself provides the foundation for his soulful moving script. GRVTY is once again the wizard behind the lens, directing a simple, but very powerful visual representation.

No download yet, but be patient as Jon has promised an album before year end!

Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap, RnB | Scolla – Peace

scolla - peace

Clocking in at two minutes, thirty-two seconds, my initial reaction to Scolla’s “Peace” was: “I want more!” The soulful hip-hop track pulls you in with soothing vocals that you hope never leave your ears, and keeps you interested when Scolla’s deep and choppy verse appears.

Like many of us, Scolla asks for peace and love. A message clearly reflected in his music within the subtle tones and gentle lyrics. I highly recommend giving “Peace” a listen, as well as perusing the rest of Scolla’s RLES crew. The album OG Cool is on the way, so be sure to check back in for that.

Enjoy!

Alternative, RnB | Joel Compass – Run (Video)

Posted by on October 18, 2013

This is the latest release from the newest Photo Finish artist Joel Compass – the video for his newest single, “Run”, was released a few days ago via Vevo. “Run” is the lead single from Joel’s forthcoming LP, tentatively scheduled for release during the first quarter of 2014. “Run” premiered on BBC Radio 1 during Zane Lowe’s show back in late September as his ‘Hottest Record.’

I’ve always had a soft spot for R&B music -I can thank John Legend for that- and perhaps it’s this predisposition which attracts me to Joel Compass so easily. But, even if R&B isn’t your go-to genre, this young artist has enough originality and crossover appeal to really leave a mark.

Enjoy the song and video and stay tuned for his LP coming soon!

Hip-Hop, RnB | Justin Bieber – All That Matters (Jeftuz Remix)

Posted by on October 17, 2013

Okay, so I know a lot of covers and remixes of this song have been exponentially blogged on every single site but for the sake of this one, this remix is going up. It’s of the best integration of Hip Hop and R&B that I’ve heard in awhile, and lets be honest, the original is pretty catchy to begin with. Check it.
