Cover, Hip-Hop, Rap, RnB, Videos | A$AP Rocky – F*ckin’ Problems (Rendition) by SoMo

Posted by on December 9, 2012

I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word f*ck said as many times by one person in a span of 4 minutes than in the video above. Although, the ugliness of the word is cancelled out by Joseph SoMo’s beautiful voice. For this week’s “SoMo Sunday,” SoMo takes on one of the more…explicit rap songs of 2012. He transforms it into something smooth and soulful as per usual. I’ve come to expect terrific covers from SoMo, even with YouTube making it possible for everyone and their Mac-Book-owning-mother to cover a mainstream song, Joseph SoMo finds a way to stand out.

RnB, Trap | Frank Ocean – Pink Matter (Sivey Slow Burn Edit)

Posted by on November 29, 2012

Sex, that’s the best word I can use to describe this edit. Frank Ocean’s voice is already porn to most women as I imagine, so to have a smooth, chill edit like this just lightly touches that soft spot in your brain to get down. Well? What are you waiting for?

Pop, RnB, Videos | Sebastian Mikael – “Gonna Be Real” & “What’s Going On” [Live Acoustic Performance]

Remember that incredibly talented singer/songwriter/musician who attended Berklee College of Music and went by the name “De-Lor“? Well that young star has gone through a few small transformations in the past several months, including a brand repositioning move, now performing under his birth name, Sebastian Mikael. More significantly, Sebastian has found himself in the spotlight after inking a deal with Slip-N-Slide Records, an imprint of Sony’s Epic Records. Prepping for his 2013 full length studio debut, the Swedish sensation provides an acoustic treatment for “Gonna Be Real” and “What’s Going On” live at Brooklyn’s Converse Rubber Tracks Studios. Both yet to be released, “Gonna Be Real” is an original track, produced by the Grammy Award Winner, Jim Jonsin, who I hear has been cooking up some heat with Sebastian and the second track is a soulful cover of Stevie Wonder’s “What’s Going On”. In addition to working with Jim Jonsin, Sebastian has been rumored to be in sessions with Rico Love and other notable producers, artists, and songwriters.

Sebastian has the ability to break into various genre’s, but for me, his impassioned sound is what makes these acoustic performances so captivating. With that being said, I can GUARANTEE he has a variety of HEAT coming very soon.

RnB | Inc. – 5 Days

Posted by on November 14, 2012

An illusive mystique surrounds the LA-based brothers known as Inc. Andrew and Daniel Aged both carry an ample wealth of experience having spent several years playing, recording and touring with names such as 50 Cent, Elton John, and Pharrell Williams among others. Gaining only what I can imagine to be a superb vault of internal perspective, they started recording and mixing their forthcoming album No World in the winter of 2011, and is set to debut February 19th 2013 on 4AD. After first hearing 5 Days I immediately thought back to this. Fine wine measured in time.

Chill, Hip-Hop, Indie, Mainstream Remix, RnB, Videos | SoMo – Don’t Judge Me

Posted by on November 12, 2012

Often times I post music that is so breathtaking that I find myself at a loss for words. Being a blogger, that is slightly problematic. I’m having trouble forming words to describe how I feel about this song. I know that’ll probably get me comments like “GET OFF HIS DICK” from all of you internet trolls, but I’ll just go listen to this song to ease the pain. I swear, at one point, when he mixed one of my all time favorite songs “Crawl” into this mix, I got a bit emotional, reminiscing on how beautiful Ri’ and Chris’ love was, and all the past relationships I’ve messed up. Here I am, getting all emotional n shit. Don’t judge me.

Pop, RnB, Videos | Jon Bellion – Paper Planes

Posted by on October 1, 2012

One thing I enjoy about blogging is venturing into genre’s I wouldn’t typically dabble with. Since I was first introduced to Jon Bellion, I have tried and tried to pinpoint an artist to compare him to. I’m yet to find one. He is too unique.

Long Island native, Jon Bellion prepares for his debut project under his newly inked deal with Visionary Music Group.   After sparking a legitimate amount of buzz with his cover of Drake’s “The Motto“, Bellion returns to the music he was previously accustomed to creating; original compositions.  Written and produced by the 21 year old himself, Jon exercises all of his musical talents, while his distinguished voice is really what shines brightest. Camera work credited to VMG’s own, GRVTY, who follows Jon through the winding wilderness in a slow motion shoot. Stay tuned as Translations Through Speakers  will be dropping free later this fall.
