Love Dove February was some kind of month, wasn't it? Punxsutawney Phil was a real son of a gun this year, seeing his shadow and proclaiming another six weeks of winter. Plus I'm pretty sure I paid all my bills incorrectly on account of the ever elusive February 29th leap year day. Now it's March and from coast to coast you'll hear your friends exclaim "I can't believe it's MARCH already!!" Well it's true. March is here and all of us at Kick Kick Snare are happy as clams about it. For us it means a group field [...]
Cilla K. is back with a brand new album entitled "New World Lullabies." A futuristic blend of soul, funk, hip hop and electro sounds - an evolution in her artistic journey. The concept of the album was inspired by transitions to new society structures, and the different movements exposed across the globe. Cilla K tells us, "The album focuses on classic themes -feelings like Love and Joy will always be here to stay; "Lady" and "Paradise" are examples of that, but also the need to stay hopeful for a better life, a brighter future, this is what [...]

Words that are overused on this blog are probably 'gorgeous', 'sensual', 'sexy' and 'fragile'. The first three apply to Cilla K and Ntjam Rosie . But fragile, no. Both black singers have a French-colonial background (Guadaloupe, Cameroon) and they make gritty, urban music with futuristic touches. Three words that are very underused on this blog. Which is a bit of shame really, 'cause I'm into (modern) soul and funk as much as I'm into soft-sighing French blondes. Cilla K (pictured) worked with some big names in urban music, on her debut-album Fine Line is one track partly [...]
Artwork: Muris Fixon Here we have an Alternative,Indie Soul artist and producer based in New York. She goes by the name of Cilla K. She has a wonderful song by the name of "Evil Child"... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Check out a new one from Cilla K . " Evil Child " is full of soulfully crafted vocals singing about not being under a spell. With arrangements like this, she's obviously too busy casting them herself. A confidence beaming, still, with a subtle quality surrendering but not going out without being heard. The song features a verse by Jneiro Jarel and was produced by Junius Bervine from N.E.R.D. MP3: Evil Child (Feat. Jneiro Jarel) by [...]

You can peep out her first solo album Fine Line released earlier this year here . evilchild feat. jneiro jarel Purchase this song on iTunes. CILLA [...]
You were born in the West Indies and you're currently based in New York. You've clearly seen some of the world. How did each of these different places influence your sound? Yes that's true. I'm from the Caribbean, where people are usually from very mixed backgrounds. There's a very special feeling about the West Indies because you can hear sounds from the British, Spanish, Dutch and French islands. So growing up in the French islands I heard very different kinds of sounds. My mother was very fond of Jazz, but I also heard a lot [...]
Much as we may lean towards the big and bassy or digitally mutated sounds, we're suckers for a sweet soulful voice and so we've been loving an album we've come across recently by New York based French Caribbean singer Cilla K . With Philly producer / musician Junius Bervine ((Floetry, D'Angelo,Common,Pharell Williams) on the production, some of the beats have got a bigger bump than a pregnant woman with triplets but Cilla's vocals manage to keep them all on the smooth and jazzy road throughout and the Guadeloupe lilt on her accent [...]
Cilla K. is a "French West Indian vocalist and beatmaker" whose debut album, Fine Line, is a sleek yet edgy treat, a futuristic urban soundscape in which her beautiful vocals seem to float effortlessly. The MP3 version of the...
Cilla K., a French West Indian artist based in New York, is what I would best describe as an alternative soul/R & B artist, mixing elements of both genres along with jazz, electronica, modern pop, certain elements of '60s pop, and more. She cites artists from J Dilla to David Bowie as influences and does her best to create something eclectic. Her debut album, Fine Line , was released last month and showcases her mission to create a melting pot of genres. Of the album, she says, "At the beginning, I felt like this album had to be done [...]
Based in New York, Cilla K. worked with Junius Bervine from N.E.R.D and had David Patillo from Flow NY to produce her debut album "Fine Line". Her flow between genres in a single song is a fine line, flitting from Hip-Hop to Soul and back again within the blink of an eye, or from Jazz to R 'n' B in the beat of a heart. Her genre blending will no doubt lead to comparisons with Janelle Monae but they're two different elements, Cilla standing on her own with personal and heavy lyrics and the soul of Lauryn Hill. [...]

The weekly roundup of tracks returns in playlist form for your aural pleasure. Mp3: Beastie Boys - Sabotage (Alex Metric re-edit) Not too sure what the difference between a 're-edit' and a 'remix' is but regardless Alex Metric has been on fire this year does the 'Stylo' remix ring any bells? Anyway his turns his [...]
I'm not really a fan of most hip-hop or urban soul. There, I said it. And it's not really cause I don't like it as much as it's the sheer fact that a lot of it just isn't very interesting. It sounds the same, or it's too self-assuming, or it just doesn't strike me, which is why I really dig this chick's sound. CILLA K. is a vocalist, beat maker and songwriter based in New York, and she's a fucking good one. The only thing that my [extremely limited] knowledge of this style of music brings to mind [...]
There has been an inadequacy of soul music in our new generation, and for it to be rejuvenated through the alternative/indie genre's was titillating to say the least. Cilla K is a New York based artist who recently debuted a new album entitled Fine Line, full of alternative, jazz and soul influences. Cilla's voice has a classic almost dated tone, which is particularly easy to the ears. The way she riffs is quite unique, and her cool girl demeanor is polarized through tracks like Hallucination where [...]
Meet Cilla K. A vocalist, beat maker and songwriter based in New York who brings Indie Jazz and Soul influences together with her debut album Fine Line, available at iTunes here. Born in the French West Indies (Guadeloupe), Cilla brings a fresh sexy intelligence to the urban scene as proven with her [...]
