"Met her at Coachella, I went to see Jigga She went to see Z-Trip Perfect, I took a seat on the ice cold lawn She handed me a ice blue bong, whatever" - Frank Ocean "Novacane" One of the low key highlights of Friday's lineup is definitely Frank Ocean. Ocan is a singer-songwriter who dabbles in rapping sometimes. He started his career off ghostwriting for names like Bridget Kelly and the amazing John Legend, who happens to be one of my favorite singers. Ocean is a member of OFWGKTA (Odd Future) circa 2011 [...]

Ever since she arrived on the scene in 2006, Cassie Ventura, professionally known as Cassie , has unexpectedly garnered a cult online following. Beside her model looks, her glassy, detached voice is a producer's dream, as its limit is just ripe for studio tweaking trickery. She's gained so much goodwill on the strength of her only major hit to date, the stone cold classic "Me & U" , and a string of underperformed subsequent singles and leaks. After numerous delays and setbacks, the R&B ice princess is finally ready for a proper comeback. I hereby present you her [...]

"I'm Pablo Picasso, I'm an asshole. I'm Drake vs. Common - who cares? I'm Gil Scott-Herron I'm New Here. I'm Lenny Kravitz. I'm Lenny Kravitz." - Kool AD Brooklyn hipster pop duo Chairlift covered Beyonce's hit single 'Party' for Triple J with Das Racist's Kool AD acting as J. Cole. The band sounds great, even interloping 'Friends In Paris' . And can we talk about Caroline's vocals?? She sounded like equal parts Mariah and [...]
Love Me Now, When I'm Gone, Love Me None By Taylor K. Long For an emotional R&B singing moniker, Christopher Breaux aka Frank Ocean couldn't have done much better. Writers often use water metaphors – an ocean, in particular – to represent feelings, emotions, and hidden...
Esperanza Spalding will soon be dropping her next album RADIO MUSIC SOCIETY. Check out the brand new short film for the single, "Black Gold" featuring Algebra Blesset above... Official words from Ms. Spalding: "This song is singing to our African American heritage before slavery. Over the decades, so much of the strength in the African American community has seeded from resistance and endurance. I wanted to address the part of our heritage spanning back to pre-colonial Africa and the elements of Black pride that draw from our connection to our ancestors in their own [...]

Evelyn Mason and Jeremiah Klein make up the Vacouver-based R&B experiment, Evy Jane . Their soon to be released 123 on King Deluxe features two originally composed recordings and two reworks of each the numbers. The EP's title track finds itself nestled into a sub-terrain of Evelyn's mind-bending precision to effortlessly lay her words on gallantly gaping floating rhythm provided by the kinetics of Mr.Klein. 'SAYSO' also gets remix treatment from Taal Mala which is featured last on the release. The second track, 'Ohso', is an electrifying paradigm [...]

Here's a song by STORi in which she gives her take on Queen Latifah's "Just Another Day". It's a pretty smooth arrangement and I love the traces of electronic in this. Also listen to her "Crew Love" remix which made me realize how badly I need to stop singing to the Drake and The Weeknd collaboration in my car...

Contemporary/experimental R&B from Evelyn Mason and Jeremiah Klein alias Evy Jane outta «Vancoobo», Canada. Video directed by Jason C. Meyers.
A new video from R&B underdog BJ the Chicago Kid, teasing toward his forthcoming release, Pineapple Now-Laters . The Davy Greenberg-directed video matches BJ's down-to-earth sensibilities. The music, on the other hand, is where the real ambition lies. Between a smooth beat and killer vocals, I can't say much negative about this track other than that it's criminally short. / via /
