Irma Thomas' lost early-70s soul sides After relocating from New Orleans to Los Angeles, soul queen Irma Thomas largely disappeared from public view for a few years. But a series of singles produced by Jerry Williams (a.k.a. Swamp Dogg) on the indieCanyon, Roker and Fungus labels led to this eight-track release in 1973. Williams had proven himself a talented musician and producer, and in the latter capacity he leaves behind the absurdist humor of his own records to bring Thomas a helping of Southern soul and West Coast funk. Thomas' new material, much of [...]
The scary this is, Miguel looks good with his shirt off too. Posted by @clakbs
"Wus Good / Curious" is so densely layered that it constantly keeps you coming back for more. It starts off like any good make-out session, slow and sweet, and quickly turns into something unexpected, yet completely warranted by the end. Party Omo remains relatively anonymous on the interweb, but there is a cryptic Pinterest account as well as Twitter handle with over 3,000 followers and only four tweets. Now that's swag. There's rtumours that Party Omo is fucking with the OVO gang, which seems like a pretty good fit if you consider his/her [...]
Here is 8prn 's take on Outkast's anthemic pop classic "Roses". This may be the dopest remix we have heard from Patrick Holland so far... That said–he has a handful choice cuts in his remix discography already. ( His adaptation of Evy Jane's "nothing so great" is a personal favourite.) If you are feeling 8prn 's steez, put on his 'escape' mix; it's fresh out of the oven: You can catch him tomorrow night in Vancouver at Fortune. He [...]

Abel Tesfaye shared this brand new track via Twitter yesterday, check out Kiss Land below.
Spontaneous and a man of few words, The Weeknd is still one of the more mysterious talents to arrive in the industry. He continues filling our souls with druggy ballads with the release of "Kiss Land"(the single) a 7 minute double feature that contains familiar subject matter, but that doesn't distill it's potency. His forthcoming album "Kissland" has no date, but pray to hipster Baby Jesus sleeping soundly in his Givenchy cradle that it'll be hitting our ears soon. The post The Weeknd - Kiss Land appeared first on TAPEDECK .
I'm into it. The new song from Abel Tesfaye aka The Weeknd is a charring piece of starkly seductive and smooth R&B. Much in the same vein of Echoes of Silence, "Kiss Land" suggests The Weeknd's new album due later this year will follow suit in this sound. Listen to "Kiss Land" below: Stream: The Weeknd - "Kiss Land" |
Terius Nash aka The-Dream , has unleashed the visual for IV Play , the title track to his highly anticipated album.

IV Play drops on May 28th on Def Jam Recordings, Peep the tracklist which features most of Destiny's Child, Blue Ivy's dad and Gary Clark Jr. [...]

Retro-soul man Mayer Hawthorne is set to release a LP coming this July titled Where Does This Door Go? Here's the first single from that album, "Her Favorite Song" featuring none other than Jessie Ware , who is one of my favorites from the UK right now. This soul/funk/bossa nova influenced track is quite smooth, as Hawthorne croons about a lonely lady making her escape with her 'favorite song'. That lonely girl would be played by Ms. Ware, who says very little words on this track - but in this case, less is more! Have a [...]
MOKO, a 21 year old soul singer from New Cross, London offers up a proper debut track (she only uploaded her first song to Soundcloud 8 weeks ago!) in the form of the early 902s house/school of Whitney Houston gospel-informed track "Hand On Heart". MOKO ( Soundcloud ) Rating 8.3
This British singer/songwriter from London goes by the name of Phoenix Martins and got rather interested when I started reading the brief : "she is set to release her debut single 'Heartstrings,'on 17th June 2013. To date she has supported and worked with artists including The Noisettes, Fife Dangerfield and Ebony Bones to just name a few...". A little bio and insight : A natural live performer, Phoenix has been singing since the age of seven, when her and her cousin would charge family members fifty pence each to see them sing everything [...]
Amantes do R&B contemporâneo precisam conhecer o Joel Compass , londrino de 19 anos que, além de cantor e compositor, também produz as próprias canções e já planeja trabalhar com músicos mais experientes assim que possível . É impossível não lembrar da melancolia de The Weeknd , dos sentimentos distorcidos de Frank Ocean e das batidas fortes de Drake , principalmente em "Fucked Up", do EP Astronaut , primeiro trabalho de Joel a ser lançado ainda em julho desse ano pela Black Butter Records.
