RO is a dynamic versatile force on their new release Stranger. Refreshingly stylistic and untamed by formality, the artist can go from soulful R&B to rap effectively. Though the release proceeds without caution, it all makes sense despite its ambiguity. In that way in that way the single recalls an influence of Lauryn Hill or Erykah Badu reimagining their style with an added trip hop influece. The result is captivating and undeniably infectious.

There’s a haunting appeal to M Romance, the new single from REXEN. The ghost of Nick Drake takes his Bossa Nova phase head-on within this intriguing composition. The blend works well and offers some fresh aura to the indie folk canon. We’re super into it.

We love the nostalgic tension heard on red disgusting, the new single from bliss abyss. Shoegaze and 80s alternative both have a stake in this vibe. Stylistically we hear the influence of The Replacements or The Pixies mixed with a late nineties emo aura. That’s a cool blend.
