Essentials: “Home” – MOONZz and SACHI

Coming off the success of her first single of 2017, “Navigator”, MOONZz returns with a reimagined version, as New Zealand producers SACHI give the single a poolside, luscious vibe. “To feel at home with someone is beautifully rare.

Essentials: “Anywhere You Want To Go” – Marvel Years

The latest track produced by Marvel Years, “Anywhere You Want To Go,” hits hard with a guitar heavy intro and keeps it nice and funky with a 60s keyboard beat. The melody transitions as the track progresses, visiting different genres such as rock, soul and retro-funk. The vocals bring a hip hop essence, proving that this track [continued]

Mixtape Review: Idiocentric – Wilsonn

Australian producer Wilsonn dropped his bootleg mixtape, Idiocentric, last week. The process of how he creates his tracks sets him apart from other producers; instead of adding a new beat or melody to a track, Wilsonn takes instrumental tracks and adds his own vocals and melodies. This adds a completely new dynamic to the original track, as [continued]
Essentials: “9 (After Coachella) ft. MØ and SOPHIE [KRANE Remix]” – Cashmere Cat

In his remix of Cashmere Cat’s “9 (After Coachella) ft. MØ & SOPHIE”, KRANE crawls into my head and fixes most of my issues with the original. He builds off its best melodic iteration, which only appears at the end, and smooths out the rhythmic progression so there aren’t any jolting stops or jarringly sharp [continued]

Do The #NotEnoughChallenge With Lido

Keith Sweat, Janet Jackson, Lido. What do they have in common? Three words: NEW JACK SWING. Developed in the black New York club scene, this genre was en vogue from the late 80s to early 90s, and is completely underused in modern music. Artists like Bruno Mars have incorporated New Jack Swing recently, but it’s [continued]

ICYMI: Watch The Visual Album from Chicago Queen Shea Couleé

Days before the finale of Ru Paul’s Drag Race Season 9, finalist Shea Couleé dropped a three-track EP titled Couleé-D. Visuals produced by Chicago’s own VAM Studio accompanied each track, all of which are—to quote the queen herself—damn near sinful. The first track, “Ride,” features vocals that make my body melt. Couleé’s sultry chords over the laid back bass line [continued]
