Canine Teeth – Thunderstorms ft. Dominic Robinson
Since The Weeknd first dropped, you might have noticed the consciousness of darker r&b rise up. Spooky Black is another amazing example of this. I’ve recently been introduced to yet another perspective with this beautiful project started by Canine Teeth’s Erik Anderson. The first single from this collaborative project, Thunderstorm suits its title with some MUST hear production. Thunderstorm is a hypnotic blend of electronic sounds with some smooth and classic, yet brooding r&B vocals provided by Dominic Robinson. It’s a perfect showcase to the rest of the first project by Canine Teeth, Leviathan, which will be available digitally on DRKArts, August 5, 2014. Follow the links for more on…

Amatus – Broken Compass
I usually feature music that I come across on my own, but really good music has been finding me as well. It’s like having a cupcake walk up to my door, ring the bell, then being able to indulge in that cupcake forever. Such is the case with this talented Brooklyn based artist I’m listening to named Amatus! She recently released a project called Broken Compass. You can stream it here and/or download it by following the bandcamp link I’ve listed below. I’ve also provided the DOPE new video for her lead single, Messin. The concept is very clever and relevant to the way we get along through life. Do…

Malia EP
New soul goddess alert! I already look forward to hearing more from Malia’s gorgeous, soothing voice! The sensuousness of the opening song Satisfaction makes me want to vibe out in a dark room with some candles and maybe a few loved ones. I can imagine her live set as something similar. The messages of growth and enlightenment on this project are perfectly crafted and this excites me. Dull Aches has me locked in pretty tight. The project also features a collaboration with The Internet. Take a listen, fall in love, and follow the links for more on Malia. maliavibes.com facebook.com/MaliaVibes

Tiffany Gouche – Fantasy EP
I caught myself staring at the cover art for this project for a while. I don’t know the artist, but I have to find out. I’ll also be bumping this EP for the remainder of summer, and the year. I loved this beautiful project even more after my second listen. There’s always something about the second listen that really hooks you onto something, I notice. The first one turns your head but it’s that replay that gets you to fall in love. The entire EP, from beginning to end is pure, fresh r&b genius to me. The bass on some of these songs is just amazing! Enjoy!

This is (kindA) what I’m up to noW.
I realized that I have not written a full blog post on myself lately. It’s been fulfilling to share my lessons here, even though it is a blind exchange. Every concrete thing I would want to write and express about my current experience is still in progress. I don’t like to talk too specifically about what I’m getting into because the things are always changing shape before completion. I will share that I have been doing a lot of self-defining writing lately. I see myself clearer than ever, so a lot of wonderful messages are escaping me. Besides the poetry I have been writing, I am gradually working on the…

Allan Kingdom – Future Memoirs
Delivering some more NEW waves! I have been listening to Future Memoirs for a few days now, and it feels perfect to add to my growing list of music here on the frolic. The Spooky Black feature is what led me to this and other previous and equally stunning EPs by Minnesota native Allan Kingdom. Their collaboration on Wavey is one of my favorites, besides Evergreens, Souls, Famines, and Context, which all add a flavor to this rare sound. I LOVE the production on this project. Some of the sounds, when lined with his flow is really interesting and awesome! His amazing production skills and flow grants a high place…
