Loe – Blue Moon
Loe is back with a new complete project called Blue Moon, in collaboration with Nedarb Nagrom. This is the first one I have heard from her since her debut helloe. While she has been unveiling recent songs on her soundcloud, I am ecstatic to hear something complete from this intriguing vocalist, once again. She has her own way of beautifully singing somber songs with a smooth approach that does not leave me feeling sad, but entranced in her words. This one also features other artists like Little Pain, J Trauma, Tama Guicci, and others you may or may not have heard. Some of my favorites from this project are Fria,…

Alexandria – Promise EP
I agree with the currently common idea that the massive catering for the soulful r&b junkie has been lacking for a few years now, but anyone who claims that r&b is done is tragically sleeping on artists like the ever-refreshing Alexandria. Her latest EP Promise is pure quality, filled with her stunning high notes and the sort of jams that give me the warm feeling that old school does, to this day. My favorites are You Ain’t Gotta Lie and Fly. Check it out for yourself below and enjoy. alexandriaofficial.bandcamp.com facebook.com/likealexandria twitter.com/Thee_Alexandria

Jhene Aiko – B’s + H’s Visual
While she has yet to make an official announcement of her new LP, nor an EP, Jhené Aiko’s latest song B’s & H’s ignites hope that we will be receiving one, in the near future. The flame grows even more with the new music video. As the world’s many perceptions of women is being called to attention, while also shifting, you will notice there is a new aspect of this topic being focused on, frequently. Online and in person, energy is high with debates related to the subject. As a woman, I find it exciting to have a slew of artists reflecting their angles on such topics in their art.…

Etta Bond – #bad4me, 4U, & Met Him Visuals
There has not been a single Etta Bond that I have not felt to my core, in the smoothest way. Since baring her truths and shedding light to the ongoing discussion about gender roles and the liberation of women through her jam Seen & Never Heard, Etta has been on a wave. Really, she has been dropping gems on us at random since last year, but we now have a few of them, back to back. The soothing #bad4me is the third of the slew of new songs she’s unveiled over the past two months, with stimulating imagery to match. Each is a collaboration with random producers she called for…

Anna Wise – BitchSlut Visual
My ears first heard the wonderful jam that is BitchSlut, back at Anna Wise’s first solo performance at Low End Theory club, late last year. I brought a friend along who had not heard her group Sonnymoon‘s music before, and this friend easily fell in love with the vibes that were provided that night. I also anticipated the moment that would allow me access to this particular song, whenever, especially before a night out with my crew. It is fun way to present such a perspective. The second single from the songstress’ upcoming project now has an official music video, which was shot on an iPhone 6. The pool scenes…
