Dumplings én China – Subtleties EP
Good music has the ability to guide us into self healing and connects us, in addition to moving us and serving as a soundtrack to our existence. However I come across gems like what I’m presenting today, I always feel a sense of gratefulness to be able to take in something generated entirely from the perspective of another creative. I could not stop moving when I first heard this fresh EP by upcoming New York based artist, Dumplings én China. The production features some clean, classically jazzed hip hop beats and bass which cradles an interesting flow. It is impossible to not bob my head from beginning to end! After…

Junglepussy Video – Nah
I woke this morning feeling like today would be a great one and the universe proves me right with all of the amazing energy coming my way. Also, the world has been blessed with a new visual from the “brown hottie with a body” herself, JP! Junglepussy is the current artist who I find myself continuously sharing with friends and acquaintances, itching to turn people on to her movement. Every time I do mention her to someone new, I get a similar reaction. They’re all shocked by the name and a comical discussion about it follows. Personally, I think her name is pure genius and the beautiful thing is that…

Greighwolfe – Black EP
The first song that I heard from the latest and what I mustered up as the very first EP from Greighwolfe had me HOT! No, I don’t mean that I was angry. I mean that in the same way that most of the music from Sade or The Weeknd makes me feel. That song was Hurt Me and it lead me to the rest of this brilliant project called the Black EP. Listening to this only a few times has lead me to put Greighwolfe in line with other great modern artists, such as Gary Clark Jr, who bring back the feel of good soul with elements of rock and…

a k u a – One’s Company EP
I should have shared this discovery months ago, but it’s never too late to have your world rocked by some stellar vibes. This is one of the most overlooked EPs of the year and I just don’t understand why this is, so, here I am with another ultra special musical delivery. Akua’s sound gives me a sense of some heavy other-worldly vibes, which we adore here on the froliC. Many of the visuals I found to go with this EP are just as ethereal, dark, and metaphoric as the songs themselves. I hope she gets to glow for more people soon, including myself, such as on a stage here in…

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

Project Feed: L.A. needs Vendors! (updated June 19th)
I’ll soon update this post with more details, but a friend of mine along with over forty other people (including myself and we’re growing!) will partake in a 2-Day fundraising event to feed the homeless residents of Los Angeles. This will be Project Feed’s very first festival here in Los Angeles and the people need all of the help we can get. We want artists and business owners of all sorts to partake in this event. I know that I’ve always wanted to contribute of something as beautiful and BIG as this will be and as with everything else this year, my dreams are coming closer. We are prepping a…

Danny Watts – Poetic Effusions
Take a gander through the ripples of my mind. Messenger Series Vol. 1 – Danny Watts This song is brilliant. I haven’t known much of anything about Danny Watts before now, besides his voice and intricate patterns of rhymes the delivers with it. I have been listening to this Messenger Series Vol. 1 for months because I feel it is so p e r f e c t and relatable as a human being. After watching this new visual for his song Poetic Effusions, it is simply my duty to pass it on to you.
