This week’s Listenin’ Booth includes music from the English singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and record producer from London, James Blake. Plus four other essential tunes you should be listening to right now.
Coming Back – James Blake featuring SZA
UK singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist James Blake releases his sixth studio album, “Friends That Break Your Heart.” This album continues down the familiar ethereal, introspective path with which James Blake’s music has become synonymous.
Far Away – Yebba featuring A$AP Rocky
Taken from “Dawn”, the debut album from Neo Soul and Pop sensation Yebba, “Far Away” is both stylistically and musically a very evocative single, produced by Grammy winning producer, Mark Ronson.
Beside April – BADBADNOTGOOD featuring Karriem Riggins and Arthur Verocai
Canadian instrumental jazz and hip-hop group, BADBADNOTGOOD have just released “Talking Memory”, an album that stretches form and avoids convention; it’s theatrical, genre-averse and caught between shimmery optimism and bursting intensity.
Barcade – Atmosphere featuring Aesop Rock and MF DOOM
Dark, gritty and lyrically astute, “Barcade” is lifted from the brand new Atmosphere full length album, “Word”.
Believe in Ghost! is a New York City trio whose sound is an amalgamation of three musicians upbringings meshing soul and funk, folk and pop, hip-hop and punk.
