Eternal – Loraine James & TVSI
Loraine James and TVSI are two acclaimed electronic dance music producers that have converged to produce a spine tingling, mildly frenetic electronic meets bass EP. Superb!
Australia’s Allysha Joy creates loose, detached futuristic R&B, taking influences from neo soul and jazz. “Peace” is the lead single from her brand new “Torn: Tonic” full length album.
Gloss’ “Are You Okay?” blends a multitude of genres together including 80s synth pop, jazz fusion, and R&B. The EP was written over the course of the past year and a half exploring themes of miscommunication in relationships, rejection and growing with yourself.
West Philadelphia’s own Miles Ramone releases “Microdose, The EP”, nine songs that orbit around the idea of love and sexuality. Vibey!
