Zshatwa is just as interesting as her name is. Finding her music on SingersRoom.com, I did some more research on her. She is an independent artist that is garnering quite a bit of national respect. I don't know why her face reminds me of the 1990's Coko of SWV, but she has a real sweet sound. Zshatwa will be putting on an EP on April 17th, and hopefully MIC'D Up will have a link to that. Check out her single, "Me + You".
New York-based artist Kirby Lauryen has such a pure voice. She carries so much emotion and releases it with great precision. I came across the artist and at first I wasn't sure about introducing to you all. After I listened to an entire track, I knew you had to check her out. She is currently an independent artist garning all sorts of respect and acclaim for her gift. She is currently apart of a showcase series with one of my favorite neo-soul artist, Mr. Eric Roberson. She also has recently released an EP that I think you should download for the FREE.
While at work today, I've been listening to this mixtape that reminds me of a cross between Frank Ocean and The Weeknd but his voice adds a nice contrast. This cat Michael Francis has talent. This is another one of those mixtapes that you will be referring to when you list the top mixtapes of the year. He has a nice refreshing sound, and people have just been really giving this guy some burn. Even though you have to email chc@michaelfrancismusic.com to get the whole mixtape - you can listen to the entire thing on his website. (Click the hyperlink) ... It's title "Cold Heart Chronicles" really sets the material up nicely. I love when production and talent meet and collaborate to produce ART like this. I think you will enjoy it.
BJ The Chicago Kid is that guy. Repping his hometown Chicago, BJ shows us why Chicago produces some of the most talented artists with the greatest longevity and relevance (i.e. R. Kelly, Kanye West, and Common - just to name a few). This kid does NOT play around when it comes to his music. His voice is reminiscent of a little D'Angelo and Prince and is accompanied by a sound that is not easily forgetable. I mean he can rock, give you good ballad, and groove you too. He's an all around guy. I promise his latest EP Pineapple Now-Laters is worth every bit of a buy from iTunes. I buy music that I believe - and this dude... I believe! I can't wait until he gets the national and international boost that he needs. Promise you want to have this one in your collection! If you don't believe me - preview this "Good Lov'n" joint. One of my favorites off the project...
