After the Rainy Milo’s sultry ‘interlude’ we put you on last year, more goodness is emerging from the South London collective, Last Night In Paris. Joshua Collard, singer (and rapper according to his Youtube channel) offers up his own interlude.
Melodic R’n'B ivories follow Collard’s womanising voice, as he sings proudly of his girl. Definitely got the ladies with this one, I think. Coming off the forthcoming Off The Come Close EP. Look out for this crew, seem to have something a lil’ special.
Roses Gabor – young female songstress who uses London as her roots, but has shared a fair amount of stages, singing alongside the likes of Gorillaz all across the world. And of course who could forget last year’s summer tune with SBTRKT ‘Pharoahs‘.
With very little of her own solo material floating around the interwebs, it was perfect timing for Gabor to release her first official mixtape. Entitled The Wonderful World of Roses Gabor, going by the mixtape, I assume her world is full of partying, dancing and more partying. With fall to floor beats, dance samples and instrumentals provided from Hudson Mohawke, Redlight, Dizzee Rascal, Mac Band and Dead Prez, what else is there to think other than… party!
Great pre-shoobz music… stream below and download.
Although the album, Purple Naked Ladies was released digitally at the back end of last year, this week it received the physical status.
To coincide with this release date, The Internet unveils a bonus track and a documentary about the making of the album. Bonus track or not, it’s definitely fits in with the rest of the project – soulful, funked out R’n'B.
Watch up top for the pair’s personal thoughts on the album, their favourite tracks, Quadron and more.
Vince returns with a very different visual affair from his Smother Me acoustic outing he last blessed us with. This time bravely venturing down the wildly stylish and sexy road, whilst still demonstrating his raw vocal talent and range. The song was written by Vince Kidd, The Royal Palms and Leon Jackson and serves a slice of sultry smooth R’n’B pie. The video was produced by De La Muerte, directed by Debbie Scanlan and Edited by Liz Adams.
New visual offering from the Swansea lads, signed to Modeselektor operated label 50Weapons. This chilled lo-fi gem comes from their debut album They!Live, a collection of Berlin inspired, UK influenced Detroit- and Dub-Techno, UK Funky, Deep House, Tech House tracks all recorded in Berlin between late August and early November 2011. Melodies and soundscapes going hand in hand with gold-panda-esque pads and ambient vocal under-dubbing courtesy of Abigail Wyles. Perfect post-work-wave. You can listen to snippets of the other album tracks and pick up your copy over here.
Despite her ‘SoKo is dead’ episode that played out back in 2009 via Myspace, the Bordeaux chanteuse is back with an expectant album next month.
First Love Never Dies is an affable caring, wistful dream. Genuine sentiment is dispensed via SoKo’s husky, slighty accented voice and even more so with the cute visuals to accompany the track. The home movie feel video was also directed by SoKo herself and actor Matthew Gray Gubler. How cute are these kids..
On Saturday 21st January, the PinBoard team headed down to the cool corner of Camden, London – Koko to be precise for Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Awards 2012, which was a stellar night of great music – review coming soon.
Whilst there, we were blown away by 15 year old singer J’Danna from South London who sang a tribute live. We were amazed by her rendition of the Gill Scott Heron original and the tender yet mature control over her future soul voice. Floating over the deep two step production works perfectly and gives a new lease of life to the 1974 classic.
Not much more is known about the youngster, other than she has been freshly signed to hip hop collective’s 2Morrow’s Victory’s own label. We will keep watch, of course. Listen and download below.
