MP3: Jesse Boykins III – ‘Perfect Blues’ (Prod. by Gora Suo)

Posted In Electronic,New Music,Soul by

Probably the best thing about the Red Bull Music Academy is that at the end of the experience, we (the hungry music consumers) get to enjoy the fruits of genuine experimentation and collaboration. Take ‘Perfect Blues’ from Jesse Boykins III as an example – during his time at RBMA in Madrid last November he teamed up with Gora Suo, an 18 year old producer from Germany and produced this amalgamation of styles.

While I personally do favour Boykins more Soulful explorations, his voice seldom sounds less than stellar. Credit to Suo too, it’s a diverse sounding production he’s crafted here – the inclusion of hand claps, sci-fi synths and a deeply resonate bass drone makes for an interesting listen.

‘Perfect Blues’ is one of many “happy accidents and magical moments that happened during the Red Bull Music Academy” in 2011, this along with a whole host of other songs will be included in a double CD compilation entitled Various Assets – Not for Sale – due out February 24th.
