JAMES BAY

JAMES BAY

 

No I didn't just select James Bay because he has the combo that tends to make me weak in the knees:  British + long hair + guitar = MELT

 

 Bay is an opening act that's going to be a headliner in the near future, I can just sense it. Half of the reason is that he's opening for Hozier and the other half is that he's a gifted singer songwriter that hushes crowds with his ballads. I was mesmerized and this is the song that fully won me over.

Enjoy.

Jessie Ware

JESSIE WARE

 

When just one song can capture my attention for three days straight on repeat well shit I better highlight this artist! Jessie Ware is best known for Wildest Moments off her album Devotion, but I'm clearly obsessed with this Brit's song Say You Love Me. The part of the song that just gives me the goosies is as follows "want to feel burning flames when you say my name, want to feel passion flow into my bones like blood through my veins" and it's probably because I want the same thing. Seriously.

No, seriously.

 

Also check out this Instagram shout out from THE Sam Smith about Jessie Ware.

 Street Cred - CHECK.

 

 

 

 

Alright now download Jessie Ware's Tough Love and Devotion albums, but first check out the song that currently is my obsession Say You Love Me.

 

 

ZZ Ward

 

ZZ WARD

 

What Bridget Jones's Dairy and a gallon of ice cream is for most girls, ZZ Ward's Til the Casket Drops was for me. Every track I related to, the entire album I had on repeat for a month; it was my heartbreak therapy. Seriously.

 

Ward has a way of expressing how vulnerable she is but in a bad ass kinda way, sometimes equipped with a harmonica and most of the time rockin' a fedora. ZZ's sassy, fierce, jazzy, edgy and soulful. Maybe I should have highlighted Cryin' Wolf which features Kendrick Lamar or most well-known Put the Gun Down, but I decided to share my personal therapy favorite Lil' Darlin'. Enjoy.

 

 

Niykee Heaton

NIYKEE HEATON

 

 

Niykee Heaton's EP Bad Intentions was released yesterday (September 24, 2014) and her days of crooning graphically sexual lyrics by artists like Ty Dolla $ign, Mike Posner, Lil Wayne and Drake on YouTube are now over. She got swooped up by All Def Music (Russell Simons and Steve Rifkind) and something tells me that the artists she once covered will now have her featured or vice versa.

 

Take a listen.

Serena Ryder

SERENA RYDER

 

If you are in the mood for something a little sassy, sultry and raspy then check out Serena Ryder. She's most known for her song "Stompa", but I happen to be very partial to "For You" off her latest album Harmony.  She has a laundry list of accolades, hardware and albums but all you need to do is watch the video and get goosies alongside me.

Enjoy.
