NØVE – Bang Bang

NoveThe melody on this is the hook for me.   It’s a soul / R&B electronic pop track along the lines of The Weekend.

About this song

LA-based alt/R&B artist NØVE will release his new EP Dark Paradise this summer. Bang Bang is the 3rd single from the EP, following Taboo and Trigger. The EP was produced by Johnny What (one third of the LA-based electro pop group BRAVES), and combines electronic sounds with ominous vocals and impactful beats. With a dark past in his rear view, NØVE’s music tells the stories of a “drug war” veteran growing up in the illusive dark paradise of Venice.

Oktavian – Truth Hurts

OktavianSome synth ducking R&B is just what I wanted to hear today.  Track is produced by Xela and has some delicious harmonies.
