Darla Jade & Nico de Andrea – Ghost in Me

Heart break vocal over a bed of organic and synthetic textures. The piano and vocal are the backbone of the track that is further enhanced by Nico and his other worldly sonics. The production places the track into more of an electronic vibe with more depth. The instrumentation really highlights the sadness of the track and helps to propel it. Of course Darla’s voice is sad as it is romantic.

Goodzie – Goodbye

Put simply, this track has a lovely melody. It has that melancholy flavor I love and the beat is solid. Production cranks up the energy with an interesting break around the 30 second mark before landing into the chorus. The lyrics seem to mark an end of a relationship sung from both perspectives. It has a mystery to it as well, since the listener is not given the full picture of what has transpired previously.

thom.ko – Confusion

Indie Pop / R&B tune infused with some Deep house feeling. The atmosphere is easygoing and rolls along a steady beat that picks up with some hats and a solid baseline. I like the vocalist here and how he slides around in the atmosphere to tell his tale. It’s a mix of elements in all the right places. The 21 year old singer-songwriter currently calls Los Angeles, California home.
