Louis Mattrs: Superman

Posted on by

0

I’m always a sucker for good music! As of yesterday, I think that I may have found my new favorite song for the next few months. The track is entitled, “Superman” and it’s from an artist by the name of Louis Mattrs who’s from Brighton, UK. His Slow Waves EP dropped a little under 2 months ago on November 27, 2015 and Superman is definitely my favorite cut!

Hope you enjoy the ear candy!

Adidas #SongsFromScratch

As I was organizing my desk and sorting through some papers I came across an old note with an asterisk that read, *All In – Mr. Carmack & Kehlani. I remember writing this down this past summer after hearing the song on a Soulection mix via Beats 1 radio. I decided to revisit the song today and I happened to come across this #SongsFromScratch video presented by Adidas Originals and Yours Truly Creative.

I’m always a fan of dope branded content! Here’s an inspiring glimpse of the creative process behind what it took to create Kehlani & Mr. Carmack’s “All In.”

Enjoy!

Puff has always been a polarizing figure for better or worse. Regardless of what we may or may not know, one thing remains apparent – his ambition, passion, and strive toward greatness is second to none!

Here’s a pretty inspiring behind the scenes documentary for his most recent project released earlier this month, “MMM.” A few tracks that caught my attention were, “WORK!N” (9:45) and “AUCT!ON” (11:40). I’ll be checking out the project in it’s entirety tomorrow morning. For now, enjoy the video!

Tori Kelly – Talk

When I first listened to Tori Kelly’s, Unbreakable Smile album on Spotify last month “Talk” was definitely the standout record that caught my attention. To be very specific, I fell in complete love with the bridge at 2:10 and 3:10…OMG…the instrumentation is so lush and beautiful! I must have played this song back to back to back about 20 times. We hope you do too! Shout out to Malay (@MalayHo) on the production.

Also, here’s a glimpse at her live rendition of Talk which is also just as good!

Where is Chantel McCrary?

A week or so ago I was putting together a playlist for my homegirl’s 80s -vs- 90s party taking place this Saturday. I happened to come across Zhané(s) classic, “Sending My Love” and I definitely had to add it to my playlist. I knew that I heard a rendition of this song somewhere else before. I just couldn’t put a finger on it.

For the last week, I had this tune playing in my head. I was trying to figure out, “Where else have I heard this song before?” I knew that I heard it on soundcloud a few years ago. I also knew that it was re-worked by a young female vocalist. As I sat down at my computer a few minutes ago, I starting to recall a list of names from my memory. I started by looking at my spreadsheet of emerging female vocalists that I’ve compiled over the last 3 years. Nothing. As I started to tune into my intuition, I began to search for names within the parameters of what I felt was close to my target: Chanel, Shanel, Shantel. I finally went to YouTube and typed in the song title, “Sending My Love” and added a “Ch”. Wha-laa…there it was…Chantel, “Sending My Love.” It’s been 3 years since I saw the video and it’s still pretty dope and very well shot!

After some additional research (perusing through the comments), I see that her full name is Chantel McCrary. Considering that I haven’t heard any new music from her in a while, I wonder what she’s currently up to? She’s definitely talented and I would love to know what she’s working on. I guess we’ll find out soon!
