Smooth RnB production and boldly husky vocals make for a uniquely distinct sound, as Edric Barr kicks off his brand new 2025 album 100 Kisses.
Los Angeles--California--USA
Inspired by the likes of Tupac and Eazy E as much so as Fabulous and Michael Jackson, LA ENVY’s fascination with the technical aspects of the artform, from lyrical ability, cadence, conscious bars and visual awareness, has naturally helped set him apart from the vast majority of modern artists.
Prior to the release of his highly-anticipated debut album, we caught an interview with songwriter and vocalist $ace, to find out more about the unrivalled emotion and depth of his first single Sincerely, My Love, as well as his plans for the year ahead. Here’s the conversation in full.
Featuring unmistakable vocals at the forefront, sharp bars and short lines both snappy and uplifting, Go Out And Get It acts as a nostalgic ode to the ever-lasting value of motivation and ambition as a means to achieving a better life.
Laying down a mysterious chemistry of elements – a dash of grunge, conceptual intrigue, cinematic fragments, hip hop and indie rock – Razrfish lets concept and mood guide the way, for the compelling theatrical single Howl at the Moon.
Creatively bridging the gap between nostalgic reggae and the contemporary hip hop and alternative pop realms, Jah Sent delivers a five-track EP of originals, which prove as diverse as they are heartfelt and melodically engaging.
Ambient melodic originality and with thousands of listeners to back up its appeal, miso808 delivers an enchanting and deeply soothing collection of tracks, with the layered harmonies and stylistic freedom of bedtime stories mp3.
LA alt-pop duo Royal She deliver an explosive alternative pop track for their latest offering. Employing contrast quite masterfully, Karma pours into the room by way of its quickly catchy, snappy and nineties-esque hook – this looping statement of ‘Bitch, you gon’ get what you deserve’, backed by an acoustic guitar sound and a clap rhythm.
Somewhat free-flowing in its verse-setup and tune, Manic Pixie Nightmare delivers the familiar line ‘Not all who wander are lost, but all who are lost wander’, repeatedly throughout. It’s a resounding moment, but elsewhere the song follows its own unpredictable melody and fragments of reflection on losing a phone and subsequently seeking to break free from societal expectations.
Soft rock to shoegaze stylings with a surfer-esque sense of joyful possibility – these are the bright and beautiful qualities that light up the otherwise contemplative but calming lyrical sentiments of Longplayer’s latest single I Saw You Turning Around.
“I consider myself a pretty ambitious guy, but when it comes to my music, if I can even get a few people to listen, then my job is done.”
“I believe, as artists continue social consciousness, the genre will continue to expand. And let’s face it, consciousness is high vibration.”
