Andreya Triana - Lost Where I Belong

The debut album by UK's latest soul sensation, Andreya Triana is now available. I got my copy last night via her label - Ninjatune's site. Since then, I've been absorbing the short but sweet melodic sounds of the album. And although short, Andreya packs it with her haunting soulful tone backed by her talented producer, Bonobo. My introduction came via the ill "Tea Leaf Dancer" by Flying Lotus, but I didn't really didn't take note until I heard the single "Lost Where I Belong." She had me open from that day forward. Now it's your turn to get wrapped up in her vibe. Peep the gems below. "Draw The Stars" is being giving away via itunes for a limited time, so go for yours. I encourage all to support the album in it's entirety. It's worth your hard earned money. All the best to Andreya. Thank you for your gift of music.

Vibe of The Day: Alison Carney

Released in April of 2008, The EP by Washington, DC native Alison Carney gets mad love by me today. To be quite honest, I don't remember exactly when I jumped on the record, but following my last Episode of WSLE Soundscape Radio I had to give the joint a proper spin. The 5 song EP is straight bananas! Alison's soft angelic tone wraps around beautiful melodies, warm rhythms and a head nodder that ignites a memorable mood and time within the listener. Alison is definitely an artist to place on your "one to watch" list. Peep the mellow and slight acoustic vibe of "More Than" below. Then check her latest single featured beneath that, "Japanese Candy" (2010) which has Alison rocking a funky electro, soul hop kind of vibe. Support good music, and stay tuned for more from this incredible young lady.

The Bilal - Moovmnt Interview (Video)

I had the pleasure back in late 01' to have seen the man known as Bilal in concert at a venue in ATL. Dude had the crowd going when he sang "Sometimes," and I knew outside of his incredible debut, First Born Second being the smash that it was and still is, dude was about to set a blaze in the music industry. Since that time, Bilal has gone through a serious phase in his life and he discusses it with the crew over at Moovmnt. The interview is a little over 18 mins, but it's very compelling and moving, and you get a personal feeling about this zany yet intriguing character an artist. His new album, Airtight's Revenge is due out next month on the 14, and is available now for pre-order via Amazon. Respect and all the best to Bilal.
