Mara Hruby - The Panties (Video)

I have a confession! I passed on Mara Hruby when I first saw her on bandcamp last year. Can't say why. Just did. But call it fate that I'd eventually take notice. Earlier this year, she found her way into my ear space via her video for Bob Marley's "Is This Love." Covering the massive tune with a soothing angelic vocal combined with an irresistible look - tall, lean and simply sexy, Mara is steadily working her way up the ranks of the romantic movement. Premiering today, she returns with another video from her debut, "From Her Eyes." "The Panties" is a cover of Mos Def's sultry banger of the same name, and in the video directed by Jesse Boykins , we are treated to a playful yet innocent tease of Mara's sensual side. As I watched it, I wish JBIII would've keep a clean focus on Mara, but for the sake of creative expression, I won't complain. Enjoy, and keep your eyes and ears open for more Mara Hruby. 

Andreya Triana - Draw The Stars (Video)

One of my favorite breakout artists from last year is Andreya Triana. Her jazzy, soulful textured debut "Lost Where I Belong" dropped back in September and it's one album that get nuff burn on the ipod. In the video above, she drops a beautiful acoustic version for the opening track off the album. Her producer Bonobo will be on tour in Tampa, at the Crowbar on Nov. 14th, and I'm hoping she'll be the special guest they mention on the bill. Peep the original of "Draw The Stars" below, and support the album if you have not yet. {PMOI}

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.

Andreya Triana - A Town Called Obsolete (Video)

Introducing the official video and second single from Andreya Triana's upcoming debut, Lost Where I Belong. Bonobo and Andreya combine forces again to bring beautiful music to the world. The Video for "A Town Called Obsolete" is very unique as it uses a view finder format to display visuals of a party taking place. I'm still not quite sure what's the meaning behind the song - guess I'm gonna have to give it a few listens. Either way, enjoy the great video and prepare for her album dropping August 23rd in the UK & Sept 7th in the US on Ninjatune Records.

The New UK Soul

I'm new to the musical sounds of Brighton, Uk talent, Andreya Triana, but I'm so glad I discovered her. Take Norah Jones' humility mix in a little of Corrine Bailey's humility and end with a dose of Alicia Keys subtlety and the results are one incredible artist. Check out the very first single produced by Bonobo from Ninja Tune's latest signing courtesy of juslikemusic. This single is officially out on December 14th, and the b-side will feature a Flying Lotus remix. Taken from her forthcoming debut album, which will come out on Ninja Tune next Spring.
