Sarah White - Space Madness

Right around the latter part of 08', my knowledge of Minneapolis native, Sarah White was formed. The ill remix of "Fade" by J Todd got me hip to her vibe very quickly. I eventually copped the album, Hiding Blind - which was good, but a lot different from the single. Even still, the album displayed the work of an artist who's not afraid to experiment with a plethora of sounds. 

Three years later, Miss. White is back with her latest, Space Madness - a more cohesive style project that blends entrancing soul and electronic vibes which showcase Miss. White's vocal and songwriting abilities to a greater degree. With features from up and coming soul crooner, Nicholas Ryan Gant and Cecilia Stalin and production from Rico Simon Mendez (a.k.a. DJ Don Cuco), PoLo (PapaJazz), Teddy G and additional productions from Hadyn, Space Madness could be the record that gets her the attention she deserves. And to anyone not yet  familiar with her work, I believe Space Madness serves as a great introduction.

Minneapolis-born jazz singer and composer, José James is again taking on a new direction with his music. From his 08' traditional jazz debut The Dreamer to his more experimental sophomore project BlackMagic (2010), Jose doesn't seem to stick to any format. This video clearly illustrates what he is capable of and fans can only expect the smooth baritone crooner to deliver another record of varied appeal to the market. Currently, his latest single, Trouble is only available overseas. Not sure when it will hit the states, but when it does, make sure to support. Also, here's another gem entitled "Vicadin" he shared via his soundcloud page.
