WNDR - "Let It Out" (feat. Jordan King)

September 22, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Electronic

WNDR has revealed his new single, ‘Let It Out’ ft. vocals from rising UK R&B artist Jordan King.

The single further showcases WNDR’s production prowess, following the release of his previous tracks ‘Human’ and ‘Medicine’ (the latter having achieved over 3.85 million streams on Spotify).

Already known as ‘the producer’s producer’, WNDR is far from a regular up-and-coming electronic artist. At just 26, he’s already got a decade of solid production work under his belt, and the last two years have seen him carving his own niche in the Norwegian club scene - from heavy 808 drum patterns and intuitive bass lines, to his unique chord progressions and instantly memorable top lines. Fellow musicians and producers already hold his artisanship in high regard; but you do not need to be a music ‘geek’ to recognise the skill in his craft.

Jordan King shook up the UK R&B scene in 2016 with his debut EP ‘The Night Shift’, described as an “R&B nugget of gold” by MTV’s The Wrap UP. King has begun to build a solid following in the UK, US, and now Europe after his first sold out international tour in the Netherlands in May. His silky smooth vocals coupled with WNDR’s rock solid production make ‘Let It Out’ an instant pop classic.

WNDR said: “‘Let It Out’ is me showing off my style as the versatile genre bending club music producer I am. Think of urban hard hitting affiliations, meets 4-to-the-floor club music"

For those who grew up with him there is no surprise WNDR turned out to be a musician. He had spent 10,000 hours in front of his DJ set-up before he had turned 13. Before high school was over, he had spent an additional 10,000 hours on music production. Labelled a serious talent early on, he could very well have been a household name by now, but WNDR has stuck to his own vision, creating music solely on his own premises.

visionnaire - "jig & juice"

September 22, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Rap

'jig & juice' is the latest single written and produced by visionnaire. this record is an homage to the classic west coast R&B subgenre of p-funk, and it's evolution in hip-hop as g-funk. 'jig & juice' is an electric single filled with authentic synths, new school bounce and infectious hooks and melodies with an aim to bring a classic energy back around for those who lived it, and those who love the music.

Brooke Williams is a singer/songwriter from San Diego who has written songs for various artists and had her music placed on numerous TV shows including MTV’s “Teen Mom”, USA’s “Burn Notice and TV Land’s hit series “Younger.” Her recent feature with the duo production group, Neo Noir, had huge viral success on Spotify reaching #4 on the US Viral Charts & #14 on the Global Viral Charts.

Jordana Talsky - "Run"

September 17, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Indie Pop

“Jordana made a very positive impression on these ears with her 2013 debut, Standard Deviation. She ups the ante on this new album, one that shows a real evolution in her singing and writing. Her pure phrasing is devoid of affectation, and her supple voice is equally convincing on a wide range of material.”

- Kerry Doole (FYIMusicNews)

 

THE ALBUM

Jordana Talsky’s new full length album ‘Neither of Either’ marks an evolution from jazz songstress to performer with a distinct sound, combining acapella and full band tracks while seamlessly weaving between intricate support harmonies, vocal percussion and quirky textures to create an innovative and compelling sound.

The Toronto based vocalist-songwriter takes risks, sonically and stylistically, encompassing her diverse influences across multiple genres from jazz to pop, to alternative and ambient, to blues and soul and beyond.

Produced by Juno award winner Justin Abedin, the multi-instrumentalist, producer and composer recognized Jordana’s innate sense of music and deep well of creativity. “She understands the value in the craft of songwriting and brings a fresh approach to her style”.

Pushing the boundaries of her current sound, Jordana and Justin ensured the 10 track ‘Neither of Either’ has a great vibe, ease of vocal transition, convincing lyrics and musicality that harkens to other strong female voices influential on Jordana including Fiona Apple, Dido, Feist and Alanis Morissette.
 

THE ARTIST

Jordana Talsky is a voice to be heard. Her unique sound and varied style may be attributed to her wide ranging experience. Once an opera singer, a musical theatre performer, and member of a funk band, Jordana pushes boundaries and embraces all of her musical sensibilities. She was a finalist in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, a semi-finalist in the Sarah Vaughan International Vocal Competition, and runner-up for the Julian Award of Excellence for Emerging Canadian Artists and Toronto Independent Music Awards (vocal jazz).

With a live show of high energy and excitement Jordana’s reputation has led her to perform in several music festivals and renowned venues. Established as one of Canada’s most exciting new artists in music, Jordana Talsky continues to perform on many notable stages both in the US and Canada making her a rising entertainer to watch.
 

THE TRACKS

From the catchy quirky intro of “Run” to the roots infused post-rock “Around You All The Time” followed by the darkly soulful “Ways”, and the epitome of being fed up expressed in “Sick”, Side A rounds out with “Bitter Sweet Heart”, where Jordana’s mesmerizing voice takes over. “Spark”, the first track on Side B, is a reminder that sometimes, that’s all that’s needed. “Wave of Emotion” conveys the confusion of being pulled in two directions while the title track, “Neither of Either” considers that sometimes not making the choice is wise. The RnB flavoured “Don’t Know” precedes Jordana’s imaginative acapella remake of Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know” and completes the album much like it began – catchy, great vibe and shining vocals.

Azad - "MOTTOLA"

September 17, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Rap

After his 2016 effort A Very Emotional EP allotted millions of streams and certified his status as a genuine force within hip-hop, Mind Of A Genius VP Azad is back with a fresh single that takes his sound to new heights. Titled “Mottola,” it’s a wavy joint with a thunderous low-end for Azad to spit serious bars atop (“Fuck a major, I go sign myself, blow up your favorite artist then I’ll co-sign myself”). The track comes equipped with a dynamic music video whose visuals are constantly shifting into psychedelic territory.

 

On how the track came about, Azad explains “This is my favorite track from my favorite band (THEY.) of 2017. I named the freestyle MOTTOLA because I studied Tommy (and Jimmy Iovine, Dame Dash) like I studied my favorite musicians.” As for its accompanying visuals, he notes “We went on a Europe trip this Summer and shot videos for my entire upcoming project. This one was done in Amsterdam."

Rock (of Heltah Skeltah) - "Rockness A.P." (prod. by The Arcitype)

September 17, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Hip-Hop

The latest single from Rock’s highly anticipated solo debut, Rockness A.P., finds the Brownsville native getting brutally honest about his career, and what it means to record without his partner-in-rhyme ( the late Sean Price ).

 

On “Rockness A.P.”, the gruff-voiced emcee puts aside his trademark tough talk and always-clever bars for an eye-opening look at why it’s taken so long for him to release a proper album on his own. Did you know that his career was put on hold at one point because of the beef between Eminem and Limp Bizkit? How about all that happened during his time away from Duck Down Records?

 

It’s rare to hear anyone get this candid on a track—nevermind a rapper known for delivering tough bravado with a smirk. But Rock puts it all out there as he learns how to move on following the tragic death of Sean P in August 2015. There’s a lot to unpack on “Rockness A.P.,” and the Monsta explains it all with sincerity and integrity. It makes for one of his strongest tracks to date, and only further builds the anticipation for his proper debut.

 

“Rockness A.P.” is the fifth instant grat track available for download off the iTunes’ pre-order for, Rockness A.P. The 14 track LP includes guest features from Method Man, Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, M.O.P., Ras Kass, Kuniva (of D12), Ron Browz, and more, and is executed produced by Phil Anastasio (of Blood Before Pride). The album, which is due out Sept 22, is now available for pre-order on CD as well as through the digital retailer of your choice via Digital Déjà Vu Records.

Wallace - "Black Lake"

September 17, 2017 by N3 On The Track in Music, Electronic

New Zealand born, Sydney based Wallace is back with another gem in "Black Lake". Co-written with Joel Quartermain (Eskimo Joe), the track is a love song laced with melancholy, which pushes the future-soul singer far out of her thematic comfort zone.

Based around a marimba-led melodic riff (harking back to her steel drum driven single " Raffled Roses "), "Black Lake" brings a dynamic, cinematic side to Wallace's usually upbeat soul sound. Live drums and soaring strings battle with gentle lulls and her exquisite, unique vocal - harking a wonderful growth and dexterity of genre for the jazz trained singer.

""Black Lake" attempts to capture the thoughts of someone who is in love and ready to commit to a person who isn't. After finishing the tune, I was re-watching one of my favourite comedies, The Mighty Boosh, and realised with all the water imagery we'd weaved into our story, we'd accidentally written the song from the point of view of Old Gregg. We hadn't landed on a title at this point so I suggested Black Lake, the home of the Baileys drinking, watercolour painting man himself." - Wallace

Wallace pushes with more of her quality brand of soul music, referencing the best parts of multiple genres to create an enticing sound that is irresistibly smooth, and possessing of a sophisticated sultriness.

Debut EP out October 13th. Tour info below

THE STORY SO FAR

New Zealand has been a strong breeding ground for neo-soul artists over the years, with names like Kimbra, Electric Wire Hustle, and Fat Freddy's Drop all gaining international acclaim. With all that rich history filling her veins, the now Sydney-based Kiwi might just be the next in line to find success.

Wallace is a refreshing talent, whose music is a mosaic of jazz, blues, hip-hop and soul. Her trademark jazz-influenced, soulful vocal and magnetic presence are a marker of a dynamic artist who vibrantly creates music which showcases her absorbing vocals and clever songwriting. Her lyrics are often influenced by literature, evident through the intricate wordplay she weaves to create poignant stories.

Her talents have seen her working with Dutch legends Kraak & Smaak , Australian hip-hop staples Thundamentals , touring and creating with young Zambian born, Australian-based rapper Sampa The Great , laying vocals over beats by Adventures of Godriguez , and working closely with producer Simon Cohen (producer of Justin Bieber's global #1 Song “Love Yourself”).

Wallace has toured with Little Simz (UK), Lemaitre (NOR), Ngaiire, The Kite String Tangle, Kllo, as well playing to crowds at Australian festivals such as Listen Out Festival, Lost Paradise, St Kilda Fest, Hills Are Alive & Bigsound, to name a few.
