【抗顏】K. Jackson (of 3rd Storee) - Beach House Mixtape

 

十年前活躍的人物,時代變遷並未阻礙他們的前進腳步。

知名製作人/混音家/創作人Jon-John Robinson(K-Ci & JoJo、TLC、Jon B.)與美聲團體3rd Storee之一的Kevontay Jackson相遇,彷彿宣示著R&B與HipHop真的本一家。

於是Kevontay Jackson繼率先單飛的K. Young,他同樣選擇以縮寫K. Jackson之名重新出發,Jon-John則隨侍在側,為其量身打造羽翼。

這張搶先發表在專輯 Allow Me to Introduce Myself 之前的 Beach House Mixtape ,除了把Toni Estes、Ke$ha和Katy Perry請過來,還必須注意的是Captain Hook這位男聲,中和了K.充滿雄性氣息、欲求不滿的饒舌,也重回了3rd Storee時代。



翻唱U2的 With or Without U 算是抓到融合「黑白音樂」的精神, I'm Fly Mix 則以OutKast的 Prototype 為取樣音樂,作為穩重的最終曲。

【色顏】Honey Larochelle - Clean Lust and Dirty Laundry

 


Vancouver born, Texas raised, Florida reformed, Brooklyn saved, Denmark adopted, Croatian loved, Miss Honey Larochelle has been making audiences around the world laugh, cry, and jump out of their seats. Fresh off another European tour, “The Urban Honeybee” has been buzzing in the studio crafting a kaleidoscope of music that spans adventures in love, sex, dance, intimacy, and honesty. “Clean Lust and Dirty Laundry” is a juicy exposé that showcases her crisp, soaring soprano gift and captures her dynamic songwriting and production skills.

Honey collaborated with an amazing line up of producers on “Clean Lust and Dirty Laundry:” Lions Share (Anthony Hamilton, Pharoahe Monch), Caviar (T.I), Danish Reggae producer, Pharfar (Beenie Man), and several up-and-coming geniuses. Her warm yet edgy mash-up of classic soul, hip-hop, and electro-pop is sure to make an impact on her listeners and on the industry itself. With the final touches blended and mixed by fellow Canadian Super-DJ Miss Erica Dee, you should bee excited.

Bee very excited.

Honey Larochelle, the “Urban Honeybee” with a modern day pin-up girl image, airs out her growth, transition, mistakes, and passions on a clothing line for the world to see. This is not your average mixtape built on other people’s beats or songs. The honey of this record is all-original ear candy.
