In The Spotlight

Fingazz – “Gangsta Girl”

Although his name might not be instantly familiar, this L.A.-based producer and artist has been on the music scene for many years. He opened for legends such as The Gap Band, The Commodores and talkbox vocals pioneers Zapp & Roger and produced music for MC’s like Snoop Dogg and Kurupt. He’s also mastered the art of talkbox singing, which is still a staple of his own funkadelic sound.

It is no surprise then that his latest single is a celebration of that time-honored talkbox tradition. It’s a fiesta of funk, with a splash of soul and a dollop of disco. The combination of snazzy state-of-the-art production with the retro 80s-inspired funky flavors from the sweltering synths and a bracing beat makes this a deliciously sparkling, energetic jam which is just finger-lickin’ good.

In The Spotlight

K.Avett – “Feelin’ Good”

With a phenomenal blend of soul, R&B and jazz and sophisticated lyricism, this Texan singer and songwriter has created a fresh, standout sound. In 2014 she released her debut album “Revelations”, which was received with a torrent of well-deserved accolades and lead to several award nominations. She also opened for Corinne Bailey Rae on her 2016 “The Heart Speaks In Whispers” tour.

Her new single certainly lives up to its cheerful title. It’s a buttery smooth, feel-good song with a sunny, laid-back vibe. A gentle jazzy beat, mild percussion and sleek keys paint a tranquil picture which, accentuated by her soul-infused vocals and luscious harmonies, radiates warm sunbeams. Singing about celebrating life and choosing joy, its positivity is very addictive and can brighten up any day.

From her upcoming album “Lioness”, to be released in May 2018:
