In The Spotlight

Johanna Klingfors – “All The Same”

Born and raised in Stockholm, this Swedish singer, songwriter and pianist grew up listening to the legends of 60s/70s jazz, blues and R&B music. She combined getting a masters from the Royal College Of Music with performing live both in her home country as in Spain. Giving a modern twist to that vintage sound, her musical virtuosity and impressive lyricism make her a force to be reckoned with.

By joining her retro-tinted, musical craftsmanship with a social statement about racism and discrimination, her debut single is a sumptuous sounding throwback with a modern message. The ear-tingling, blazing brass, an energizing rhythm and choral backing vocals give it a rejuvenating vibe,  while her vintage-dipped, powerhouse pipes complete this empowering slice of soulful vivacity.

From her upcoming EP “My Soul, The Blues & Other Stories”, to be released in October 2018:

In The Spotlight

Joey Dosik – “Inside Voice”

Benched after a serious injury, this Los Angeles-based former basketball player turned to his love of music as a new career. He performed with Vulfpeck, Nikka Costa and Lake Street Dive and, combining his love for the sport with music, he created the EP “Game Winner” in 2016, which was inspired by the language and lore of the game. That debut was re-released early 2018 with four bonus tracks.

The title-track of his upcoming full-length album is suave 70s-style soul and shows off his exceptional songwriting skills. The intimate instrumentation of a mellow rhythm, gentle violins and serene keys lights the candle on a romantic, almost erotic, sonic setting. His creamy, blue-eyed soul vocals sound emotional and mellifluous and caresses this euphonic piece of retro-tinged modern soul.
