Karma’s Tea – “Magic”

Formed by keyboardist Mike Desroches and skilled singer-songwriter Mystina, this duo has already made their mark on the music scene. Mike fronted a Chick Corea Fusion band and traveled with the Skynyrd Legends Tour. Mystina has R&B in her blood and performed for Michael Jackson in 2002. Inspired by the likes of Janelle Monáe and Earth, Wind & Fire, they debuted with “What Do You Do” in 2020.

Filled with an infectious vibrancy and funky feel-good vibes, their new single fluently blends classic R&B, New Jack Swing and sizzling soul into a delicious, 80s-touched dancefloor banger. With a bouncy handclap beat, slick synths and bubbly harmonies creating a neon-colored sonic glow, it’s the vintage vitality and her ear-stroking vocals that give this lavish groove a touch of true magic.

Leven Kali – “Tears Of Joy”

Born in The Netherlands and raised in Santa Monica, California, this singer, songwriter and producer seemed destined for a musical career. His father, Jerry ‘Wyzard’ Seay, was a founding member of the band Mother’s Finest. As a teen he was already collaborating with Drake and Playboi Carti. Inspired by Parliament Funkadelic, The Ohio Players and Ty Dolla $ign, he debuted with “Joy” in 2016.

Recorded in an old-school manner, with three vocalists on one microphone singing harmonies, this track is a flavorful blend of classic soul and 90s R&B. Taken from his EP “Let It Rain”, it’s the pulsating R&B beat and a booming bass that instantly draw you in, before it unfolds into a jubilant chorus of soulful smoothness. And with his silky vocals, this jam is a delicious taste of R&B/soul splendour.
