Muroki – “Simple Pleasures”
Born as Muroki Mbote Wa Githinji in Raglan, this Kenyan-New Zealand singer and songwriter started playing guitar at the age of 8. He started recording music aged 15, after forming the band Cloak Bay with Lennox Reynolds. In 2019 he joined the band Masaya as a bassist. Inspired by Frank Ocean, D’angelo and GoldLink, he debuted his solo jazz, funk, soul blended sound on “For Better Or Worse” in 2019.
Driven by a groovy bassline and an infectious beat, his uplifting new single is a chilled tune with added funk. Taken from his genre-spanning EP “Heading East”, it’s the laid-back instrumentation with refreshing electric guitar runs and a 90s funk vibe that conjures the feeling of a mellow summers day by the sea. And with his smooth and sultry vocals, this is a warm and soothing sonic pleasure.

Dean Mitchell – “Pieces”
Grown up in the Bay Area and now Los Angeles-based, this rising singer and songwriter is a musical chameleon. With a style influenced by funk and R&B of the 70s and 80s, 90s grunge and 00s pop, she feels most at home in a genre-less soundscape. Drawing inspiration from artists like Alanis Morrisette, Green Day and Christina Aguilera, she released her debut single “Hold Me Down” earlier this year.
Focusing on the anxieties that seem to be synonymous with being twenty-something, her new single reminds others that they are not alone. Enveloping the wistful lyrics in uplifting 90s-influenced pop-rock vibes, the song captures the attention from the very first bass pluck. Edgy guitars, potent beat and her flirtatious vocals turn these infectious 2 minutes into something extraordinary.
