Fika – “Love Funk”

London-based Sam Hutton and Al Wreaves have been friends since studying music together. Named after the Swedish word meaning take a break, have a coffee and relax, they’ve created a fusion of timeless soul, modern pop and a touch of chilled dance. Influenced by artists from D’angelo and John Mayer to Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars, they debuted with their single “Wide Eyed” in 2017.

Giving the laid back electronic soundscape a funky feel, their latest single is a rhythmic smooth groove. With mellow percussion, slick synths and punchy guitar hooks giving it a velvety melodic finesse, their sleek, silky vocals stroke the melody, while narrating the insecurities of new budding love. And with an electrifying jazz guitar solo, this dynamic jam is an exhilarating piece of polished funk.

Lauriana Mae – “Love To The City”

This New Jersey gal grew up in a small town setting, where the people had blue-collar ideals and backyard barbecues. She got accepted to a performing arts high school in New York City. Since then she’s collaborated with the likes of CeeLo Green and B.o.B. Influenced by timeless legends such as Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and Alicia Keys, she debuted with “They Don’t Know” in 2010.

Dipping smooth R&B flavors in an easygoing, jazzy stew, her new single is an ear-tingling musical treat. The breezy rhythm, heavenly violins, mellow organ and silky horns create some laid-back vintage charm, while her sultry and suave vocal chops narrate her story with a honey-dripping sweetness. Mesmerizing from the very first note, it’s a luscious bowl of candy-coated sonic sumptuousness.
