“Visions” by Norah Jones shines with soulful vocal bliss and evolving instrumentations. “Grip” by SERPENTWITHFEET offers a mix of modest and bombastic production, blending R&B/Soul tenderness. Rapsody’s “Please Don’t Cry” showcases diverse production and melodic constructions. Young Miko’s “att” reflects 2000s-centric hip-hop blend.

IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I SPENT THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT AN ARTIST FLOODING MY EARS WITH ENERGY AND I’M BACK TO GUSH ABOUT ANOTHER ARTIST, UK DJ Elkka. It wasn’t long ago when I first discovered Elkka. It was via a brand new and her first DJ-Kicks, a series of mixed albums by…
