Latest mixtape from local (T.dot) soul singer, Lisa Banton. Some have dismissed her as a poor man’s Mary J. Blige but there’s some talent here. I’d like to to hear her start to do more original music instead of these mixtape style remakes though. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Appropriate post for a Sunday evening:
#Discovery is a collection of hand-picked artists that best represent the world of true R&B talent. They are the next wave of artists to make their splash into the stream of music, and is our ongoing commitment to provide you with fresh artistic point of views. All we ask now is.. Are you ready to for your #Discovery?
In a collection that tends to lean more pop than true R&B, especially at the beginning, Lauriana Mae‘s “Love” is the standout track to my ears. I’d be curious to hear more from this singer, interesting voice.
New mix by one of the best DJ’s in Toronto:
This is an exploration in gearing down.
Made for the remains of the day.
Après work. Après exams. Après bullshit.
Après. Après. Après.
Amen.
