[Album Stream + Music Video] Claire Mortifee – Panther Paws from the Medicines album

Here’s the video for the latest single, “Panther Paws” from West Coast soul singer, Claire Mortifee‘s Medicines album which, if you dig the single, is available for you to listen to in FULL via stream above also.

I’d recommend it, it’s a decent listen. As a very rough comparison, I’d say it’s RIYL fellow Canadian soulsters, Zaki Imbrahim and Esthero (her bio calls her vocals “inspired by Amy Winehouse and Erykah Badu” and a sound “reminiscent of Tove Lo“). Her music with Vancouver’s Potatohead People, who also produced the second single from the album, “Shanghigh” is pretty good too. I’d post the video for that but it felt a little culturally fetishistic to my eyes so I’m taking a pass but you can watch it HERE if you’re curious to see what I’m talking about.

(Note: post updated and bumped from the original Dec. 22 posting date with new video for “High Off” shot in Costa Rica)

Excellent mid-tempo future bass track by Toronto DJ, producer and ex-member of BraassMunk featuring Toronto singer, Desiire who we’ve featured here at The Kitchen before. Check the PR blurb here:

DJ Agile has teamed up with singer/songwriter DESIIRE for the 2nd single off of his upcoming EP release. ‘High Off’ is a futuristic soul record that features vocals from Congo-born Toronto based artist DESIIRE. Known for his soulful vocals and 90’s revivalism, collaborating with the DJ/producer Agile is nothing short of genius. The song was crafted with singer songwriter Kash Phillips.

‘High Off’ explores the debilitating high you get off the sparks flying in a new relationship, with a production journey you can do a smooth body roll to. ‘High Off’ appears on The Boogie V.6 compilation album from Tokyo Dawn Records out of Germany, and available everywhere now!
