[MP3] Listen to Two Recent Tracks from 11:11 – Home / Good Love

11:11 is one of the more promising artists riding the wave of the ‘Toronto Sound.’ Dude’s got hits or, at least, a very commercial sound. He could be next to blow! Wanna see what all the fuss is about around this buzzy new artist, you can check him out headlining the The Come Up Show’s 10th Anniversary concert at Adelaide Hall in Toronto on Nov. 30.

[MP3] selah – Breathe Feat. IDKHIM (Prod. by KPR)

Recent track by Lauryn Hill‘s daughter, Selah Marley featuring a guest verse by hip-hop blog/podcasting legend, Combat Jack‘s son Chuma Osse (pka IDKHIM).

[MP3] Charlotte Day Wilson – Doubt

Toronto’s Charlotte Day Wilson has a phenomenal voice that she put to exceptionally good use on her debut CDW EP. She’s back with a new single, “Doubt” and we here at The Kitchen welcome her return. Was “Doubt” worth the wait?

[MP3] Jessie Reyez – Phone Calls

One of the rising stars of the new Toronto wave is back with a brand new single. Perfect song for the days and times we are living through currently, we think….

[MP3] Keys N Krates – Glitter Feat. Ambré

New (?) sound for the homies in Keys N Krates. Here’s the PR blurb:

Toronto-based live electronic act Keys N Krates are back to share a new single. “Glitter” features Ambré, and sees the group continuing to expand their sound and explore new territory as they broaden their style beyond the dance world. A deep twilight groove featuring New Orleans R&B talent Ambré, Keys N Krates emerge from the darkness with “Glitter,” which layers intoxicating vocals over snappy bass and warped strings for a hypnotic slowed down disco feel.

“We were trying to draw from music we love and grew up on like Jay Dilla, Tribe, DJ Premiere, as well as current stuff that we love like everything from Beach House to Chrome Sparks to a lot of current rap stuff,” explains the group’s turntablist Jr. Flo. “We wanted everything to sound like a sample.”

The group is also announcing that “Glitter” will be the lead single to their debut album, entitled Cura, arriving in early 2018 via Dim Mak Records.

Coinciding with the release of “Glitter,” Keys N Krates are also announcing a lengthy North American tour set to kick off on January 24th and running through the spring.

We likes. Y’all?
