From Barcelona-based four-piece Zoe’s Shanghai, “Stealing Me” is a shimmering, kaleidoscopic new track that blends jazz, neo-soul, warm percussion and floating vocals courtesy of lead singer Zoé Renié. The effect creates a complex and layered soundscape that simultaneously feels intuitive. From its opening groovy rhythm to its slowed-down, tender transition, the track is beautifully dizzying and lushly immersive.
From LA-based trio Moonchild’s new album Starfruit, “I’ll Be Here” is a bubbly but languid love song, carried by Amber Navran’s jazzy vocals. Navran (who is also a musician, producer and songwriter) along with Max Bryk and Andris Mattson (who both play various instruments and contribute to programming and production) weave together elements of soul, R&B, jazz and more for the mellow track.
LA-based Filipino singer Kiana V returns with “Heartbeat On Me,” her first new music since last year’s gorgeous EP, Dazed. This new song—featuring fellow Filipino artist Jesse Barrera—leans a little closer to pop than her previous releases, but maintains touches of neo-soul and ’90s R&B, making for a sunny, airy track.
