New Track: Addict – Louis Baker

LOUIS BAKER has leaped onto NEW LEASE MUSIC’s midweek hotspot with his most soulful single to date, ‘Addict’.

This increasingly popular New Zealand artist evokes classic soul through a seductive ‘70s bass groove and Motown-esque guitar stabs, which showcases a mellifluous vocal range and primal R&B scream. ‘Addict’ perfectly displays Baker’s multi-instrumentalist talents, as he plays the role of bassist, guitarist, lead and backing vocalist on this track.

The confessional single follows previous effort, “Gave It All Away”, which was aired on BBC 6Music and received online praises from Clash, Line of Best Fit, Indie Shuffle, EarMilk and MTV.

Go on, smooth over your Humpday; check out ‘Addict’.

Star Song: Warmth Of The Sun – Plainview

Plainview

Today’s song is Warmth Of The Sun by British three-piece post-rock band PLAINVIEW. The single is coming from their latest EP Years From Now released in July.

The guys behind from the band – Darren Leadsom (vocals and guitar), Marc Nellis (bass and backing vocals) and Tim Lowe (drums) – have really something special as they created a perfect infusion of Americana and panoramic rock. Since bringing their signature sound to the music scene in 2012, the soft rockers from Lancaster have been shortlisted twice for Fresh On The Net’s Listening Post, a site for UK independent artists, run by Tom Robinson from BBC 6 Music.

Have a blast at Warmth Of The Sun. This feel-good production generates a pleasantly warm feeling to the soul. The perfect summer song.

Like me if Warmth Of The Sun gives you a warm feeling inside, head over to their bandcamp page and check out their EP.
