New Track: Soho Ride – Farida

Farida soho ride

I’ve just found this beautiful track on SoundCloud, performed by Norwegian singer/songwriter by the name of FARIDA.

This gentle songstress-on-the-rise, who opened gigs for heavyweights including Ne-Yo, has ingeniously put a delicately fresh spin on neo-soul, R&B and hip-hop. Lead single, Soho Ride, features the perfect airy balance of R&B with the flirtatious rhythms of the Middle East. This three-minute of heavenly bliss is for the ladies who find themselves in a dead-end relationship, as the message is – let it loose; it’s OK be alone.

Soho Ride is taken from her latest album, The 25th Hour, available on SoundCloud.

Album Review: Taurus Rising – Chill (of 3KNGZ)

chill of 3kngz

From the hip-hop act 3KNGZ, it’s CHILL‘s turn to come into the spotlight, with the brand new album, Taurus Rising – his first solo project in over ten years.

With arrangements varying from hard-hitting rock to the familiarity old school soul and R&B, in true 3KNGZ style, the veteran delivers reality-bites wordplay that’s second to none.

It’s definitely not for the faint-hearted…but if you can stand the heat in the kitchen, it’s worth a trail!

Must Listens: Love of the Money, Master Plan, Inner Peace.
