Minnesota-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist BAIN is the latest addition to the growing roster of +FE Music, the label founded and run by Phonte and Dutch producer Nicolay (also known as the Grammy-nominated soul duo The Foreign Exchange). With two full-length albums already under his belt with producer Afrokeys (2014’s Love In Blue and 2019’s Around The Sun), Bain teams with Nicolay for his third full-length album Lifetime, due out later this year. The pair shared the forthcoming album’s new single ‘Here To Stay’, available on all digital streaming platforms via +FE Music/EMPIRE.
“‘Here To Stay’ was created when I packed up the key elements of my home studio and embarked on a sojourn to a remote cabin on the North Shore of Lake Superior in Minnesota. I have always found this great lake to be an endless source of inspiration. After spending a few days alone in the woods, I came away with three songs I was content with. ‘Here To Stay’ was the upbeat, electronic-based, universal love song of the bunch. The tracks were then sent to Nicolay who added his instrumentation and fully produced and mixed the song. Over the driving bass line, blends of organic guitars, and dreamy synthesizers, I sing of a bright and clear message that love is here to stay.” – Bain
As a fourth-generation singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, music is literally embedded in Davis Bain’s DNA. Like his forefathers, Davis has harbored a passion for stringed instruments since his youth. He quickly fell in love with the electric guitar in particular, and enjoyed playing R&B, funk and gospel music in various bands performing in the Minneapolis area.
Davis set his sights on becoming a recording artist after discovering the albums that his estranged father would record and release from his farmhouse studio. From that moment forward, he has focused on writing, performing and producing his own songs.
Together with his long time friend, music producer Afrokeys, Davis has co-produced and released two full-length albums under the moniker “Bain”: 2014’s Love In Blue and 2019’s Around The Sun. For his upcoming third full-length album, he has linked up with Grammy nominated music producer Nicolay, best known as one half of independent soul duo and label-operators The Foreign Exchange. As the lead single and title track, ‘Lifetime’, illustrates, Davis Bain is fully leaning into the artistry that seems to have been bestowed upon him at birth. Have a listen below…
Fresh out of Sheffield, Rapper J KAS drops some old-school favour in new track, ‘Come on Down,’ featuring Brazilian-born rapper Lucas Garcez. The Dreamlife-produced-joint, is a testament to the artistic synergy that emerged when these two talents crossed paths in Porto, Portugal, in 2018. J. Kas and Lucas Garcez, brought together by a shared passion for music and hip-hop, create a vibrant sonic celebration of their respective journeys in the world of art.
In this track, J. Kas pays homage to Porto, the city he now calls his second home, where the collaboration with Lucas Garcez took root. Lucas, having relocated to Porto during his youth, adds a unique perspective, making the city an integral part of his identity. The lyrics reflect the duo’s love for music, dedication to honing their craft, and an enthusiastic celebration of the hip-hop culture that unites them.
As the verses unfold, the rappers not only express their shared artistic endeavors but also give a nod to both Porto and Sheffield, acknowledging the cities that have played crucial roles in shaping their identities as artists. ‘Come on Down’ becomes a symbolic bridge between two cultures, connecting Sheffield and Porto through the universal language of hip-hop. The track is more than just music; it’s a testament to the power of collaboration, cultural exchange, and the enduring spirit of hip-hop that transcends geographical boundaries.
‘Come On Down’ was released last Friday (9th February) across various music platforms. Check out the video for the blazing track below…
