Here is FEWTURE, one of the best projects so far this year. MeLo out did himself with this album. I can sit here, analyze and write about all fourteen-tracks, but I would rather you make your own conclusion. Make sure you give it listen, especially all you instrumental heads out there. Enjoy and support the album.
Here is what MeLo had to say:
FEWTURE is MeLo-X’s most experimental and genre bending project since his Maxwell BLACKsummers’night Instrumental Album back in 2009. FEWTURE is a true testament to MeLo’s self proclaimed “experimental free music” style. From soundscape like tracks and piano solos, to head nodding drumloops and broken beats MeLo is truly free of any genre or style. Complex but groove worthy rhythms infused with soothing and uplifting chords created through strong synths, heavy bass lines and at times just basic piano keys help paint MeLo’s vision of the “Fewture”. There are even elements of Juke and Dirty South griminess sprinkled throughout this eclectic, abstract, and visionary album. * MeLo-X

After an impressive Fall/Winter collection, Oliver Clark is getting ready to release his upcoming Spring/Summer 2012 collection. This time around Oliver decided to go shoelace free with his classic designed loafers and slip boots. The collection comes in three different color-ways black, natural and my personal favorite, blood. I have to admit, those blood slip boots look like a must have. You can now pre-order yourself a pair via e-mail.

Now this is my type of music. Meet Brooklyn’s own, Phony Ppl, a group of musicians, rappers and singers. They have been working on their latests project Phonyland for the last three years. Phony Ppl have a well mixed sound, that combines Jazz, Soul, Hip-Hop or any type of music that these artists decide to play. I am very excited to see what is next from Phony Ppl and I am sure that they will be one of those groups that will be in lots of people’s ears this year. Make sure to give these guys a listen. Support great music, Enjoy!
