Introducing Somelsewhere
Somelsewhere follows a tradition of one-man music projects like Sufjan Stevens and Implosion Quintet. Ross Campbell is the man behind the music, a college sophomore who began recording only last year. Before Ross sets off for a semester-long program in Japan, he has released an EP entitled Ink.Blot.Blink available for free HERE. Ross’s voice complement [...]
Gaelle – Falling
I first came across Haitian-American songstress Gaelle on MySpace four years ago and she has since become one of my all-time favorite singers. Her 2004 debut release, Transient, is a classic – a collection of twelve songs, each displaying Gaelle + Co.’s solid musicianship. This album isn’t held together by one big-name producer who creates [...]
Interview with Mishal Moore
I’m Mishal, hear me roar! After listening to Mishal Moore’s opening set at Zee Avi’s show last weekend, I needed to know more about the woman behind the song “Makeup Sex”. Who is she, why does she play the guitar like a bass, where can I find more about this artist with such amazing breath [...]
Inch Chua – Wallflower
A year after the release of her EP, The Bedroom, Singaporean DIY singer-songwriter Inch Chua is back with a full-length album entitled Wallflower, available for free HERE. The album features 11 new songs and “Rule The World” off of The Bedroom, all of which carry the same signature Inch vocal style and amusing marriage of [...]

Esperanza Spalding’s new album – Chamber Music Society
My (and Barack Obama’s) favorite jazz musician of the moment Esperanza Spalding is BACK with a new album, slated to drop on August 17th. Check the “making of” video, above. And save those extra dollars, this one’s a worth-it purchase. Peace, Radio M.
City and Colour – As Much As I Ever Could
City and Colour doesn’t qualify as a “new” artist, but he’s certainly a new find to my ears. City and Colour is the solo project of Alexisonfire‘s Dallas Green, titled as such because his first name is the name of a city and his last name, a color. City and Colour’s acoustic folk is a [...]
Concert Review: Zee Avi @ The Knitting Factory
Look, she’s wearing kain batik! Photo Credit: @suedanza. Since I came back to NYC from Malaysia this past spring, Zee Avi was the one artist I’ve been dying to see. This woman has quite literally captivated the hearts and minds of all Malaysians and they are mad proud of her achievements. Her story is quite [...]

In celebration of the release of singer/songwriter Rickolus‘s (FL based Rick Colado) new album, Youngster, he has shared with us a new music video put together by him and his friends. The track is called “Photographs” and the concept of the video is pretty cool. If you dig his sound, then check out another track [...]
Interview with Belle Boussole
If one had to chart some points in the history of electric-soul duo Belle Boussole, these might stick out: a love of music-making (Bryan), happening upon a music career on accident (Nicole), a marriage (Bryan and Nicole) and a move to New York. Belle Boussole’s Bryan McGurn and Nicole McGurn came to music through different [...]
New Zee Avi EP: One More Time With Colors
Brooklyn-based Malaysian songstress Zee Avi released a remix EP, One More Time With Colors, yesterday on iTunes. Currently signed to Jack Johnson‘s Brushfire Records, Avi released her eponymous debut last year. The EP features remixes of “Is This The End”, “The Story” and “Just You and Me”. It also features a new song, “I Wish [...]
Interview: Thailan When
Thailan When is one of those musical finds that are akin to quantum mechanics – artists and music that are like atoms spontaneously coming in and out of existence. She may not release a record once every two years but her music always sounds timeless, as if it were recorded just yesterday off of a [...]
Manett – Spider
Here is a pretty piece of music from Brooklyn singer/songwriter Manett. She wrote this really relaxin’ song called “Spider.” The song has this ambient vibe to it full with spacious guitars and a pretty trippy organ line. Put this on if you are on a road trip, chilling at the beach or hanging with friends. [...]
Throwback: Luz Divina – You Shine on Me
It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since Luz Divina released her debut, The Other Side. She was a regular on the New York City dance scene; a successful production deal with DJ Jonathan Peters who produced her hit track “In Your Eyes” lead to wide exposure on radio stations such as KTU and [...]
Bat for Lashes – Daniel
English-Pakistani Bat for Lashes is my newest find. A friend emailed me asking to do a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire” and he sent the remake version Bat for Lashes had on her 2007 album, Fur and Gold, which was simply stunning. Bat for Lashes is the stage name for 31-year-old Natasha Khan, [...]
Ely Guerra – Hombre Invisible
The amazing Mexican singer-songwriter Ely Guerra is BACK after a six year hiatus with a new album called Hombre Invisible (“Invisible Man”). I had NO idea she even released a single called “Colmena” (above) in December let alone released an album last week which is available on iTunes. Peep this, peeps. Peace, Radio Morillo
Father’s Day Edition: Sade – Babyfather
Happy Father’s Day to all of the (responsible) fathers out there! Here’s one for you guys: Sade’s latest single, “Babyfather”.
Amanda Brown – Dreamer
Amanda Brown is a LaGuardia alum that can boast of having a pretty good career: she was a backup singer for Alicia Keys and performs regularly in New York City. Here’s a snippet of her new song, “Dreamer”, which we’re hoping to hear on an upcoming album.
Review: Jade’s Listening Social, 6/16/10
Ever recall those parties or get-togethers that were so on point you had to give your compliments to the host/ess? How about that one free event you would have paid for because it was so good? Jade‘s “IMHC Remix Listening Social” on June 16th belongs in both categories. The event was hosted at RdV, a [...]
