I'm Yours is the new gloriously sun-kissed single from Hans Island, a collaboration between Canadian producer Mawhs and Scandinavian singer Marie Dahlstrøm. It's a record of blind infatuation, Dahlstrøm's vocals enraptured and besotted. The soundscape Mawhs creates is gentle like waves that lap gently against the shore - sensual, intimate, and just a little bit hard to resist.
Envy is the latest release from UK artist Peter Lyons, and on it he weaves dubby, looped R&B production, classical strings and Thom Yorke-esque vocals to create this stunningly dramatic track.
The track is taken from Lyons' forthcoming EP Oh, To Pull You Up and follows on from his debut single Leave Me back in March. Lyons also features as one half of pop-folk duo Peter & Kerry, was featured on Bonobo's Late Night Tales album and has composed music for Sadler's Wells.
Oh, To Pull You Up will be released on 2 October 2015.
Hailing from the cool Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, three-piece R&B outfit CHINAH recently dropped their debut single Away From Me, layering vocalist Fine Glindvad's silky vocals over Simon Kjær's guitar-work and Simon Andersson's minimal electronic production to form a delicately constructed track with bruised confidence.
Toronto-based producer Michah has transformed the gentle original into a smooth and slow house version. Michah applies a deft-touch, giving Away From Me a lift that sees it transformed whilst retaining the gentle sophistication of the original - the production wide-enough to fall right into.
On the original version, the band explain: "'Away From Me' was written in the early spring of 2014. It was the first song from our EP, and it really made us find the sound we've been confident about for the rest of the EP. We wanted to cut the song to the core with as few layers as possible."
Check out the premiere of Michah's remix below, and the original further down.
Off of the back of his two EPs, last year's 1992 and more recently 1000, Ben Khan has become one to watch in the R&B space... His thick, sinewy electronic production taping into the best of R&B and electronic music to create something unique - funky and soulful.
Khan has just released a new track, Blade (Tidal Wave of Love), and it's another demonstration of what makes this artist so compelling... Deep, slow and dark soulful vibes. You can listen to the track below and grab it as a free download on Khan's Tumblr.
Following on from the fantastic Can't Stop Moving back in February, Ghost Hours (real name Ron Fountenberry) is back with new track Fever. Even more blissed out on Fever, here Ghost Hours delivers a horizontally chilled summer sound with so much heart.
