SULTAN + SHEPARD NEW SINGLE
Fellow Canadian DJ/producer, Guilty Pleasure, breathes new life into Sultan + Shepard’s smash single, ‘Bring Me Back’ featuring Kreesha Turner. Scheduled for release June 24 on Enhanced Music, Guilty Pleasure’s classic house remix proves yet again Sultan + Shepard’s knack for spotting talent early on.
Grammy-nominated producers, Sultan + Shepard have managed to put out new music consistantly without compromising quality or holding back from experimenting with their sound. The duo had a huge 2015 with their original ‘Bring Me Back’ featuring r&b pop star Kreesha Turner and their remix of Ed Sheeran and Rudimental’s ‘Lay It On Me’ soon after. Continuing the momentum, 2016 has seen Sultan + Shepard drop two fresh remixes for 3Lau’s smash single ‘Is It Love’ and ‘Give It Up’ by Jack Wins. The summer will continue strong as the guys begin to release a new original single each month on Armada starting in July, culminating in their first EP.

Cognitive dissonance is, at this point, an everyday part of modern society.

SARA WATKINS ANTICIPATED SOLO ALBUM STREAM
Ahead of its release this Friday, July 1 on New West Records, Sara Watkins much anticipated new solo album, Young in All The Wrong Ways, is premiering in full all week long at NPR First Listen. “By now, Watkins has been in the spotlight for half her life. Never before has she made her voice heard quite this clearly,” they exclaimed. “The title track opens the album and sets the tone. Watkins momentarily loses herself in lulling wistfulness, only to lurch into a rebuke of naïveté, bearing down on her scorn for once-automatic acquiescence over spiky eruptions of electric guitar and a tumultuous drum groove. ‘I’m going out to see about my own frontier,’ she insists twice in a row, sounding determinedly detached.

Introducing Emily Jane White’s new video for “Pallid Eyes,” the latest single from her forthcoming LP They Moved in Shadow All Together. Directed by Dan Jenkins, as White told Brooklyn Vegan, the video “depicts a body, estranged from relational dysfunction, which dwells in patterns of isolation and dissociation.
