Evicurean: Sean Rose is my break from the monotonous wave of auto-tune and non-meaningful, boasting lyricism. Hailing from the Sin City, Sean has a unique style and flavor that has not yet been seen or heard. An auditory feast, his verbal athleticism is unmatched, combining deep, thought provoking metaphors with savory articulation. With a new project under way entitled “For what it’s worth“,  Sean is stepping outside of the mainstream box to provide his listeners with quality and inspirational music. His first single off the project “Celebration” is an ode to this exact feeling of stepping outside of the common expectation and making it your own way. Visit The Rosewood to hear more from Sean. Here is Celebration and a few of my other favorite tracks by Sean Rose. CHEERS!

Roose: One of my new favorite artists in the industry today is Mayer Hawthorne. Born just miles away from Motown, the Michigan native is surely influenced by Motown legends like The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, and Smokey Robinson. You can tell by the way he puts his soul into the music which differs from the mainstream sounds filled with voice synthesizers and weak beats that Evicurean already mentioned. Instead, Hawthorne uses a lot of a cappella and four part harmonies, which is not only unique, but showcases true talent and his natural voice, which I feel is best displayed on “Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out”, which you can see the video for here. I think he sounds like mixture of  Eddie Kendricks of “The Temptations” and Brian Wilson from “The Beach Boys”. His debut album off Stones Throw Records, “A Strange Arrangement” is out now.

Cinematic: I’m jaded by a lot of what’s out there, I mainly listen to older stuff, and if I listen to the radio it’s usually talk about sports. I find myself on a seemingly insatiable quest for something to get me open. Thankfully Pseudo Slang’s “We’ll Keep Looking” has ended that search. PS front man, Emcee Sick spits effortlessly laid back, thought provoking flows riddled with infectiously clever lines you’ll have yourself reciting over and over. “Weak emcees always messing with me - smack ‘em back to the future with this blast from the past so hot like it drops next week“…is a quote off the head nodder “Yes Doubt” available for download here.  Tone Atlas leaves you hungry for more each time he touches the mic, but flavors this album overall with positively the coolest, jazzy-smooth production I’ve heard in years. The buttery feel of “We’ll Keep Looking”, makes this a lifestyle staple, getting listens during morning routine, vibing out at the shop, cooking dinner with my love, and that chill-out night drive home. More tracks can be heard on the PseudoSlang myspace.

Alex: My choice is Discovery. I discovered.. er.. found them through the bands Vampire Weekend and Ra Ra Riot. A dude from Vampire weekend (Rostam Batmanglij) and a dude from Ra Ra Riot (Wesley Miles) joined together to start a new project called Discovery. I was already hyped to hear their full album when I kept their first two released songs “Osaka Loop Line” and “Orange Shirt” on repeat. I actually ended up finding the album by following Deradoorian (who I will probably write about in the future), as I had forgotten the release date and Discovery saw a short hitatus on the iTunes. This is just the fresh and innovative type of album I was looking for. A mix between indie, electronic, and even a hint of dance. “LP” may be criticized due to excessive use of auto-tune and voice effects, but as opposed to most rappers or ’singers’, they use it RIGHT (and I usually hate auto-tune). As this is currently my favorite album and band, I definitely suggest a listen. Check out their myspace here.
