[Future R&B] SPZRKT – Blind Man (Prod. by J-Louis)

SPZRKT
Blind Man (Prod. by J-Louis)

This weekend Xavier Adams, the pride of Warner Robins, Georgia, released the latest song under his affiliation in the STRT_TRBL collective. Adams, more commonly known as Spazzy Rocket – and often shortened to SPZRKT – should sound familiar from previous coverage on his highly regarded work with Sango co-creating the EP Hours Spent Loving You this past March.

In fact, SPZRKT – whose music first appeared on TMN in 2013 – has seen rapid growth in recognition and popularity since the release of Middle of Things, a timeless single (and personal favorite) from Sango’s album North.

Following the success of other recent releases like “Crossroads,” “Can’t Wait” and “The Motive,” Blind Man is the latest instance displaying his ability to infuse tracks with soul and emotion. With an aesthetic charisma and the smoothness of a lullaby, Blind Man coincides with Spazzy’s previous musical themes such as the earthly and heavenly connection in healthy relationships.

Lyrically, the song strikes the listener with similar silkiness displayed on tracks from Hours Spend Loving You. With lines like “I’m gonna take my time with your mind, your ambition won’t leave me alone // body like a queen but it ain’t about your body baby it’s about your being”, Spazzy’s R&B crooning is a powerfully emotional talent that takes the production of J-Louis over the top on this release.

Listeners can stay up to date with all of SPZRKT’s tunes on his soundcloud, as well as that of STRT_TRBL. Check out “Blind Man” up top and bookmark this one for next year’s Valentines Day playlist.

[R&B] Vanessa Elisha – Ocean (Prod. By J-Louis)

Vanessa Elisha
Ocean (Prod. By J-Louis)

Lately my good friends have tried putting me onto new artists, but thanks to all of my ninjas, I typically have heard it. Tonight a good friend put me on to the beautiful vocalist Vanessa Elisha, and I am blown away! Just from hearing this first track alone, I know that Vanessa Elisha is going to be a huge name soon. There is just something about her voice on “Ocean” that screams success! It isn’t overly tuned, or edited to sound perfectly pitched. Vanessa Elisha has either had some vocal training, or is a complete natural. Whatever the case may be, this is a name you will be seeing more from us.

Sunday Night Soul [Vol. 22]

While most of the ninja team spent the weekend melting away under the desert sun at Coachella, the rest of us here at TMN have been hard at work to ensure that you have the latest and greatest tunes the internet has to offer.
