Highlighting some personal favorite artists this week.
Montell Fish, a producer, singer, and songwriter from Philadelphia, has navigated a compelling artistic evolution. While starting as a Christian artist, he has successfully transitioned, forging a distinctive path within the indie R&B genre. His musical prowess continues to grow, notably through his production work for himself and others under the alias “dj gummy bear.”
Hiatus Kaiyote, the acclaimed Grammy-nominated Australian band, has long been recognized for their innovative blend of jazz, R&B, and electronic elements. Their music is a rich tapestry woven with singer Nai Palm’s deeply soulful grooves, intricate rhymes, and complex harmonies, all seamlessly supported by vibrant jazzy instrumentals.
Odeal is a dynamic British R&B artist new to the scene but already making considerable waves in the UK. His sound offers a captivating blend of Afrobeats and R&B, through which he eloquently explores themes of love, relationships, and self-discovery. With a recently released EP and a notable collaboration with Leon Thomas, Odeal stands out as an artist on the cusp of widespread acclaim.
Hailing from the UK, Puma Blue is the artistic alias of Jacob Allen, whose music is celebrated for its unique fusion of lo-fi, indie rock, jazz, and R&B elements. Allen creates a profoundly atmospheric and hazy soundscape, distinguished by his intricate guitar playing and evocative, often melancholic, vocals.
