IVORY DOME GIVES YOU THA BOOGIE

Another myspace find, Tha Boogie (Lejin, K.orus & NuSchool) is slowly creeping up as a favourite. A younger and less sexier version of J*Davey me thinks. The California crew can site Raphael Saadiq as mentor , taking them on tour with him recently. Their Love, Tha Boogie (Steal This Sh*t) EP offers feet movers like Running, Running and Hey Love induces some snappy, side to side jerking. The vocals could be better but the sound is rather impressive. Dig them for great beats (electro, neo soul, doo wop, dance with a tinge of eighties).

IVORY DOME GIVES YOU VV BROWN

Ah! the Brits have done it again. Cue in VV Brown, a quasi Amy Winehouse, with a tinge of Duffy. Her voice is seemingly mature but her style lingers on the young and carefree. VV is a singer/songwriter from London Town, she sites Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald as inspiration for her 50's groove. Her upcoming debut Travelling Like The Light, will be out this June. Look for doowop influenced sounds on I'm Crying Blood and Leave. I'm thrilled to see how her career goes, the marketing is definitely on point.
