IVORY DOME GIVES YOU ANDREYA TRIANA


Andreya Triana is that hidden gem that everyone needs to know about. I first heard of this British songstress on Flying Lotus's Los Angeles and to say her breathy serenade was not memorable would be a fat lie. Triana's upcoming debut album, Lost Where I Belong is something to look forward to. She has released two tracks; the first being the title song Lost Where I Belong (sadly accompanied with the acoustic guitar melodrama, yes I am really over that darn guitar) and A Town Called Obsolete. Andreya's sound is soft, tittering the lines of delicacy and strenght. I can only hope she is not a victim of "Hook Singer" (the instance where artists sound amazing on other artist's tracks compared to their own efforts, Dwele & Co). So far, a grand highlight is on Bonobo's Black Sands. Songs like Stay The Same, Eyes Down and The Keeper are just right, with a sound reaching into an ethereal sphere. If she can maintain this presence then all the world is hers.

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 Peter Hadar




I was introduced to the sound of Peter Hadar a while back, by host of radio show Luv4art on wbmbradio.com. I finally got a hold of She's 4 Months and it has been on heavy rotation. The EP is a testament to groovy jazz heavy beats and sensually calm vocals. Hadar's almost whisper like vocal delivery gives songs like Sweatin a sensual edge. His voice is soothing enough to suggest those naughty thoughts and desires, Workin is a testament to that. Dig this please
