DJ Mitsu the Beats – “Promise In Love”

DJ Mitsu the Beat, the producer and beat maker of the Japanese Hip Hop unit, Gagle. He has recently ventured out to countries outside of Japan to share his musical creations. In “Promise In Love” DJ Mitsu collaborates with Jose James to create a very groovy R&B/Soul track. It reminds me of some classic Soul joints my parents used to play to me.

Amel Larrieux – FOR REAL

I felt that I’d be a great to follow up after Mondo Grosso with a Amel Larrieux classic. Off her sophomore album, Bravebird, this is “For Real”.

Mrs. Amel Larrieux is a 8-year veteran to the R&B genre. She was the amazing vocalist from the Groove Theory. You may know their hit single “Tell Me”. After persuring her solo career, Amel has now reached a position where she is renown throughout the mature R&B and NeoSoul scenes.

Those who enjoy Anita Baker, Goapele, Sade, and the like, will enjoy many more songs from Amel Larrieux.
