LOSING MY MIND | kiesza

After delivering the upbeat tracks "Hideaway" and "Giant in my Head," Canadian singer-songwriter Kiesza goes slow for her new song "Losing My Mind." Just as she is able to make me jump off my seat and dance with her 90s house-influence music, she can also make me sway to her 90s hip-hip-infused slow-jam.

And you're sending my body to grace"

I can already see my guy and I grooving to this song in the kitchen while preparing dinner. The track is too good not to groove to with a partner - hips to hips, staring into each other's eyes, and letting the beat move you. Or is that just me? 

Take a listen, and let me know what you think.

Her debut album "Sound of a Woman" comes out next week. You can pre-order it on itunes now. You already know I am. :-)

artist to watch | laura welsh

Introducing British singer-songwriter Laura Welsh. Just a few days ago, she released her self-titled EP. And, with just four songs on it, Welsh manages to provide us with an impressive debut. I gave myself a few days to digest her material, but her talent is recognizable on the first listen. 

"Ghosts" opens the EP with Welsh's strong vocals. The song itself is reminiscent of the sound of Adele with Florence + the Machine (a similar yet different Welch). Co-written with John Legend, "The Hardest Part" slows down to allow Welsh's voice to draw you in. This is my favorite song off her EP. With her emotive voice and its slow-tempo beats, the track is a beautiful confessional song about her vulnerability to that special someone. Trust me, and press play now.

"Break The Fall" resurfaces her strong vocals as she sings about her cynicism towards love.

"Cold Front" closes the EP with another example of her artistic versatility -- she doesn't have to sing alongside beating drums with every song. She can move you in more ways than one.

With her self-titled EP, Laura Welch successfully delivers a good collection of sultry, soulful pop songs. It is a work of beautiful, tasteful, and well-crafted adult pop confection. Thank you, Laura Welsh, for this impressive debut.

Her self-titled EP is available on itunes and all digital formats now.
