It’s been a year since up-and-coming singer Dondria stepped into the Booth with her last feature, and her debut album still has yet to hit stores. Despite the setbacks, the album Dondria vs. Phatfffat is set to release August 17th. It features the single You’re the One, co-producered and written by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan Michael Cox. It has a classic vibe that fans of retro-informed R&B will find hard to resist! |

Bear in Heaven have trapped echos, tremors, winds, and fading light. They’ve unbuttoned sound, and realigned it. Within four walls in Brooklyn, they mined the democracy of their collaboration, plus the endless hours of stream-of-consciousness recorded documentation of rehearsals over the past years, to conceive the crystalline form of Beast Rest Forth Mouth, their second album, their exaltation. |

Air Traffic Control has been hosting artist activism retreats in New Orleans for the last four years. To mark the 5 year anniversary of the storm and floods we thought it appropriate to produce a benefit album. We started by asking the 60 alumni artists who participated in the retreats if they’d be interested in donating a track for a benefit album — we had no idea over half of them would send us music. |

Strange Bedfellows, the third release from The Polyamorous Affair finds the duo offering surprisingly few duets, instead each branching into two distinct styles – Eddie reconnects with his soul roots and traditional songwriting while Sissy taps into dreams and trails off on mystical disco byways. The album is a strangely seductive electronic hybrid laced with haunting guitars and live percussion that pull you in, spellbound. |

By eschewing textual complexity in favor of a simple acoustic guitar and voice combination, Les Shelleys allow a focus on the purity and sweetness of their intermixed voices. Tapping into those inherently romantic and tender qualities of vocal harmonies that serve pop and folk music so well, an instantly likeable, charming personality is given to a time-tested songbook. |
