Welcome back to The Daily Note’s weekly “New Music Spotlight”— where we talk about music your ears should be on, by artists to keep your eyes on. Let's get into this week's top three new picks.
First Pick: “2 things” by Q & Marco McKinnis highlights love and desire as the coveted experiences they are. The writing and vocal performances on this track are sentimentally rich— creating a sense of profound yearning. This synergetic collaboration between the two adept-rising artists is undeniably refreshing. The aforementioned song is track 9 from singer-producer Q’s recent album “DO YOU SEE ME?” released August 7.
Second Pick: “GOT YOU” by Noah Guy thrives in a soulful and dreamy pocket. The layered vocals and ad-libs enhance this songs rhythmic groove. Like many of the songs released by the budding R&B singer, this song is abundant in texture, inspiring a sonic atmosphere shaped by resonance. This is the artist’s latest single following the release of his debut album “MEMORIA , in blue.”
Third Pick: “Turn You Up” by Chikoruss is a fun-loving and flirtatious vibe. This song is full of bass, bounce, and production that early 2000s R&B lovers will appreciate. The emerging R&B singer gave us one more banger to dance to before we have to say farewell to summer.
