The Music Rag
Nic Hanson's smooth mix of indie/RnB is done so cooly it's almost too good, seriously; with this great vocal range, homey rich vocals, an actually interesting narrative, a chorus so pleadingly authentic you could almost touch it, and just damn catchy hooks, it's no wonder we're so hooked on "Aisha".
Listen to more of his music below, check out our Q&A with Hanson here, and look for his debut album to be released this year.
Teddybears' brand of charming brand of pop for those too cool for pop music shows heavy on their latest single "The Best You Ever Had" featuring Gorilla Zoe. With tasteful distortions, builds and drops enough to make your head swirl, and persistent bass leading on playful riffs, it's too structured for pop, too loose for techno, and just right to turn up on your Friday.
Head to the sites below for more from Teddybears.
Juan Wauters has shared a new music video for "This Is I," a track from his latest album, Who Me?, out now on Captured Tracks. Juan's long time contributor and director of the video, Matthew Volz, spoke to Brooklyn Vegan, who premiered the video today and told them it's a recollection of "life so far, and the belief and disbelief that comes with it. [Juan's] life, or how he remembers -- in the unexplainable poetry of a dream."
Juan has also announced Winter tour dates that include a Valentine's Day show at Shea Stadium in Brooklyn with Tall Juan. All tour dates below.

Billy Fox's palpably smooth flow in new single "East Coast" is warm, dry days and cool, breezy nights, held together with fluid beats and dreamy vocals in a track so enchantingly cool you'll want to listen while driving fast, windows down and the stereo loud.
Drenched in such a heavy mix of nostalgia and promise, we've no doubt this one will be on repeat for awhile.
Be sure to head to the sites below to hear more from Billy Fox and get the single when it drops January 29th.
