Happy Friday kids! Here at B.B., our Fridays are absolutely sacred to us as we are greeted with an abundance of new and fresh music. One of my personal picks that I couldn’t pass up on is the new collaboration from steadily rising pop singer/songwriter Kailee Morgue and globally recognized electronic producer Whethan. In light of today being Whethan’s birthday, I figured there was no better day than today to share their single “Do You Feel This Way.” The track showcases the two's irrefutable musical chemistry through Kailee’s fervent vocals and Whethan’s evenly-paced rhythms that match the aesthetic set by the calm, yet confrontational lyrics. This one is an undeniable jam that you’re going to find yourselves putting on replay.

KULTUR - OFF TO GET LOST
Music, Original MixCommentFrance-native Kultur is most definitely one of my favorite up and coming artists of 2018. After he made waves - no pun intended - with his captivating release, “Ocean,” the adroit artist has once again crafted a piece that wields great depth and pulchritude. The title of his new single, “Off To Get Lost,” could not be more fitting as it's a spiraling musical journey that listeners will discover themselves getting lost in. Embellished throughout with shadowy vocal chops, the song enters with rounded percussives that advance to a rapid, quivering rhythm. The beat then intertwines with mystic, beckoning synths and dreamy vocals that paint a lulling illusion of being lifted off the ground. Possessing a track record of music as beautiful as his, I’d strongly advise you to put Kultur on your radar.
