DIFFERENT SLEEP - FIRST TO SAY (FT. VANESSA ELISHA)

I'm just gonna say I love Vanessa Elisha's voice. We've been big supporters of this up-and-coming Aussie and I couldn't stop myself from supporting her new tune with Different Sleep. "First To Say" is a moody tune that slowly builds from ambient sounds and and moving pads into a vibey drop with pumping sub and two step percussion. The track envelopes you with emotional fervor as Vanessa's moving vocals entreat you to bob your head back and forth. This track is juicy and is totally ready for your rainy afternoon. You can stream this tune on Spotify here.

VANESSA ELISHA - FRIENDLY SKIES

R&B may not be my favorite type of music, but there's something to be said for the way it can really set a mood, tug at emotions, and get you feeling some kinda way. Vanessa Elisha is not only the homie (we got late night Mexican food once) but she is also one of the hottest artists coming out of Australia right now that isn't a future bass producer or indie pop/dance group. Her brand of Alt/Future R&B can be seen in the form of massive collaborations with a slew of incredible producers from XXYYXX to Ekali. This cover of the legendary Missy Elliott and Ginuwine's "Friendly Skies" is as close to perfection as you can get for a 2016 tribute to this 1997 classic from Missy's debut album Supa Dupa Fly. The complete rework of the production is so fresh, and her signature vocal delivery doesn't just tug at the heartstrings, it melts them. This comes ahead of her long-awaited debut EP, "It's a Day and Night Thing" due in November, which will boast production from Sweater Beats, Different Sleep, XXYXX and others, and is bound to be a breakout piece of work for Vanessa. 

FALCONS & EKALI - I WON'T LIE FT. VANESSA ELISHA

I always try to make room in the day for some serious bass, and holy cow this one is on fleek! From two artists who have both been scheduled to play our SXSW party but one had to cancel because of some unavoidable circumstances, Falcons and Ekali have just released a new original collab "I Won't Lie ft. Vanessa Elisha" that has got me feeling some kind of way! So much sexyness here with deep drops and heavy bassy beats under sweet vocals - nailed it! You can grab a free download HERE!

VANESSA ELISHA - OUT OF TIME (PRODUCED BY XXYYXX)

Let's slow things down a bit with a little afternoon delight, shall we!  Last year we saw Australian vocalist Vanessa Elisha featured on XXYYXX track "Unknown" -- and we kind of swooned over her sultriness then!  Today she releases her new track "Out Of Time" which is produced by XXYYXX, and we can see history repeat itself.  Danm this is a sexy track!  Get lost in her soulful voice .... she slays this one!
