The Fantastic 4

 

If you think good music is dead, this four artists will make you think again...

1. Selah Sue loves Nneka, Lauryn Hill and Miss Badu. She opened for Prince, did a track with Ceelo. And 'RaggaMuffin' her first full length album is hip-hop, reggea, and soul.
Not too bad for a young girl who grew up in a small town in Belgium

2. Paris, Amber, and Anita from LA based trio KING created a huge buzz on their world wide web last week with 'THE STORY' their first EP. The lead single 'The story' is already a T+S favorite

3. Andy Allo: With Cameroonian, German & Welsh roots this Sacramento resident Andy Allo is not your average songstress. She calls her music Alter.Hip.Soul a subtle melange of alternative, hip hop and soul.

4. 22 years old Irma is a beautiful and refreshing talent. Discovered on YouTube with acoustic covers of The Jackson 5, Macy Gray, Ben Harper (...)  she's just released 'Letter to the Lord,' a beautifully crafted debut album.

Wonderful Watercolours

We first came across Sujean Rim's lovely illustrations through her client work with Tiffany's and Barneys. But she is probably best known for her travail with DailyCandy. Crafted in New York, her painterly drawings, which are both fantastical and rich in style, peek into seemingly stolen moments. Visions of the sweet life... n'est ce pas ?
