There seems to be a handful of cities in the world that gives us a large percentage of the best emerging artists. Toronto is certainly one of them, especially when it comes to cutting edge R&B inspired music. Case in point, Tom Probizanski, who drops irresistible R&B funk and urban pop tunes as Zanski. Tom is influenced by artists like Childish Gambino, D’Angelo, and James Vincent McMorrow, which certainly shows in his recent single Don’t Say Later. It’s a contagious strutting jam with Jai Paul like funk guitars and Gallant level vocal calisthenics. Once you’ve been seduced by this jam, you won’t be able to “say later” when it comes to returning for more Zanski. Don’t Say Later can also be streamed via Spotify, here.

San Francisco’s own orchestral indie rock collective The Family Crest are back with a new tour announcement and a fresh EP on the way, and judging by the way their new single Mirror Love sounds, they’ve taken off in an exciting new direction, too. Mirror Love, which arrives with a kaleidoscopic video, is a funkadelic experience that swoops us up with its sooty, sultry vibes. Danger Mouse and Broken Bells with a dash of the Bee Gees’ hey days in the 70′s permeate this bold new The Family Crest. Toss in their usual lush strings and brassy bedazzlement and we have an eye opening, ear pleasing experience. The Family Crest will kick off their tour on April 28th in Los Angeles to celebrate the release of their new EP Prelude To War that same day.

R&B inspired synthpop and electronica has certainly been flourishing in Denmark. Aside from LISS and plenty other great artists and bands, the Dane’s also call Scarlet Pleasure their own. The band, lead by satin voiced Emil Goll, has captured our attention fully with their new single Deja Vu, a bluesy rolling, funk twisting, and R&B popping jam that sinks its hooks in deep. Despite a polished veneer, Emil Goll brings plenty of raw appeal to the track. Years and Years meets Jai Paul on the fiery jam, a seductive tease in every way. Deja Vu is out now and available, here, via Copenhagen Records.

I’m infinitely glad I stumbled upon a brand new Island Apollo song during my Soundcloud exploits earlier today. The Orange County five piece thrilled me with their lively rock in past years, and they’ve been silent for far too long. If it’s some funky, gritty, and bluesy pop rock that you’re craving for, Island Apollo is here to save the day with their smoky charcoal burner Hold It Down. The new infectious jam was produced by Eric Lilavois (Saint Motel, Atlas Genius), and it’s like a confluence of Arctic Monkeys’ sooty snarl, Jungle or Tender’s swanky groove, and Atlas Genius’ sleek electro veneer. With this release, Island Apollo quickly re-establishes themselves as one of Southern California’s bands to watch.
