[R&B] Blackbear – 〴⋋_⋌〵

bIackbear
〴⋋_⋌〵

Looking up at the title of this new track by Blackbear, you might find yourself wondering, “How exactly do I pronounce that?” Well, the beauty of it is you don’t need to; all that’s required of you is your full, undivided attention. “〴⋋_⋌〵” is the singer’s first original material since the release of Deadroses back in February. We still bump that album from time to time, but it’s definitely refreshing to hear some new music from the L.A. native.
“〴⋋_⋌〵” features the pained crooner in prime form, experiencing a wave of emotions as he migrates through a vivid soundscape designed by Basecamp and GXNXVS.

As Shakespeare would ask, what’s in a name anyway? This latest effort by Blackbear proves that the only thing that matters about a song is how it makes you feel.

Blackbear ft. G-Eazy – 90210 (Matt DiMona Remix) [TMN Premiere]

Blackbear
90210 ft. G-Eazy (Matt DiMona Remix)

Good music knows no bounds. With that said, this is one of those tunes that will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Check out Matt DiMona‘s remix of Blackbear‘s “90210” as he comes back with another episode of “Feel Good House”.

Incorporating a chilled out house beat in the mix, the LA-based producer showcases his mastery of the feel-good element. The bassline provides a nice downtempo groove that’ll keep your ears occupied. Matt DiMona manages to keep his originality without overshadowing Blackbear’s one-of-a-kind vocals. It’s also exemplified when G-Eazy’s verse comes in, which will definitely catch your full attention.

It’s no question that Matt has perfectly engineered a soon-to-be household sound. This remix could as well be your next summertime jam. Make sure to grab a free download, listen to this addicting track and vibe away.

[R&B] Blackbear x 4e – Sidelines

blackbear x 4e
sidelines

If you’ve been paying any attention to our Sunday Night Soul series, then you’ll know that Blackbear has quickly become a bit of a staple on this site. Churning out quality material music on a consistent basis, the LA native has a knack for creating music that’s incredibly relatable and strikes a cord in all the right places. His latest single, a collaboration with production duo 4e, finds the crooner detailing what it feels like to find himself waiting on the “Sidelines.” While you may be wondering exactly what that means at first, the experience is one that should be familiar to most of us. Finding himself embroiled in a relationship that’s currently stranded in ambiguous territory, the frustrated Blackbear goes so far as to say “If I can’t love you, don’t want nobody else to.” Though that may sound a little selfish, it’s probably a sentiment that we’ve all shared at one point or another.

There’s no word on whether Blackbear has any plans for an upcoming project, but the single should be available on iTunes later today. In the meantime hit the play button above and keep the song on repeat until you can snag a copy for yourself.

[Hip-Hop] G-Eazy – Sleepless (Feat. Nylo) (Prod. Blackbear) + Tumblr Girls (Feat. Christoph Andersson) + Last Night (Feat. Kyle & Devon)

While we still have yet to see a release date for These Things Happen, we now have an idea of what level of quality to expect from the upcoming project. It’s clear that G-Eazy is as focused as he’s ever been, as all three of these B-sides sound like they could have easily made it onto his previous efforts. From the tranquil and hazy “Sleepless” alongside Chicagoan songstress NYLO, to the reflective Christoph Andersson-produced “Tumblr Girls,” and finally the laidback, poolside vibes of “Last Night” featuring up and comer KYLE and familiar collaborator Devon, the singles all may vary in style, but they provide a cohesive, polished view of the sonic direction Gerald seems to be headed in with this new album. Download the free tracks below, and don’t forget to grab your tickets for his upcoming tour, which will be hitting the road late next month.

’G Eazy – Sleepless ft. NYLO’
