Velvet Kove ft. DummyFresh - Hazel-Green


Velvet Kove, a 23-year-old artist hailing from Richmond Virginia, is breaking out in the Brooklyn music scene with the help of DummyFresh, a recording artist hailing from Maryland with a background in jazz and classical piano. The two have collaborated on a new track, "Hazel-Green," a song which grieves the loss of a relationship, one which is kept in the present through the small details which only exist between two lovers: waking easily, taking over Park avenue, the feeling of rain entering the apartment. As the artist sings, “You’re the woman in my dreams / I awake easily / My thoughts turn hazel green / Help me”, she is learning how to yearn for what is gone, begging for the past to become reinvented in the future. Velvet Kove and DummyFresh are both members of goodstuff, a new artist collective and record label based out of Brooklyn. With this new track, they are not only creating a name for themselves but for local New York musicians who are putting their heart into music, only asking to be heard, not unlike a song meant for a past lover.

Moses Sumney - Plastic

Moses Sumney - Plastic


Los Angeles genre-bending artist Moses Sumney released his gorgeous and ethereal debut album Aromanticism into the world this September. Sumney has made a big impression on artists like Solange and Sufjan Stevens for good reason. His infusion of soul and folk come together on this album in a way that leaves us begging for more. A prime example of this heavenly blend is found on the third song of the album, “Plastic.” A previous version of the song can be heard on the first season of Issa Rae’s HBO series, Insecure. This new version serves as one of the more simplistic songs on the album, featuring just a fingerpicked electric guitar, a synth and Sumney’s captivating voice. The hook of the song repeats the line “my wings are made of plastic,” each time sung in a slightly different way than it was before, continuing to imbue the phrase with new meaning. This song of vulnerability, self-awareness and secret-spilling is the kind that you can leave on repeat and get lost in for hours.
