We made a guest mix for our friends over at Pretty Much Amazing. They have a new series called Wild Pitch in which they invite some of their most trusted internet friends to curate mixes for their readers. You can check out the original entry here.
”We’re living in a post-The Weeknd world. After Abel Tesfaye’s and Frank Ocean’s success last year, a new breed of innovative R&B artists emerged. It could be a coincidence or just really good timing, but if you listen to Julian, JMSN and Scott Kidd, you can’t deny that there is a strong The Weeknd influence in their work. Even Usher surprised us this year with his Diplo collaboration on “Climax”. We’re all anticipating his next album, that is scheduled to come out this year, as it might change the current state of commercial R&B. We hope that mainstream artists such as Rihanna, Rita Ora and Chris Brown will ditch the David Guetta-like beats and go back to the sound of 90s and early 00s R&B.”
