Jkriv Something Else 12-Inch Single Vinyl

Razor-N-Tape co-founder JKRIV delivers a trio of all-original cuts on his 'Something Else' EP, bringing together a cast of featured hometown Brooklyn talent to center dynamic songwriting with club-ready vibes. On the A1 title track, a playful funk-laden bassline lays the foundation for an explosive hook and soaring vocal performance from Brandon Markell Holmes. Dynamic live instrumentation take center stage in the soulful 'Try Again', which builds to an anthemic peak as guests Nic Hanson and Phenomenal Handclap Band intone the song's hopeful message. On the flip, the laid-back boogie groover 'Shoulda Been Me' slow-burns with heavy bass, percussive rhythms, and serene synth-work to support the layered vocal textures by Toribio (of Conclave). Detroit legend Alton Miller takes the tune in a classic soulful deep house direction, with a bouncing rhodes pattern revolving over solid drums, and showcasing Toribio's vocal prowess in a new light.
