This Love “(Ferringo Remix)”. New single by Kendra Black Produced by Italian producer Vittorio Ferrigno “This Love” is full of jangles and distortions held together with the through-line of Black’s urgent voice. If you are a fan, this is a must if only to hear how she can be molded and sculpted into a pop/electro format. Available at kendrablackmusic.com and on all digital platforms
“Spanglish” J.I with Myke Towers. Single and video. The Brooklyn-based Latin breakout rapper teams up with Latin trap rapper Myke Towers to produce a mostly English song that weaves both styles together in music that keeps your head bobbing, but does not engage your brain. The slickly produced video will drive feminists up the wall with its only woman being mostly decorative, despite being the object of the song. But, put it on repeat as you go about your da to keep our energy up and just enjoy.
