Singing sensation Kevin Michael is back with his brand new street album, LISA, which he debuted via his Tumblr and Twitter. The 13 track free album features all new original material from the former Downtown Records signee.
Not typical of most the music being put it out, LISA is a great mix of old and new, merging the two sounds in harmony. Adding elements of old school R&B, pop and house isn’t always an easy task, however, this body of work has an undeniable cohesiveness.
Kevin Michael offers up a brand new cover of the SWV classic, “Use Your Heart,” from their second studio album, 1996′s New Beginning.
Michael is currently working on his sophomore album as well as penning tracks for other artists. No word on when he’s planning to release another single (check out previous releases here), but look for more new material from Kevin next year.
Do you remember the artist formerly known as Kevin Michael? Well, he’s back with his new band THEY, a crafty acronym standing for THE YOUTH. Check out the newest addition to their catalog with the track, “FatBack,” a sexy, summertime synth ode to a woman’s rear end, which will appear on THEY’s upcoming EP, tentatively titled THEY are COMING, which will drop just in time for the summer.
The second taste K gives us is “Freak,” a more aggressive Rick James-esque track, a little more straight-forward than his last track, “Areola,” that we posted months ago. Either way, the EP is shaping up to be what THEY describes as “drenched Euro-synth, ’80′s funk and tons of electro love.“ Look for more this summer.
Do you remember the artist formerly known as Kevin Michael? Well, he’s back, with a new band, entitled THEY with a brand new track entitled, “Areola.”
Kevin, who now refers to himself only as K, alongside THEY and B. Kidd produced this new sound that he’s going for.
THEY will follow K through his futuristic journey, Looking For L.I.S.A., in which they recorded their album as if it were the years 1980-1989, with influences like David Bowie, Queen, Michael Jackson, George Michael, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Prince and Cameo, to name a few.
