The instantly recognisable velvet vocals of former Azari & III singer - Cédric Gasaïda aka Starving Yet Full are the centre piece of this sleekly produced deep house-meets-electronic soul ballad by Moscow-based producer Funkformer. The beguiling melody and SYF's flawless vocal performance are paired with a fittingly stylish video directed by Alexey Puzikov and Victoria Vorontsova. "In Love With" EP is out now.




The sought-after Canadian singer of Rwandan descent has also recently featured on "Euphoria" - a track taken from Pavel Dovgal's upcoming album "The Aura". Cédric Gasaïda once again bringing the soul back to electronica.

SHREM'S NEWBIES BUT TO-BE'S: "LOVE TO HATE IT" - Off Bloom


One can never have enough of new Scandinavian synth pop acts right? One of my favourite fellow bloggers - Disco Naïveté was singing this new Danish trio's praises the other day. "Love To Hate It" is a richly produced slice of Nordic Pop and places Off Bloom confidently on the map of European POP. Catchy yet alternative, this effervescent, unpretentious song may just be the remedy we need in yet another mediocre week for POP new releases.

Check out the whole "Love To Hate It" EP below.

The video was directed by Nadia Marquard Otzen.
