Quasilulu || Quasilulu 2
Indie, iaList
This is Quasilulu's sophomore album, aptly named Quasilulu 2. Now aside from the lack of creativity or maybe ingenious direction of calling it number 2, this album is a little thicker than their first. With 10 tracks available for your listening pleasure the sound this time around is vaguely familiar but with a slighter edge. Coupled with strings, a more intense production style, Rona's voice and quite intricate lyrics this album is indefinetly stronger than their first. With their album cover doused in a psychotic Pollock-like red it's sure to stand out versus the mellow green they had with their first. Tracks to catch: Atlantis, Give Me Love.

Nivla || Singles
R&B, iaList
With all artists trying to break out in this massive music industry, one would hope that an emerging talent excompasses talent, creativity and that "it" factor. Check out Nivla, and see if he got what it takes to smooth you over with his riffs and rhymes. His single "Be Easy" is something to keep an ear out for.
