I know I’m kinda late with this one, but I had to write something about this beautiful “Daybreak” album from London-based musician Hamish Balfour. It’s really an amazing Jazz album of trio pieces with guest vocals from Erik Rico and Tommy Ludgate on Hamster Records. I hope you all enjoy “Believe” just as much as I’m enjoying it right now. Go ahead and buy yourself a copy on …it’s mad cheap!

Finally, the first tracks of Muhsinah‘s The oscillations: Triangle. It’s been a minute since we saw something new from Muhsinah..and Triangle is shaping up to be one of our ’09 favorites.

The oscillations is actually a 2 disc LP; disc one being Sine, which actually was Daybreak 2.0, and that wasn’t new to us. So we’re glad to share these two tracks with you…enjoy..

The Oscillations: Sine by Muhsinah…. It was almost 1 year ago when day.break hit the web. 3 months later, pre.lude [Japan] dropped and 2 weeks after that, a limited run of day.break 2.0 CD hit. Well… it appears to be that time again! For those of you who haven’t gotten your hands on any of the past releases.

The Oscillations: Sine is disc 1 of 2 Oscillations Limited Edition LP’s. Disc 2 The Oscillations: Triangle will be released Winter 2008. Get The Oscillations: Sine here.

About Muhsinah – Pronounced [mu•s?•n?] – Singer, producer, vigilante, lover, dreamer.

Having landed on the musical radar like some kind of a phantom battleship, this Washington D.C. native continues to fires away at us, sinking nay-sayers and making a name for herself at a rate which some might consider alarming. Appearing on a slew of independent releases this year, Muhsinah has earned each and every title that’s been thrown her way- engineer/producer/composer/singer/songwriter/arranger/inspiration and the like. Contrary to popular misconception, Muhsinah was not dropped off on this planet by some enigmatic cosmic force; she hitched a ride on her own star. Listen
