You Should Be Listening To: Kristopher NewdayPosted on Tue, Feb 16, 2010
Perhaps, the first and only thing that comes to mind when you ponder notable music hailing from Baltimore is soul/pop group Dru Hill. But this is a new day in music! In fact, up-and-coming producer, musician, and vocalist Kristopher Newday is prepared to embody just that mantra and re-tune your ears away from the mediocrity that dominates the present airwaves. While building his personal portfolio of tracks for a 2010 Mixtape, Newday is currently desirous of building his network with other artists and producers (hit him up at kristopherjdmurrell@gmail.com ). One notable collab in the works is with Hiphop/Soul artist Black Spade.
Inspired by ethereal sound masters like J Dilla and Nicolay, Mr. Newday brings you a few musical appetizers to whet your soul. (for more, visit http://www.youtube.com/user/KristopherNewdayTV)
“Say I Do” resonates with a 9th Wonder – styled rolling beat and sample play, to the extent that the beginning of the track has you anticipating a Little Brother track. And yet Newday’s vocals pour over the beat like maple syrup. Did I say smooth? See for yourself.
“2 Women” is actually a free style of sound and vocals…yes sometimes Mr. Newday is a ONE TAKE WONDER when the spirit moves him! The track is reminiscent of the true music heads who are still driven by their craft and not the $…although with his talent, it’s coming!
