FIRST LISTEN: SARAH WILLIAMS WHITE

I always appreciate new, creative ways of producing pop music. And for that I give my gratitude to SWW (Facebook // Twitter) for releasing some deceptively minimal and surprisingly great tracks. Watch her latest release, 'Your Silence is Killing Me,' above and then listen to 'Take Your Time' and 'If I Smile At You Below.' You'll notice clean beats, warm melodies and catchy hooks centered around cool lyrical treatment, reminiscent of Erykah Badu style grooves. Her tracks seem to focus around her intricate vocal tricks, layering her smooth R&B style. The nod to 'Killing Me Softly' is a nice touch as well. Dig.
