Today, the world of music celebrates the fifth anniversary of Kaytranada’s legendary 99.9% album. With contributions from Anderson .Paak, Craig David, Syd and several others, the project perfectly fused electronic soundscapes with R&B vibes for a soulful masterpiece. While we can’t return to the time that Kaytranada released that immaculate body of work, we can discover that same feeling in music that was released just this month.
Kicking off an exciting weekend of new releases, an R&B duo by the name of Tropic has delivered a smooth single called “Be The One.” Based out of Brooklyn, Filipino singer-songwriter Jo-B Sebastian and California-born producer Phuse play off each other beautifully in this funky and smooth song. Adding to the special feeling that the song delivers, the two crafted it in a way to “celebrate what makes us unique, and to remind us that we’re more than our insecurities.”
“Be The One” adds to an exciting weekend of releases. This Friday, Isaiah Rashad, J. Cole, Coi Leray, Toosii and Tee Grizzley all plan on dropping new music. Hopefully, this single can add some R&B to the heavy weekend of rap releases. Check out “Be The One” below.
