Witch Prophet - "Time Traveler ft. Lido Pimienta"

Pretty sure it was Nik from The Precious Lo's who first tipped me off to Witch Prophet. Basically anything tangentially related to long-time RR faves TPL is worth a listen and this is the case with this fantastic Toronto spiritual soul act (Ayo Leilani on vocals and DJ Sun Sun on production)

When I first meant to post this entry, the Bandcamp stream was limited to just a couple singles including the fire collab with Lido Pimienta below, but the record came out last Friday and it can be streamed / purchased in its entirety now.

The Precious Lo's & Tyler Smith - Night Ridin' EP

To paraphrase The Starters' Trey Kerby, "they're back" baby. It's been more than a minute since The Precious Lo's got some love on RR, but they just dropped a new EP with Tyler Smith called Night Ridin' and while you really can't f**k with any of it, my jam is definitely "Still the Same" which could have found a place on a Tony! Toni! Toné! record which puts in smack-dab in the middle of my wheelhouse.

Anthony Valadez - "Searching For (ft. Miles Bonny)"

Credit where it's due. I got hip to Anthony Valadez because of past RR loves, The Precious Lo's. They guest on "Naive" from the In Search Of... LP and hearing that cut got me primed for the full-length. It's a stunner. Start with "Searching For" featuring repeat collaborator Miles Bonny and then check out the rest of the album stream on label Plug Research's Soundcloud page.

The Precious Lo's - EP

I was gone, but now I'm back. Took some time off to celebrate / deal with the birth of my third son on Halloween. Wasn't at work, wasn't listening to any new music but back at both now and top of the list to check out was this self-titled EP from Toronto duo The Precious Lo's. Been waiting on this for a bit and it was worth the wait and then some. COP IT ON BANDCAMP!!

The Precious Lo's - "More Than Friends (ft. Maylee Todd)"

More goodness from two of Toronto's finest.
