#shaylen

Shaylen has been a smoldering songstress to watch on our list ever since she graced numerous songs from many of our favorite electronic producers with her sensational voice, so spicy and piquant, rich and sonorous. The singer songwriter, originally from Dallas, made her solo debut on El Dorado a few months ago, and she just performed at The Peppermint Club in Los Angeles a couple nights ago. Shaylen now returns with Isn’t You, which Shaylen says “...is a breakup song that just makes you forget that the bad shit ever happened.” To be honest, I don’t remember much else at all when I’m lost in her confident hip hop and R&B-inflected pop vocals on the snappy, feisty, yet somber breakup ballad. Shaylen’s Isn’t You is out on Republic. Stream/purchase the single, here.

Everything Win and Woo has given us in the exciting few years we’ve been fans have been “gold”. With each new release, the Chicago duo succeeded in disclosing even more of their strength and talent, surprising us and thrilling us with their growing shape shifting and ballooning versatility. It’s obvious Win and Woo have even more treasure hiding up their sleeves as they return with Gold, a moody prancer featuring magnetic Shaylen on guest vocals. Gold is a mid-tempo banger with a darker synth line and a sharp edge. It cuts into the heart like a gilded knife yet comforts with its luscious throbbing beauty. By the end of Gold, we’re dancing without abandon in pure bewitchment. Steal our hearts, break them to pieces, but we’ll never stop dancing to the buoyant euphoria that is Win and Woo’s weaving, bobbing orchestration. Stream/download Gold, here.
