I just have to rep these guys and not just because they're out of Dubai (singer is a Emirati) but because they really are excellent IMO. A refreshing modern, slightly jazzy sound with soul, but also not mainstream. Singer's voice can vaguely be compared to John Legend I guess, but again, these guys are not in the R&B mould and honestly have a more soulful edge than John Legend's stuff. Check it out: Abri's My Space page Abri's facebook You can also find some live videos on youtube. I'm asking them if I can rip their music into mp3 format so I can send it across to people, I'll let you know after I ask if you're interested. Let me hear some comments as I'm a big supporter of the local music scene.
Good stuff. Seems like it would make for great party music, and sounds like something you'd hear while shopping at Old Navy.
