Shes 20 years old, fluent in French and Japanese, and has released just three songs to date but Vibration—which premiered mere months ago—has already clocked up 300k plus plays. The appeal is clear: like Jhene Aiko, the Japanese/Native American Indian singer blends fresh pop melodies and sparkling sonics with an R&B kick. Pulling from influences as varied as Stevie Wonder, Aaliyah, Kraftwork, and Bjork, the LA-based artist has been penning tunes since she was 12 and is now signed to Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records, home to Elliphant and Juicy J. What’s more pertinent though is Black’s collaboration with awesome English electronicist SOHN (who’s worked with Miguel, SZA, and Banks), alongside fellow producer Billboard (Robyn, Madonna) to create Anchor. Premiering below, Anchor is a breathy synth-pop cut boasting a sheeny chorus, as instantly appealing as any of Lorde’s greatest hits. It’s a song that follows Kissing,OVR AGN, and Vibration—the fourth taster from her forthcoming five-track, self-titled EP. Here’s Anchor, plus we called up Black to find out a little bit more about what makes her tick and how her parents' influence is integral to where her sound's at now.
