JKriv - Something Else EP (feat Alton Miller Mix) [Razor-N-Tape Reserve]

Razor-N-Tape co-founder JKriv presents a trio of all-original cuts on his Something Else EP, bringing together a cast of local Brooklyn talent as guests to focus attention on dynamic songwriting with club-ready vibes.

On the A1 lead track, a playful funk-laden bassline lays the groundwork for an explosive hook and soaring vocal performance from Brandon Markell Holmes. Live, dynamic instrumentation takes center stage on the soulful Try Again, building to an anthemic climax alongside guests Nic Hanson & Phenomenal Handclap Band, chanting the song's hopeful message.

On the B-side, the laid-back boogie Shoulda Been Me slowly unfurls with a heavy bass, percussive rhythms, and serene synths upholding the layered vocal textures of Toribio (of Conclave). Detroit legend Alton Miller takes the track in a classic soulful deep house direction, with a bouncing Rhodes pattern swirling over solid drums and showcasing Toribio's vocal power in a new light.
