lluvii (double single release), Blakchyl, EddieAngel [inside]

Different tempos, styles, instrumentation, and influences come together in a cohesively danceable lineup: lluvii, Blakchyl, and EddieAngel form the kind of bill that going-out dreams are made of. Jazz-influenced pop sensualist EddieAngel starts the night with silky smooth, hip-swaying beats and vibrato vocals reminiscent of R&B’s biggest stars. Then Blakchyl gets your shoulders involved with her stripped-down, keys- and drums-driven rap tracks, laced with dreamy synth loops. lluvii’s cumbia funk/bedroom pop fusion demands whole body movement: snap and sing along if you can. If your feet can keep up, their newly released singles are the cherry on top of a groove-heavy sundae at Stubb’s. – Caroline Drew
