Ladi6 - Ikarus

From the June 2013 album release (name unknown) Ladi6 comes through with a laid-back but heart-felt groove driven by a heavily reverbed/delayed arpeggiated synth line, a simple backbeat, and the usual gorgeous/husky vocal layering...enhanced by an excellent video from local video luminary, Askew One (www.askew1.com). I have been a sucker for Ladi6 for a couple of years, so maybe I am coming into this with a hefty dose of bias. Discarding that second-guess though, this is a high quality offering. "Ikarus" was recorded in Detroit, Michigan at Studio A, which according to promotional material (sorry much of what is driving this blog post and others today), was the recording home of hiphop producer JDilla. The song, and upcoming album, were produced by Parks (Ladi6's creative and life partner) and Detroit local Wajeed. This single was mastered by Tom Coyne, who has previously worked with Beyonce, Adele and D'Angelo. To buy Ladi6's music, please go to the Bandcamp link below. I have included some other social media and website links below that.
