JKriv brings together a cast of featured hometown Brooklyn talent on his Something Else EP to deliver dynamic songwriting with club-ready vibes. His A1 track, “The Title Track,” features an explosive hook and soaring vocal performance from Brandon Markell Holmes as he centers the entire composition around live instrumentation that takes center stage throughout its soulful duration; it builds towards one final peak before closing out strong at just over two minutes long (don’t worry it’s not too short!).

Guests Nic Hanson & Phenomenal Handclap Band help intone hope into listeners’ hearts during these powerful lyrics: “I won’t give up try again/ Until I get what I deserve.”

The laid-back boogie groover Shoulda Been Me is given an elegant twist with heavy bass, percussive rhythms and serene synth work to support the layered vocal textures by Toribio (of Conclave). Detroit legend Alton Miller takes this tune in a classic soulful deep house direction where he uses his trademark rhodes pattern as well as solid drums which showcase how talented this talent really seems.
