Def Sound...

Today , since I love talking about artists with very unusual and brilliant concepts...I just HAD to introduce you to Def Sound hailing from California, who I discovered thanks to Jneiro Jarel , Check his album "Something" which is totally unbelievable. Featured below, his latest video..enjoy!!!

"Easy To Love" Video Premiere.

Dear all,

Here is the first video of "Fine Line" Album. The video was shot by Roosevelt Campbell from Great Mind Films. The team was amazing and there was an incredible energy on set!!! We all had an unforgettable day. The concept was meant to be very clean and simple with a focus on a universal message which as you can tell, is all about loving and sharing. Junius Bervine (N.E.R.D) produced this track which is a mix of Jazz, Hip Hop beats and Caribbean percussions. I remember the day Junius and Clay Sears met us at Flow NY studio and came out with those incredible harmonies ... The whole project came out so edgy I thought.I really had to find a way to put vocals that would bring out this originality. It is so great to work with such inspiring teams...

"See Them Cry" Jneiro Jarel featuring Cilla K.

So very recently, I had the opportunity to work on a captivating project which would be featured on genius Hip Hop producer Jneiro Jarel's vinyl AMAZONICA.How we met is quite amazing and I totally fell in love with one of his tracks originally called "Painted Tears" so when he proposed to me to collab on this VERY track I was in heaven! First of all, the melody in itself was pretty incredible but the concept was probably what attracted me the most. It was totally in agreement with my philosophy and former creations which I thought was a striking coincidence. Take a listen, "See Them Cry" snippet is featured below.

CILLA K. DEBUT ALBUM IS OUT!

I am so happy and excited to tell you all that the Debut album "Fine Line" is out. (www.myspace.com/cilla212)

The album has 15 tracks (among which 2 interludes) and reveals the progression of an artistic vision and sensibility through the years spent in New York.
The tracks have various influences , indie alternative beats for some, jazzy vocals for others, and a strong hip hop flavor...but I also wanted my origins to be present in this album in diverse ways.First, I want to show all my gratitude to Junius Bervine (from N.E.R.D) for working with me on this project, I can't tell how fortunate I've been to work with him. He produced "Fine Line", "Drive You Home", "Evil Child" and "Easy to Love"."Connected" was produced by me , lyrics and bass by ,David Pattillo. "Drive you Home Remix" was produced by me and DJ Sky(very talented beat maker I had the chance to meet in Guadeloupe). "Black and White" was produced by Danny P.(who worked with Joss Stone), "Lost in You" was remixed by Mr.Khaliyl from Da Bush Babees but originally produced by D.Pattillo, "Nomad" was produced by Dr. Jango (my new revelation from Germany, he is incredibly gifted), "Future" was produced by DJ Sky and I. "We are One","Rise on Me","Hallucination", "Demain","Child of the Universe"were produced by me.Beat making has always been a passion but I am getting more and more experimental with it as time goes by and I learned so much from all those talented people .I want to thank D.Pattillo for being such a talented lyricist and for having been here all those years. I hope I did not forget anybody ....but the credits will be more detailed on the physical album. You can listen to "Easy to love" listed below and some other new tracks on myspace page.
With all my love,
Cilla K.
