SiR
Seven Sundays
(Fresh Selects)

If you can dive into the likes of electro artists Autre Ne Veut and JMSN, and still get down with Drake and The Weeknd, Inglewood, CA-based singer-songwriter SiR will rock your earbuds with his atmospheric soul/R&B record, Seven Sundays, via Fresh Selects. Having recently worked on R&B star Jill Scott’s latest LP, Woman (“Fool’s Gold,” “Prepared,” and “Can’t Wait”), Darryl Farris expertly crafts tracks that bob and weave with bounce and flavor that it’s hard not to vibe to. With production by Knxwledge (“The Bullet and the Gun”) — who also worked on Kendrick Lamar’s critical success, To Pimp a Butterfly (“Momma”), Seven Sundays is a lo-fi, off kilter success that’s genuinely rich and alternative, yet soulful and fresh.
