Enigo, “Cigarettes & Cheap Sweet Wine” (ft. Kella T.)

Producer and musician Elliott Garfias teams up with smoky-sounding vocalist Kella T. for a slinky, hypnotizing pop-soul single as alluring as the title itself. Taking influence from the late Amy Winehouse, “Cigarettes & Cheap Sweet Wine” exudes confidence and charm, and the saxophone solos don’t hurt, either. bit.ly/3sYujd1

Jesse Pino, “Only a Shadow”

Veteran pop-punk singer-songwriter Jesse Pino branches into new territory, giving us his best Damon Albarn delivery and employing more production, like echoing reverb on his vocals. Has Pino found a new sound? We’ll have to wait for his next release to find out. spoti.fi/3c9n38d

Reeko Blakk, “4 Dayz”

With a deep and sticky bassline, Vegas MC Reeko Blakk conjures an uber-chill vibe suited for late nights with friends … or maybe a Tinder friend with benefits. If, like us, you love “4 Dayz,” dig into the Vegas artist’s three 2020 singles next. spoti.fi/39hQD9P

Sabriel, “Love Again”

The sultry, velvet-voiced singer returned with this December single, evoking the magical, whimsical feeling of finding love after you thought it couldn’t happen again. Looking to hear more from the songstress? Head to her YouTube channel (bit.ly/2LUW85D), where she recently covered indie-crowd faves by Frank Ocean and Radiohead. sabriel.bandcamp.com
