FRESH Artist:Opolopo featuring Amalia

Sweden has definitely been opening up my ears to some dope music these past years, from DJ's Roland Arnoldt & Jay Scarlett on their Bass Boulevard Show Days, to Little Dragon (def. waiting on their new one) and now to Opolopo. Im kind of new on this producer, forgive me, but browsing through some of his tracks, "Step into the Light" is egging me on to dig deeper...             
                                                                    

He's a funky producer tightening the grips of Nu-Jazz in Europe, and with vocalist Amalia balancing out the tracks with her heavy soul, this shit they are collabing on is all lovely to me.

Amalia, claims Vancouver,Canada & Manila, Phillipines as her homes according to her myspace, but with recordings on labels like Especial Japan, Emmek Acid Jazz Italy, Verve, and Sonar Kollectiv, to name a few, her voice and charismatic singing steez is being felt universally. Keep an ear out for her Debut Album with Opolopo, hopefully being released soon. In the mean time...dig' em if you please, Amalia and Opolopo are really layin' it thick with the soulfulness.
