Sunday at 1:45pm. 4 bands on at this time. Once again I don't recognize any of them. We'll start with Amber Mark. According to Wikipedia:
"Amber Mark was born on December 29, 1993 on a farm in Tennessee to a Jamaican father and a German mother whose name was Mia. The family lived in Miami, New York and eventually moved to a Darjeeling monastery in India so that her mother could learn thangka painting. After spending a few years there, they moved back to her mother's home country.[3] Mia died on 3 June 2013 at the age of 60."
Wow. According to this Pitchfork interview, since high school she has been living in the West Village above the restaurant owned by her godparents. She took up playing music and now, at 27, has released a few EPs, an online album, and lots of singles. It looks like her proper debut album is coming out soon according to Stereogum.
She sounds a lot like Sade. She's even covered her song "Love is Stranger than Pride". According to the comments it was featured in an episode of "Insecure".
Here's her newest single. I haven't researched the other artists on at this time but she is going to be tough to top.
