Shamir
Depending how much time you spend on the internet, you’ve either never heard of Shamir, or you’ve seen so much online hype about him recently that you’re rolling your eyes as you read this. If your situation is the former, we strongly recommend you check this kid out straight away. After receiving the Las Vegas singer’s demo, the people at Godmode Records were so blown away the power of his piercing, androgynous voice he was immediately flown out to Brooklyn to record tracks for his recently released Northtown EP. While Shamir’s musical history involves a punk band and lo-fi indie duo Anorexia (who released the excellent EP Bedroom Songs last year), he’s recently found his true calling by singing over excellently crafted, organic-feeling and emotionally uplifting house tracks. Talent like this only comes around once in a while, and we can’t wait to see how Shamir’s career unfolds.
