New Artist Alert - Cris Cab

It's the typical Youtube fairytale! This 18 year old Miami kid filmed himself covering songs with his guitar and posted them on his Youtube account. Then bam, non other than Super Star producer Pharrell Williams discovered him and signed him up to his Billionaire Boys Club label.

With support and guidance from a musical genius such as Pharrell, the results are bound to be blinding. Cab's new EP 'Echo Boom' features the likes of Melanie Fiona, Mavado, Shaggy and Pharrell himself; not bad for a kid who hasn't had a record out yet!

'Echo Boom' contains an infusion of instruments, quality production, bluesy vocals, and impressive lyrics. This is a summer EP that you'll be playing out loud with your shades on and car windows down. 

Reggae sounds echo throughout the mixtape and his voice is reminiscent of new UK artist Maverick Sabre. 

My favourite tracks on the EP are 'Cross Your Fingers' and 'Rihanna's Gun'. 

'Rihanna's Gun' is real mixture of Reggae plus Drum & Bass, a mixture very rarely dabbled with by artists but Cab smashes it and I'm sure it will propel Cris Cab miles ahead of new up and coming artists.

Watch the video below for 'Rihanna's Gun'. This song in a nutshell is what this fresh, young artist is all about.
