The Contenders: Barnaby, straight-out-the-gate, 22-year-old UK native making luscious R&B vs. Debian Blak. You've heard Blak before with his tracks "
Push It" and "
Chemistry." This Leeds-based producer has proved a penchant for female R&B vocalists, but this time he's got a new muse -- a triple-threat dude of the Frank Ocean variety.
"Fresh Made Lemonade" displays a slightly different aspect to Blak's production. Where he's toyed with post-dubstep and garage with previous releases, here he opts for that fuzzy area of electronic/indie dance that's easier to describe by comparison -- like the epic, journey-esque tracks of Cosmonaut Grechko or the indie disco-tastic Roosevelt.
Debian's careful to keep the spirit of the
original while resolutely lifting the mood to levels of pure elation. "Fresh Made Lemonade" drops October 14, so keep your Tumblr hooks in
