As the years pass it becomes more and more important to me to spread the vibes emerging from the San Francisco Bay Area. I've lived here for five years, and while I am no expert on the subject, it brings me great joy to expose Bay Area talent to the world.
Enter Yared Kiflai, an Oakland artist whose debut single "CGH" is worth a spin or two or twelve. Today I'm sharing something a bit more on the R&B side of the spectrum, but no less vibrant, and no less telling of the talent Kiflai brings to the table.
As Kiflai told Earmilk, "One morning, I found myself up earlier than usual when a good friend sent me the beat for '7:30.' The hook came to me the first time I listened to the track. Before long I had the groundworks to one of my favorite songs to date and it all came to me in one morning.”
Look for "7:30" to appear on Yared's debut EP, which I suspect will be out by summer.
