fractures | fractures ep | won’t win | official video
Fractures (Mark Zito) delivers a sure hit with his latest Won’t Win.. The lead single, from the upcoming Fractures EP release, ebbs with tension which feels like a slight constriction about one’s heart. Surely, there is trouble in the kingdom of love. And as I watched the vid I noticed a lot of the frames are back-lit wit red (passion), green (jealousy) and blue (peace and tranquility). The subtext can be easily read as the color spectrum representation of human relationships. No? And get this, the Fractures EP drops July 4th, the day in the U.S where the literal fireworks fly. Is this all some sort of mad coincidence? No matter. Continue reading “fractures | fractures ep | won’t win | official video”

sita | you’re nobody ’till somebody loves you | video
Sita delivers a spellbinding rendition of James Arthur’s classic You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You. Her approach and execution are sparse, yet nonetheless effectively breath taking. Listen as she twists and turns this song into coiled honey. Pulling it inside out sweetly and deftly with an angel’s voice. This one leaves your ears a bloody mess by songs end. I got vertigo on the first listen, so you’ve been warned.
Expect much more from the phenomenal Sita Yebga in 2014, and like always The Earology Dept. will keep you in the loop. Peace. Continue reading “sita | you’re nobody ’till somebody loves you | video”
