Houston’s The Band of The Hawk is on an unstoppable roll. Last year, one of its members — Noah Archangel — released the instrumentally impeccable, “The Machine Wars: Levitikush”. Albeit, the project was seething with outstanding production, one of the most captivating beats was “Ghost In The Machine”. Today, for an in-house celebration of Valentines Day, another member of the clique — Woah Vada — is laying some romantic rhymes to that instrumental, thus offering “Ghost In The Machine (Remix)”. Vada brings a laid-back, Texan swagger to the electronic soundscape of the track. Throughout the entire three-minute and thirty second run-time, there is not a single moment wherein this Southern emcee is in conflict with the bubbly beat. His lyrics jog smoothly across the mix, seasoned by melodies and vibratos he casually slips into his inflection. It does not take a long listen to “Ghost In The Machine (Remix)” to realize that Woah Vada, as well as his The Band of The Hawk team, is onto something special. They are not chained to the typical, Texas sound; and that freedom has them pushing towards new, creative plateaus. Considering “Ghost In The Machine (Remix)”?; it is no argument that they are on the right track. A new wave is preparing to hit the Lonestar state; and The Band of The Hawk is at its helm.

A vibrant, herculean kick, guided by the gush of an 808, is the first thing you’ll hear on this titanic release, “Emotional”. It is an outstanding musical commencement, for it beautifully segues into the iridescent vocals of Sassy Vee; and the “Break Free” EP cut, in an instant, transforms into the sonic ride of a lifetime. “Emotional” is Pop at its foundation; sporting a bubbly, electronic synth that sparkles about the peripherals of piano chords and trap snares. However, the San Diego-born, New Haven-based singer, unleashes pure R&B onto the microphone. She croons, melodizes and harmonizes with the dint of her sprightly soul; squeezing a sensual, amorous jam out of the record. Her voice, truly, hearkens to R&B/Neo-Soul eras of the past, and Sassy Vee masterfully matches it with a cutting-edge sound. In little under three-minutes and thirty seconds, alongside showing she’s a upcoming talent to keep our eyes on next year, she makes certain that her “Break Free” EP is what we’ll keep our ears on for the end of this one. And “Emotional”, in all of its romantic glory, is the ideal appetizer.
