A friend of mine recently put me onto this brand new album from newcomer Erika de Casier, which almost perfectly aligns with some of my all-time favorite artists like Smerz, SASSY 009 and Jessy Lanza. It’s not as intense and hard as those other projects, but de Casier’s tunes are smooth as all hell and sound like they were pulled right from the golden era of night time R&B.

Essentials is only streaming right now, as far as I know. So either stream it on your preferred provider or buy it on vinyl from her website!
