NEW MUSIC: The Precious Lo’s – More Than Friends feat. Maylee Todd + Remix feat. Korry Deez
New joint from The Precious Lo’s. Maylee Todd on the assist plus there’s a remix with my dude Korry Deez from the mighty Monolith crew. Nice.
Taking some time aside from touring her critically acclaimed sophomore album Escapology and her recent release efforts in the electronic outfit Ark Analog, once again the multi-talented Maylee Todd is showing her vibrant collaborative colours. This time a playful, funky pop single More Than Friends has Todd performing with The Precious Lo’s. The track’s simple boom-baps coupled with a bouncy synth lay down the groundwork for a melodic duet between Todd and TPL’s Gil Masuda.
The Precious Lo’s EP set for release in Fall 2013.
