Lili K & The O'My's: "Baby It's Cold Outside"
Today listeners got a treat from two of the most soulful up and coming acts in the Chicago market. With a heavy helping of Christmas spirit, Lili K & The O'My's linked up to produce their own version of the timeless wintertime classic. The song, premiered today on Okayplayer, is a perfect crossroads for the 22-year-old songstress, Lili K, who released a Christmas-themed single last year with frequent collaborator Peter CottonTale and earlier this year dropped a project of her own eclectic takes on classic Jazz standards in My Favorite Things. The O'My's, who closed out their year with the release of their album, A Humble Masterpiece, are who you thought they were, setting the backdrop for a beautiful interplay between frontman Maceo Haymes and Lili K's voices. Check out the song below.

[Album Stream] Janelle Monáe: ‘The Electric Lady’ LP
Janelle Monáe’s promising sophomore album, The Electric Lady, is now streaming one week before its September 10th release date via VH1. The R&B Queen in training enlists a little help from Prince (who doesn’t just feature on anybody’s album), the Queen herself – Erykah Badu, Solange Knowles, Miguel (see “Primetime”), and Grammy award winner Esperanza Spalding. At first listen, The Electric Lady offers all the necessary elements for an R&B classic – it’s funky, it’s vibrant, it’s daring, and definitely electric. Hear it for yourself below and pre-order The Electric Lady on iTunes here or cop the two-disc deluxe edition at Target next week.
