Former "Voice" Contestant Briar Blakley Unleashes Debut "Retro Future" EP

Season 8 alum of The Voice, Briar Blakley has officially issued her debut effort with Retro Future Volume 1 EP. The project's title more so doubles as an effective description of Blakely's sound, as she delves within retro contemporary influences, mixing old with new, blending genres, and creating a wonderfully left-of-center project that leaves her among the voices infusing new and refreshing elements to the realm of R&B and Soul.

"Retro Future, Vol. 1 is a nostalgic EP with vibrations of psychedelic, disco, electric soul, and ‘70s and ‘80s era classics,” says Briar. “In creating this project, I was inspired by artists like Tame Impala, HAIM, Toro Y Moi and Kanye West because of how they lean into their niche. Because creating music is a sacred process for me, it was important for me to be boldly artistic and lean into my own sound instead of following trends.”

Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
