In 2014, Bosco — a recent NYC transplant from Atlanta who recently made our Best of NYC Emerging Artists list — released a series of well-received singles that married breathy, soulful vocals to edgy electronic experimentation. Normally outside soul music’s vocabulary (at least since the late ’80s), these results range from futuristic party tunes (“Names”) to hypnotic, abstract R&B ballads like “Slippin’,” or brand new single "Boy," streaming below, with which she announced the signing to record label Fool’s Gold.
