Brooklyn’s “Warranted Queen” Arum Rae is a delightfully edgy cyber-soul singer who has so far managed to dodge generic stereotypes. Her latest release is masterfully threaded with bits of dance, pop, soul, R&B, and even a little hip-hop and industrial. The NYC based, Austin native’s sultry voice powers through eclectic synths, sound effects, and backup vocals of her own creation. If you dig the title track here, or the industrial blues of "I’m Smoke" (streaming below – at times reminiscent of early Suicide!!!) be sure to check her out at The Music Hall of Williamsburg on October 12th, followed soon thereafter by a November EP release. – Jillian Dooley
