Connor Youngblood's "Stockholm" Is A Sweet, Graceful Escape

Texan soul music futurist, Conner Youngblood just might be on to something. The multi-instrumentalist and burgeoning songwriter has a distinct talent for grand and gorgeous r&b-leaning compositions and announced yesterday that he'll be releasing his sophomore effort The Generation of Lift, but before we get head of ourselves, let's dip into the breezy, full-bloom dopeness of his lead-off single "Stockholm." Youngblood provides a sweeping sound scape of trilling harps and ample low-end boom to support a feathery vox, mounting in increments until it consumes your dome, ear-to-ear, offering what is perhaps the sweetest, most graceful escape this side of Frank Ocean's syrupy contemporary soul stuff. So if you're looking for your oceanic r&b fix, this potent new presence in the far-reaching corners of the left-field should provide you with all of the feels on this muggy Tuesday morning. Hear Conner Youngblood's new single "Stockholm" below and head over to his Soundcloud page to get properly acquainted. His The Generation Of Lift EP is due this October, so keep your eyes and ears on us for the imminent supporting sounds and sights that are to follow.
