Ladies & gents, we're proud to bring you the premiere of Algebra Blessett's scrumptious new rocker "Paper Heart" off her 5-years-in-the-making Recovery LP, the follow up to last year's Nobody But You mixtape and her critically acclaimed solo debut Purpose. The Atlanta-based songstress jumps on a groove suited for the pallets of the Late Registration generation with Algebra's soaring vocals layered over a crackling soul sample, a running bass and a swaggering chop on the drums. Algebra's best known for her dynamic collaborations with some of R&B's finest, including India Arie and Esperanza Spalding, not to mention snagging some opening looks for Bilal and Monica. Her sophomore record Recovery is out January 28th, chock full of delicate gems that are sure to bop heads. You can pre-order Recovery via iTunes, but whet that pallet with a taste of Algebra Blessett's "Paper Heart" below.
