Miami New Times has released its monthly list of ten songs from local artists, covering genres from R&B and hip-hop to noisy post-punk, reggae and folk-rock. The November picks include singles and EPs from musicians based in Miami, North Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale.
Alex Ponce, the first Ecuadorian artist named to Rolling Stone en Español’s Future of Music 25 list, released “Que Seas Tú,” a song the press materials describe as a conscious decision to let yourself be exposed. Andrew Durham’s new EP, “Taurus Rising,” moves between indie, power pop, metal and emo, while Cesar Santalo’s “Visit Me” is a soul track about longing and distance.
The list also features Jeff Stones’ EP “Dear NMB,” which explores his hometown of North Miami Beach, and Leah Simmons’ song about the energy around Evergreen Cemetery in Fort Lauderdale. Miami-based electronic musician Meyr offers “Singularity,” built around an oud melody.
Crazy Vinyl Record in Doral is releasing a limited-edition 7-inch from the reggae-dub band RasPunk, pairing “Mad Dog” with “Desconéctate” in a collaboration with BigUp Records Club.
The full list and audio clips are available on the Miami New Times website.
