::LISTEN & LOAD:: CRIS CAB | ECHO BOOM


As many of you know, here at Gypsy Soul, we love to turn our readers on to refreshing, new artists. So allow us to RE-introduce you to Cris Cab- the 18-year old Miami native that has taken the music world by storm with the release of his new mixtape and second project Echo Boom [DOWNLOAD FREE HERE] Early last year, Gypsy Soul had a the pleasure of introducing him to Baltimore and did a couple of media interactions with him.

Far ahead of his time, sonically, Cab redefines the boundaries of pop music, with his Caribbean flare and profound songwriting. It doesn't hurt that he has received hefty co-signs from industry greats like Pharrell Williams and Wyclef Jean. In fact, Cab's music is the perfect blend of Wyclef's vibrant storytelling, and John Mayer's earthy soulfulness, which is sure to cross demographics and musical genres alike.

The lead single off the mixtape, presented by Pharrell's Billionaire Boys Club, is "In My Dreams;" a lofty acoustic track about the bittersweet comfortability found in dreams, versus the real world. It's beautiful, inspirational and relatable-which appears to be a common thread in all of Cab's work. The mixtape's title track (and rumored next single), "Echo Boom," is equal parts funk, soul and pop, with Pharrell's signature stoic lyricism, stamping his co-sign- "He got my DNA though its my first time seeing him. 'Welcome to I am other,' that's how I greeted him. The new breed, like colorful new weed. We planted them seeds, now we got them new leaves."

Take a listen and enjoy the ride. We don't know where it's leading, but if Cris Cab continues on this path, he's sure to land amongst the stars.
