"The Kids Are Alright!" -Kario Key Meet, Greet & Beats

Okay folks, just last week I gave you a brief intro to this sensational new found duo/group Kario Key, that my good friend producer Rich Younglord "discovered" via the good ol' internet. Well the latest update is that all last week he and I invited the talented pair to come out to New York (he coming from Cleveland, and she from Boston) to "vibe" out with one another creatively, and get on the same page, in terms of entertaining the prospect of working on a joint future project together. After a brief "Welcome to New York reception lunch" (lol) at the swankiest Ruby Tuesday's I've EVER seen, we headed out first to a magazine cafe to collect visual/image inspiration (and hot cocoa), then off to the studio back in BK where once the music started playing the energy level peaked, and a FULL song came out of it in like...what (?)...TEN minutes flat! NO lie! I'm not making this stuff up folks! Anyhow, here's a few candid snap shots I had taken during their short visit in which we even set up a promotion photo shoot with the ever so artistically talented photographer Kwesi Abbensetts on the last day in town. But enjoy my pictures in the meanwhile.

"Singing In The Right Key!" -On Another Note Featuring Kario Key

Man I ❤ how this universe works! Peep how while surfing the internet for inspiration my boy music producer Rich Younglord comes across this Indie/Electro Pop duo on Youtube that strikes a cord in him musically, and he decides "I GOTTA f**k with these cats!" and reaches out to directly to contact them to work with him! They holla back at him in like a day's time and the three hit it off after a few brief convos. Rewind really quick back for a sec. YL hips me to them like "Yo kid, what you think about this group? I'm in love w/ shorty's voice!" and sends me a link to hear some of their stuff. I hear "Runaway" and is instantly BLOWN AWAY! KABOOM! Now I'M all hyped like "YO! I'm FEELIN' this! Yeah man NO question! Rock with these guys!" His reply? "I've ALREADY contacted them!" And exactly WHO are they you're asking? They are Electo Pop duo Kario Key, formed by Berklee College students Lorely Rodriguez ("the Voice" pictured below) & Aaron Kleinstub ("the Sound" not pictured) broadcast their new/ sound collabo live from Boston to the world via Soundcloud and Myspace (remember that?) directly to their grassroots grown fan base. To describe their sound would be to say that it's current yet futuristic at the same time. While her voice and lyrics are timeless! I always anxious to hear what NEXT to come from them...then the NEXT one after that! Can't wait to meet these guys face to face. Well enough flapping my yap, there's some tunes I posted below that I thought best captured their next level sound. Enjoy and spread it! Oh damn almost forgot! Here's there Facebook page here & they're Myspace too here. And of course their Twitter account @Kariokeymusic
