Saturday: Kissey Asplund at BloomBars

Kissey Asplund - Phone Call

Kissey Asplund - Faster

I did not see this coming. Kissey Asplund is an up and coming Swedish soul electro artist (and blogger for my homeboy Tarik’s site) is coming to DC. THIS WEEKEND. Also, this is going to take place at this new arts/music spot in Columbia Heights called BloomBars, which has already gotten rave reviews and gets my seal of approval for being less than a 10 minute bike ride from my place (I kid!).

Check out our last post on Kissey. And yes, I’ll definitely be in the building.

Sweden Stays Winning: Kissey Asplund

Kissey Asplund - Phone Call

Kissey Asplund - Faster

Most of y’all know of my sudden infatuation with all things Sweden for the past few months. But I can’t knock a country that consistently puts out good ish. I might have to cop some Ikea this weekend just to support their economy.

I thought I wrote about Kissey Asplund a long time ago, but a quick search of the site proved otherwise. My bad people…I’ve written over 1000 posts in the 4 years this site has been up, so sometimes things fall through the cracks. I do have to say that Kissey Asplund is what is needed in R&B right now. She’s been grinding in her native Sweden for a while now, and is getting her much respect in the United States as well as being a featured writer for Tarik’s Rhythm Lab blog. Kissey is a hard artist to pin down–her sound ranges from futuristic afro-soul to traditional R&B. But fans of Kelis and Janel Monae should definitely take a look at the homegirl from Malmo.
