Mackenzie Thoms — Conviction

Today we're bringing you a new one from LA–based Mackenzie Thoms, his debut single actually, and you're going to love it whether you know it yet or not. There's been a handful of tunes with this vibe coming our way as of late, that sleekly strung together, R&B tinged style, but you'll find no complaints here because we really can't get enough. Conviction sells itself as understated at the start, but quickly blooms to life through a collection of percussive kicks and bubbling beats in line with Thoms' sharp vocal work. With a debut effort as finely crafted as this, we can't wait for what comes next.

The track is out August 21st via South By Sea, a label whose been responsible for some amazing new artists on the scene recently, so keep your ears perked.
