Emerging US Rapper THISMINORITY Shares Phenomenal New Single “SUNNY BEACHES”
THISMINORITY is a rapper from New Orleans, LA, and currently based in Brooklyn, New York. The rap newcomer has just unveiled “SUNNY BEACHES” (feat. Indigo), which is only his second single following debut track “MEDI”, which was released earlier this year. After such an impressive debut, he has remained on form with “SUNNY BEACHES” and looks set to continue his rise.
The track stands out immediately with its ukulele-led tropical-sounding hip-hop production. It’s boosted further with an incredibly infectious hook that will no doubt be ingrained into everyone’s head after one listen. THISMINORITY’s captivating rap flow and impressive lyricism tie everything together perfectly, and the end result is a track with enormous replay value that marks out the rising artist as one to watch.
Speaking further on the new release, THISMINORITY says, “‘SUNNY BEACHES’ is about acknowledging yourself and your progress even if you feel behind. Acknowledge that you are moving, and treat yourself on whichever scale but show love to yourself. You’re never as late as you think, and with passion exercised you’ll always be on time!” “SUNNY BEACHES” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/thisminority/sunny-beaches-feat-indig0.
Keep up to date with the latest from THISMINORITY:
Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.
At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.
Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.
Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.
Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
