Not since Keith Sweat has an R&B singer been as appropriately named as Portland’s Blossom. The singer—who as a kid toured as a singer with her uncle’s steel-drum band—composes a gentle, airy form of R&B that takes its time developing.
For the latest episode of Pickathon’s Slab Sessions, Blossom is joined by Portland rapper (and Slab Session alum) Myke Bogan for a take on “Acouasm” at the edge of the woods. The pair trade pickup lines over a woozy, over-it beat that belies Bogan’s boasts and Blossom’s breathy lead. You can catch the premiere of the latest installment in the Oregon festival’s 2016–2017 season below.
“Acouasm” was produced by Half Stop Sessions. You can check out the rest of the Slab Sessions here, and learn more about Pickathon here.
