Stream Shamir Ratchet

The 20-year-old Las Vegas singer Shamir Bailey is one of the most exciting new voices we’ve heard in a long time: A liquid, ebullient tenor whose tracks bubble over with personality and charisma. Shamir blew up on the strength of the awesome half-rapped novelty “On The Regular,” but he’s just as adept with volcanic disco-house (“Call It Off“) and emotive synthpop (“Darker“). Now, just over a year after releasing his first track on my friend Nick Sylvester’s GodMode label, he’s set to release his excellent and hyped-up debut album Ratchet on the same label that puts out Adele albums. And this minute, you can, and should, stream all of Ratchet on iTunes Radio.

Ratchet is out 5/19 on XL Recordings.
