Cobaine Ivory – Art II [Audio x Download]

What if a painting was heard, not just seen? What if a composer described music as a painter describes their art? Classical composer for Armani, Victoria’s Secret & music production half of CharlieRED, Cobaine Ivory looks to synesthetically link some of his favourite paintings to sound with his project, “art II”. In this project, each instrumental is named and inspired by a work of art. “The cover art for “art II” is a photo I took while traveling in Kiev, Ukraine of a striking wall mural. I took in the beautiful colours before snapping the photo curious of the artist Zbiok’s motives.” – Cobaine Ivory

CharlieRED – GreenGREED [Audio x Download]

The title track off Charlie Red‘s first collaborative project, the Religion EP, found the Big Apple hip-hop/blues duo offering a cynical perspective on contemporary faith, intimating that modern-day Christianity may have more to do with mammon than God. On GreenGREED, the lead single off their sophomore digital release, singer Rocki Evans and beatsmith Cobaine Ivory take aim at the Almighty Dollar itself. As he delivers mordant commentary on the rat race, Evans showcases his formidable range as a vocalist, switching between smooth crooning and ragged howls at the drop of a dime. Cobaine’s ramshackle percussion and droning guitar riffs add to the joint’s dark, grimy ambiance. MUSE is scheduled for digital release on Tuesday, August 20. In the meantime, of course, fans can stay tuned to the Booth for the latest song releases.
