'Layers' - Kungs

Electronic music has hit a point in its lifespan where it's evolving into things that older DJs and producers only used to imagine. And now there's a generation of young and creatively eager EDM artists who are turning their bedrooms into their own studios. One of those artists is Kungs.

Hailing from France, the 19- (soon to be 20-) year-old artist started off as a kid with djembe and now is doing the music fest circuit. And now he's ready to release his repertoire to the masses with Layers. Including his hit, "This Girl, featuring Cookin' On 3 Burners," he blends pop and funk melodies with elements of tropical and deep house. He also brings on some interesting vocalists into the album like Jamie N Commons on his single, "Don't You Know," Luke Pritchard on "Melody" and Grace Kelly on "When You're Gone." Though many of the tracks have a similar flair, Kungs tosses in "Bangalore Streets," which feels like a curve ball, but one you'll be glad you caught.
