Vanilla is a producer out of the U.K. who makes sun silky soul beats that make you feel good, perfect tones to vibe through your day. Throughout the entire album you can find beautiful piano riffs and catchy samples laced to dope beats. It’s an all-around cruise machine that will float you through the summer, and it’s free to download!… ‘For What It’s Worth’ is a collection of 20 outtakes and loose instrumentals made over the past year that I felt could use a home. There’s a slightly jazzier vibe here than my other stuff but overall there’s no real unifying theme. I am working hard on the proper follow up to Soft Focus as well as some other major projects so hopefully 2013 should be an eventful year…Thanks for all the support!’
