James Fauntleroy Keeps The Heat Coming With "Floating Away" feat. India Shawn
James Fauntleroy Keeps The Heat Coming With "Floating Away" feat. India Shawn

India Shawn Taps James Fauntleroy For "Floating Away"

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

The funky alien James Fauntleroy keeps the sophisticated r&b styles rolling with his latest team-up on LA songstress India Shawn's "Floating Away." The driving break-heavy rocker boasts a thumping low-end, buried synth lines and gospel key-work, not to mention some lush string arrangements taking it into the realm of the ethereal. This offering from the resurgent Miss Shawn is somewhere between Elle Varner's hip-hop-centric take on the r&b tradition and the classy boogie-funk of the SOS Band, making this Da Internz produced heat one for new and true schoolers alike. Watch out for India Shawn's upcoming Outer Limits project and rock with her latest Fauntleroy assisted jawn "Floating Away" below.
