Shanaz Dorsett: Soulful Blips And Jazzy Glitches

The AOL dial-up tone meets R&B chord progressions in London-native Shanaz Dorsett’s newest single, “Four Walls & A Garden.” She was featured on Okayplayer, Hip-Hop Wired, and Jay Z’s Life + Times, an online cultural experience blog, curated by Mr. Carter himself, and it’s no surprise, as her vocals are a seamless mix of Lauryn Hill and Lily Allen, while her instrumentals are jazz-infused indie electronica. Shanaz has been in the area for the past few months, and will be hitting Pianos in New York City on Oct. 14.
