I’ve been getting pretty caught up in the electro scene recently (with Holy Ship coming up and all), but it’s always good to take a step back and change it up with some raw, natural-born vocal talent.

This is all you need to be convinced to buy Allen Stone’s album. Five minutes and thirty-two seconds of your time. I knew borderline nothing about this soul singer from outside Seattle before watching this video, and all I want to do now is spread the word. I mean are you shitting me when he starts goin GORILLAS during the bridge at the 4:02 mark?? In his mother’s living room?? Christ almighty — the soul just pours out of this dude. One of the more talented displays I’ve seen this year.

I just picked up their most recent, self-titled album before my flight to D.C. tomorrow, and it’ll be getting some serious spin cycles. I recommend you do the same.
