I&#8217;ve been collaborating with my dear friend <strong>Brit Manor<\/strong> (aka Brit Laur\u00e9n) for many years now- she&#8217;s been on several <strong>Captain Planet<\/strong> tunes you may remember, and even before that we shared the stage together as youngbloods in NYC. <strong>&#8220;Diamond In The Rough&#8221;<\/strong> is the first single from her upcoming mini-album (produced by <em>yours truly<\/em>) which will come out on <strong>Bastard Jazz Records<\/strong> later this year. The beautiful cosmic video comes courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/shemovespictures.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Araeia Robinson<\/a> (who did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hvXlLuFEl48\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;In The Gray&#8221;<\/a> as well). Reggae vibes meet moody electronic soul in this song about transformation and self-realization. As Brit says, \u201cYoung women are more than just pretty things; we are electric, mystical, fallen stars, and buried treasures &#8211; we are diamonds in the rough.\u201d If you are feeling it please help spread the word and <a href=\"http:\/\/britmanor.bandcamp.com\/album\/diamond-in-the-rough\" target=\"_blank\">support<\/a>.
