Brooklyn singer-songwriter Hannah Taxman is making some of the sweetest, most carefully refined pop and R&B in New York right now, under her IVYES alias. With the help of Tei Shi collaborator Luca Buccellati (a favourite of ours on this blog), Taxman has already impressed with the smoky 'Wilinout', now she's at it again on new track 'Let The Water Run', taken from her first ever EP, due out soon. Written at a point in her life where Taxman wanted to, "step forward rather than back," 'Let The Water Run' has all the hallmarks of a future-soul gem with swelling electronics, icy beats and fizzing bass pops confirming that the only way is up for IYVES. - DC
