Fronted by bandleader and son of East Los Angeles Joey Quiñones, Thee Sinseers have quietly chipped away at the sounds of R&B and soul since forming in 2019, bringing together their interpretation of music through an unmistakable modern lens. On their new Colemine Records release, 'Love Stories', one thing becomes abundantly clear: this is not an LP that explores a neat and tidy love story. It's interested in everything that comes before it, after it, and in spite of it. The band leaned into earthier instrumentation — standup bass, guitars run through amplifiers for a warmer sixties-adjacent tone. It's that cross-genre thinking that Quiñones sees as the record's defining quality. The band sought to capture the highs and lows of romantic relationships while expanding the frame to include the familial, the complicated, and the unresolved.  Like an unsent love letter finally delivered, 'Love Stories' carries the weight of everything that was felt but never quite said.

“Dreaming” is the first single from Colemine Records’ latest signing, Taylor Williams. Colemine fans will recognize his Neo-soul vocals from Patchwork Inc.’s jazz-funk 45, “Whatever Makes You Happy.” Williams builds on the momentum of this guest spot with his debut single, showcasing a Blood Orange-inspired falsetto.

A former member of North Carolina collective Black Haus, Williams carries the band’s adventurous spirit with him while reaching back into a soul catalog that speaks to his current path. “I wanted to put something out into the world that has that 70s feel...beautiful harmonies like Minnie Riperton, Isaac Hayes, and Marvin [Gaye],” says Williams.

Equal parts ethereal and earthy, “Dreaming” is the sound of an artist in ascension. Williams’ voice, like his talent, reaches escape velocity with this breezy low-rider jam.
