Having relocated from Seattle to L.A. to work on his musical career, singer-songwriter-producer Jaymes Young trades in anthems of love and loss, all rendered with an achingly beautiful electro sheen. Young, 23, found near-instant Internet fame a few months ago after releasing his first track, “Dark Star,” quickly followed by mixtape that created even more buzz. And today, Young officially releases the “Dark Star” EP.  Young’s music speaks for itself, coupling moody R&B rhythms with a dab of dub thrown in for good measure – his youthful angst and deep longing is vocalized in much the same manner as artists such as James Blake, Active Child, the Weeknd, the Neighbourhood and Sir Sly. Make room on your own mixtapes for this one.
