“Air Balloons” by Britney Stoney (produced by Eddie Logix)
This electro-pop track from Detroit’s Britney Stoney breaths deep, smiles wide, and dances with light and levity. It’s a daylight party thing. Producer Eddie Logix puts down a snare-heavy beat that nods to ‘90s freestyle with a wink at the Ghost Town DJ’s “My Boo.” Britney Stoney’s releases her latest EP “Native” on Sunday, June 7th at the Majestic Cafe, with Elenora and Ancient Language.
