Talented newcomer De-Lor's first claim to fame is his remix of Nicki Minaj's "Superbass" that garnered him thousands of views on YouTube. But there's more to this striking new talent than revamping other people's songs. Check out a video and MP3 of his brand-new, original R&B pop tune, "That We Lovd" to get a taste for his eclectic pop freshness.

De-Lor (aka Sebastian Michael) is currently attending Boston's famed Berklee College of Music and has been toying around with a lot of different sounds and textures to craft a distinct sound of his own. He writes me, "Watching Pharrell Williams working in the studio with Justin Timberlake and just spazzing in the studio with different artists really got me inspired to start producing and singing."

He likes to refer to his music as "futuristic electro pop," which is a pretty decent description of his music, but I think there's way more to it than just that. It's De-Lor's voice and delivery that truly makes his music stand out from the pack. He doesn't serve up your cookie-cutter when boy-meets-synth kind of DYI pop. De-Lor firmly injects his music with a soulful, confident and emotive quality that captured me right from the first note he sang. 

Leveraging his learnings at the Berklee College of Music, De-Lor is ambitious in pursuing his dream of bringing great music to others and beyond. "I am just trying to be the most successful I can be on my craft and my entrepreneurship," he tells, while adding, "Trying to do something that others haven't done before, finding new ways to promote myself, share my music and art." 

Check out the video and MP3 for "That We Lovd" after the break. You will be happy you did. Highly recommended.
