No one has more swoon-worthy finesse thanJesse Boykins III. With his breathy intonations, boyish hustle and collaborations with artists likeMelo-X and Theophilus London; he’s making noise in a soul music scene aching for something classic and new. In an age where vocals course through vocoders and double-clicks rule the DJ booth, Boykin’s New School-bred production and arrangement skills are both novel and necessary. His second album The Beauty Created is awash in richly textured instrumentation and driven by Jesse’s lyrical adoration of a woman’s quirks. Giant Step spoke with the Miami native about ’90s boy bands, working out with Bilal and, of course, the fairer sex.Tabloids (Machine Drum Mix) (right-click, save as)
