THIRDSTORY
Thirdstory, formed in 2014, is a trio of amazing R&B, Soul and Pop singers based in New York City. Ben Lusher, Richard Saunders and Elliot Skinner met at a NYC event and the rest is history.
In the spring of 2016 Thirdstory opened for Tori Kelly on her Unbreakable tour and also released their debut E.P., Searching. Earlier this year Thirdstory dropped their first album, Cold Heart, on Verve Records.
One thing is obvious. These young men can sing. Their soulful voices and beautiful harmonies thrust them to the forefront of today’s emerging R&B revolution.
Cold Heart is a true masterpiece. Each song captures the intimate romanticism of Thirdstory. The record opens with the upbeat ballad “Searching For A Feeling“. You can immediately feel the trio’s passionate vocalizations. Next up is “Hit The Ceiling” and the toe tapping continues. Their smooth tone dives deep into the listeners essence. The folkish “On And On” shows a different side of Thirdstory with a simple acoustic guitar accompaniment.
“G-Train“, their first single is a powerful Pop/R&B hit that showcases Thirdstory’s stylish voices. The Pusha T rap just takes the track over the edge. “Over” is another wonderful ballad that highlights the band’s yearning quintessence. “Still In Love” is a smooth tune that flaunts how perfectly their voices blend. “Grows Old” is an eerie and ethereal ditty that brings Thirdstory back to their minimal folky countenance.
“Goodbye My Friend“, “I’m Coming Round” and “Only Love” rounds out the album. As a bonus Thirdstory treats everyone to a delightful piano only acoustic version of “Still In Love” featuring the exquisite Eryn Allen Kane.
Cold Heart is a stunning debut by a group that will make large waves in the near future. If you enjoy the meanderings of Sam Smith, Drake and Blackstreet then Thirdstory fits well on your playlist.
