Cordoba – “Shut It Down” (Video)

Cordoba is a group out of Chicago with an aim to inspire through charm. Their jazz and R&B inflected music, particularly on their latest EP, Break the Locks Off Everything, has the horns of a more traditional group but also the shifting melodies of something more modern and the clever vocals of Brianna Tong that give this group a different air. Upon first impression, one could describe them as a slightly more formal Hiatus Kaiyote, and who couldn’t use something like that. To get an idea of what we’re talking about, the group just released a video for the closing track off their EP, “Shut It Down”, which would definitely give you an idea of the artistry abound on the Chicago streets. Check out the premiere of the video below and be sure to check out Break the Locks Off Everything out now.
