UNA is a Los Angeles-based trio composed of Jennifer Nice (voice), Richard Larsen (keys), and Eddie Barajas (turntables). An eclectic mix of sounds, bits of jazz, funk, soul, electronic, downtempo, and turntables paired with hypnotically sensual vocals makes it an instant favorite. Combined, these three incorporate a wide array of lush instrumentals, lounge music, fusion pop and movie-like sound treatments that take one on a exciting musical roller-coaster ride. The Laughing Man Remix, UNA’s second LP, is the return of this gritty crowd-pleaser with funky beats and awesome vocals, restated by some of the finest remixers on the planet. Treatments from the likes of Charles Webster, John Tejada, Omid 16B, and Heath & Skaggs are found in this album sampler, with additional remixes from Nightmares on Wax, DJ Cam, The Herbaliser, and more found within the full release’s fourteen tracks. UNA is a storytelling outfit that leaves behind the usual forlorn love-sick soliloquy for something more, something grand … and magnificent. Immerse yourself in UNA.
