Hometown: Birmingham, Alabama

Genre: R&B

Why We're Excited: Recording under the name Love Moor, Erica Andrew makes assured and ingratiating R&B that doesn't hit a nerve so much as slide under the skin when no one's looking. Producer Suaze gives Andrew's intimate vocals a smoothed-out, ethereal quality, as their shared songs often breeze in and out in two minutes or less — just enough time for them to set a mood, plant a thought and disappear.

    Stephen Thompson is a writer, editor and reviewer for NPR Music, where he speaks into any microphone that will have him and appears as a frequent panelist on All Songs Considered. Since 2010, Thompson has been a fixture on the NPR roundtable podcast Pop Culture Happy Hour, which he created and developed with NPR correspondent Linda Holmes. In 2008, he and Bob Boilen created the NPR Music video series Tiny Desk Concerts, in which musicians perform at Boilen's desk. (To be more specific, Thompson had the idea, which took seconds, while Boilen created the series, which took years. Thompson will insist upon equal billing until the day he dies.)
