SENSU - ISSUES FT. RYCK JANE
MusicCommentAs Sensu anticipates the release of her forthcoming debut album titled Embrace, she tantalizes our earholes once more with “Issues” featuring Ryck Jane. As a classically trained pianist, she incorporates her musical knowledge into every aspect of her music, creating something new and innovative in the hip-hop-fused electronic world. On this specific single, she explains she was inspired by “Asian music and instruments,” which you can definitely hear within the various production elements. She wanted to make a female MC to make the track “complete,” and Ryck Jane worked her magic.
Sensu’s debut album will be released later this summer, with a sprinkle of single releases in between.
MADNAP & YETEP - IT'S JUST YOU (FT. MIRANDA GLORY)
Music, Original MixCommentHaving experienced considerable success as solo artists in their respective careers, Madnap and yetep are proud to unveil their brand new collaboration "It's Just You" feat. Miranda Glory. The beautiful melodic single is out now via noted tastemaker imprint Thrive Music. Stylistically, Madnap and yetep are a match made in heaven. The two producers have a penchant for producing emotive, technically sound tunes and their latest is no different. Miranda Glory's sweeping vocals add a significantly sensitive tough to an otherwise energetic bed of instrumental layering for a final product that yetep feels "showcases how versatile we can be".
ALIGN - EMBRACE
MusicCommentALIGN is back with one more single before the release of his debut EP, Intertwine. “Embrace” is the third and final release from ALIGN in anticipation of the EP. The single embodies every summer vibe imaginable as it kicks off with the sounds of an old school movie projector, transporting the listener back to a completely different time period. “Embrace” is the first single on the EP, setting the tone for what is to come.
Intertwine will be out on June 12.
[PREMIERE] MYO - A PARTICLE
Music, Original MixCommentBringing an organic feel to electronic music, London ensemble Myo delivers a fresh feel with their latest single “A Particle.” While everything they touch turns to gold, this track is a moving triumph with hallowed out synths that echo across a field of honey dipped vocals. A dreamy cut brushed with shadowy hues, “A Particle” radiates a new age resonance that forges the path for a new era of dance music. Rounded out with chilling sound design, cut with jagged edges, Myo offers something distinguished in a sea of monotony. Rhythmic and visionary, “A Particle” is not one to miss.
