The latest single to be unveiled from the highly-anticipated edition of the vaunted Next Wave Records Mixtape Series, “U C ME” feat. LIA emerges as a bonafide display of production mastery from emerging producer Thomas White. Originally begun as a concept back in 2016, “U C ME” has been a work in progress for quite some time. “This is one of those tracks that has been floating around in my world for a while and has gone through a bunch of changes over time,” White shares, further revealing that “the concept originated when I started messing around with my own voice more.” With a large portion of sounds coming from simple Macbook microphone recordings, White puts his ingenuity and creative charisma on full display throughout his newest single, accentuating LIA’s emotional, haunting vocals with a series of glitchy sounds and eclectic sound design indicative of the immense talent he possesses. With the Next Wave compilation coming into shape, Thomas White’s “U C Me” is undoubtedly a worthy addition to the comprehensive project to come.
