It’s been a while since we last heard from ZES, so we’re stoked to have a new treat from him. The Dutch producer brings an electronic/future bass sound that pours out longing and conflict, both internal and external.
Between the driving drums and bassline and the shifting vocal chops, the production creates a strong parallel with the vocals and lyrics. Forward-moving and progressively steady while varied and unsure on the surface, “Set Mind” is totally raw and honest in its delivery.
Back on top with taste-makers CloudKid this week, TRAILS is continuing his streak of gems. This time it’s with the release of his first original single “Hold Up.” In his latest musical venture, TRAILS teams up with Rromarin for vocal duties. With her pronounced pop sensibility, Rromarin occupies a sonic space somewhere between folk and electronic that is all her own.
Pairing a stripped-down production style with a bouncing bassline and seductive vocals, TRAILS has created a forward-thinking hybrid of sound on “Hold Up.” Both artists are bringing their best game to take over the airwaves with another catchy hit.
Sounding special right now over on CloudKid is the first single release on the label from singer, songwriter and musician JT Roach. Originally from Madison, this talented artist has carved out “Lazy Kisses,” and it is ready to soak up and stream below.
With some huge commercial names having previously been written for by JT Roach, he now focuses his attention to his own material, and there is an album allegedly on the way. “Lazy Kisses” is everything we want to hear in our summer chill playlists: smooth, dreamy vocals, flickers of acoustic guitar and beautifully-rounded musicality.
