@@@ Hollie Keniff: Field Edge (nm5D, 2019) I got to this track from a twat on the Twatter. I’m all up on these Youtube videos today as I don’t have access to Apple Music. I can open it but I can’t stream but I do see this is a pre release track. It’s ambient with swooshy vocal oohs and ahs, at least at the beginning. Well we’re halfway through and it looks like these synths and vocals are what’s on offer today. I like it all right but I don’t think it’s dicky to ask for more. Oooh, there’s a nice dark rumble developing, I dig that. A little contrast as the French say. It comes and goes like that and I like it all right. It may just be me but I tend to shy away from vocals in my ambient music, I dig the fully abstract sounds. But I’m an idiot and that’s me.
@@@ Summer Walker: Tonight (LVRN/Interscope, 2019) From the Fader 10 songs you need in your life from this week. Some of today’s hot synth sounds for a sensous female driven love song. Chill trappish beats it’s a lot of vocal tracks, background tracks and this is more of a confessional love jam than a standard verse/chorus thing. If this track was a foodstuff it’s a snacky, dim sum kind of thing, not a meal. I like the sounds, too many vocal tracks.
@@@ Spencer: Automatic ( , 2019) Also from the 10 songs you need in your life. I would call this an alt r&b/funk track with a classic funk bass, a retro beat/loop, an occasional synth blast and lolly vocals. Thick and smooth vocals it’s a tune about a gent’s automatic love for his female. I like the vocals and the beats the least and the bass player the most by far. I’m agnostic on the singer. Overall the tune is solid without being necessary to my life. Check for yourself.
