This comes as great news from Berlin-based Emika, as we haven’t heard from her since “Drop The Other,” which was a lovely track. Her brand of electro-staccato with dark-overtones is the natural extension of trip hop. We love this and hope to hear mor. 8/10.
We have to say that even though we didn’t like her late album Colour Me Free, we are awaiting her new independent return. She had a lot of trouble with her record label and now she is free and started the aptly titled Stone’d Records. Her new album is called LP1 and it’s set to drop this year. Click below for the track “Back In Style.”
This compilation was going to be sandwiched between two big pop discs, so we opted for a more demure, yet emotive one. Laylo is my modern ode to the dead genre of trip-hop, we were feeling nostalgic for these times and decided to collect the byproduct of this musical phenomenon without forgetting some oldies but goldies. This is one of the ones that’s more of a journey of musical discovery. A bunch of artists here have discographies that are well-worth a dig. We personally love this one and hope that you do to.
