Why do we like this?

London raised Abra is one of the most exciting new artists working in R&B at the moment. Like many new artists working in the genre, she combines a real melting pot of genres and sounds, as demonstrated with her new track "Sick Girl."

Abra fuses her breathy vocals with a plinkety-plonkety beat that manages to cherry-pick from a series of sounds - variously drawing comparisons to Arthur Russell and Craig David (!) - without sounding over indebted to any one. Fact were certainly impressed, describing it variously as "literal magic" and "genre defining."

There's no release info, but given Awful Record's previous it's likely to drop soon. Keep your eyes on Abra's Facebook and Soundcloud pages.
