As you can imagine, I listen to a whole lot of music. I, like all writers, have a process for sifting through all the tunes I'm sent, and often it's as simple as checking out a short amount of the track to decide whether to review it or not. Sometimes, however, I'm truly surprised by a track's excellence and need to let it really sink in to process it.
This was the case with "Set To Go," the gorgeous debut track from the Melbourne artists Luboko and Hosaia. While it's not an especially new formula, it's pulled off with a strength and confidence well beyond most acts debuting their work together. The combination of the two couldn't work any better, with Luboku's silky smooth production perfectly suited to Hosaia's soulful vocals.
This is a really fantastic pop song, and with a collab EP scheduled for release mid-2015 (as well as solo work on the way), expect to hear a lot more from these fresh new talents.
