Why do we like this?

I just missed my flight to Brussels, and have a 5 hour wait for my next one. My two choices were - I could go home and chill out for 2 hours before coming back, or I utilise the airport internet and have a good old SoundCloud session.

I opted for the latter, and stumbled across this absolutely stunning track by Kidepo. That grossly overpriced coffee and muffin was well worth it!

Turns put all the woke music blogs found "Reds" way back in 2014, but in my defense I wasn't even writing at this time..

Anyway, "Reds" is a glorious piece of bedroom RnB, toting layers of ingenious, yet simple melodic lines, Kidepo's tantalising vocal, and ambient production interspersed with various extraterrestrial, as well as African sounding elements.

Very much looking forward to more output from the talented artist - and I hope we don't have to wait another two years for it!

By Connor Mackenzie on Feb 2, 2018 | Collard first came to my attention with his single "Sofa," a silky smooth love song with a kinda disheartening tone that I couldn’t get enough of. Now he’s back with a new single, "Everglade," and it's alt-RnB absolutely dripping in vibe. It features... read more →
