Witch house/Drag house/Electronic music/ Dark electro/Alternative r'n'b

See 5-looline veerandtunnine üllitis tuleb aastast 2010, mis oli witch house-nimelise stiili ōitsenguaeg. Väga mõnus nostalgiline naasmine moonutatud kurjaendeliste häälte ja teemantteravate biitide manu. Võib ju küsida, et mille poolest käesolev võiks eristuda stiili massist? Eks eristumine on vähemärgatav, ent naisvokaalis esineb kontrasti loov igati tervitatav soulilik pehmus, mis ennustab ette ka lähitulevikus juhtuma hakkavat eksperimentaalset souli/r'n'b-d. Loos "sorry" (mis tegelikkuses on pea peale pööratud nimekujuga) makstakse tribuuti Tricky tumedale hip-hop-albumile "Pre-Millenium Tension" (1996), mis kindlasti mõjutas nii artisti kui kõiki teisi nõiamaja-tegijaid. Kokkuvõtvalt tuleb nentida üllitise hüva kvaliteeti.

This 5-song, quarter-hour album comes from 2010, which was the heyday of the witch house style. A very nice nostalgic return to distorted sinister voices and diamond-sharp beats. One might ask, how could this one stand out from the mass of style? The distinction is less striking, but the female vocals have a very welcome soulish softness that creates a contrast, which foreshadows the experimental soul/r'n'b that will happen in the near future. The song "sorry" (the name is actually turned upside down) pays tribute to Tricky's dark hip-hop album "Pre-Millenium Tension" (1996), which certainly influenced the artist and all other witch house artists. In summary, the quality of the overall good must be recognized.
