It’s a historically recognized experience that when you come down sound doctrine way I’m gonna put you on. So let me tell you this straight up – the haloumi, olives, mint, yoghurt and tomato wrap I’ve been having all this week? It’s the one. They’ve baked oregano into the wrap and many are calling it a ‘flavor sensation’. Shoutout Hatch cafe in Chippendale, you’re my boy. While you’re eating though, I’ve got another little sonic something with shared qualities to the aforementioned wrap.
Lamira came into my life recently courtesy of young king Ruu who was spitting about it on his insta and few songs have had me as immediately as this one. Even the whispered intro in the first ten seconds suggested what the rest of the track would go on to confirm: Lamira has that juice. Her rhythm and flow is infectious but her DELIVERY is immaculate. She could have comfortably delivered this song with clean and clear vocals, had everything spit shined for melody and comfort but she wrings every drop of colour out of her voice like a t-shirt getting tye-died. There’s husk at the lower end, there’s slurred articulation that makes her words flow through each other and moments where the whole thing is pitch shifted into another place. Not lying, the first time I heard this my head was on mars.
Big fan of that final beat shift that brings the heartrate down but keeps the temp up. Good gear from my new favourite Venezstralian bringing el sabor to Naarm.
