Combine the punchy drums of future bass with the vocal splices and velvety textures of trip-hop and you may concoct something close to the music of groundbreaking producer Slow Magic. His latest tune “Girls”, an abstract anthem that capitalizes upon manipulation of vocal sonics, may just rank as the artist’s greatest work yet.
Beginning with a muted hint at the leading hook, a splendid amalgamation of spliced vocals and light drums, “Girls” escalates into a soaring epitome of trip-hop’s full potential. The track carries a dreamy atmosphere, boosted by producer’s tendency to purposely fade the vocals in and out while the whimsically-tuned synths drip the song with a jubilant finish. Slow Magic magically isolates vocals and morphs them into otherworldly singing, a fitting icing on the transcendental cake.
Slow Magic hones a distinct voice with “Girls”, one we cannot wait to hear more. Listen to “Girls” below:
