Smoke Season – When The Smoke Clears
[su_dropcap style=”simple”]A[/su_dropcap]nother stunning track from Smoke Season: “When the Smoke Clears”! It is taken from their new EP “Ourboros” and it packs a punch. “When the Smoke Clears” continues Smoke Season’s dramatic sound and is another stellar track as they continue to grow as a duo. The track starts with a stuttering electronic beat which starts your intrigue, they then take you on a powerful journey as the song builds, rises and falls. Passionate, flowing vocals are layered on top of a funky bass line before being stripped back in the chorus. The gentle change of tempo throughout also keeps you glued.

Tidus shares the spiritual track “Blame Me”
[su_dropcap style=”simple”]L[/su_dropcap]isten to “Blame Me”, one of the seven tracks on Tidus’s new EP “Soon Youll Understand.” The song is full of power and spirit and comes with a simple beat which elegantly supplements his emotive vocals. Vocals which, by the way, sometimes remind Young Thug‘s singular flow, and seem to rise in exasperation at the end of every line. It adds this gripping sense of desperation and sense of pure emotion. This is something which he does not reveal in his other tracks and it definitely adds something else, an edgy element that helps “Blame Me” stand out.
