American producer el.’s new song ‘Lonely’ is a smooth break beat that sounds like an end of summers eve chilling with your friends, watching the sun go down. Hailing from Seattle, el.’s sound is reminiscent of sample heavy hip-hop and soul from the likes of J Dilla and 9^th Wonder. ‘Lonely’ will have you rocking your neck back and forth nodding to the beat with its snapping drums and contrast of keys which move like glitter in the light on this track. It is only a matter of time before we hear big things from el. with his trajectory going up and up with each new release. – Christian St. Croix
