ALLMAN BROWN RIVERS FT. ROBYN SHERWELL

Having spent the whole of this Bank Holiday weekend with family, we're back in London today, and it feels greyer and rainier than it has all year. To be honest, we don't even mind, because Allman Brown and Robyn Sherwell have created the perfect track to compliment the bitterness of the sky and the frowning pavements in 'Rivers'. We've kept an eye on Robyn Sherwell's progress over the past year, and there's no doubt big things are to come. This collaboration with Londoner Allman Brown only furthers our conviction. A tenderly assertive ballad, written by the pair about the power and intimacy of nature, 'Rivers' showcases seamless harmonies between the soulful, slightly gruff Brown and the honeysweet, graceful-as-ever Sherwell, all tapered around some beautifully arranged guitars and stripped-down percussion. A divine sliver of cinematic acoustic pop, made to soundtrack stormy weather. - DC
