ASHA WE CAN DO THIS

Ex-street dance teacher ASHA shows off a lithe vocal on her debut, 'We Can Do This', bending and shaping the scorned lyrics - "Can't nobody touch you like me" - around bursts of trappy beats and shuddering synthesizers. It's a melodically stripped bare first track of sorts, but when you can twist your vocals like a gymnast in their prime, why let anything else take centre stage? Look out for a full EP of similarly slinky UK R&B coming later this year. - DC
