AVA JAMES WON'T LOOK BACK (PROD. BY TROPICS)

London's Ava James possesses a subtly powerful vocal, the sort that sweeps you off your feet immediately in the same timeless way that Amy Winehouse perfected over the years. That smoky essence is only ramped up by UK multi-instrumentalist Tropics who provides the smooth and silky production on her debut track, 'Won't Look Back'. Tropics keeps it relatively minimalist with undulating synth swells swaying alongside hushed beats, while Ava puts her accomplished voice to work, slamming the dude who just isn't pulling his weight in their relationship. We're certainly looking forward to hearing more from this thrilling new talent. - DC
