We found ourselves in awe of BERWYN's direct Jools Holland debut 'Glory' back in June. Coming back with another poignant cut, the London-based artist's refreshing honesty shines through once again on '017 FREESTYLE'. Cradled by gorgeous piano chords, aggressively auto-tuned backing vocals add a soulful yet unobtrusive layer, which allows BERWYN's straight-up lyricism to hold focus. Speaking of structural boundaries resulting in missed opportunities and a perpetuated cycle of systemic racism, '017 FREESTYLE' is emotional and unfiltered, capturing a sense of frustration and hopelessness through BERWYN''s increasingly distressing vocal delivery. BERWYN's debut LP DEMOTAPE/VEGA arrives today. -Holly Mullineaux
