Hotly tipped rising star Eden Samara has returned with a smooth, catchy new single and an artistic, unique video which focuses its imagery on some creepy mannequins. ‘Robots’ is full of restrained, minimalist beats and basslines, allowing the Toronto-raised London-based vocalist to shine in centre stage. The chorus is catchy enough when we first hear it, but as the piece reaches its climax and various, perfectly-crafted melody lines intertwine, the track is transported to a new dimension. With songwriting of this calibre oozing from its first single, the upcoming Days EP is sure to be full of similar gems. - Dan Peeke
