LIST PICK

A. K. PAUL LANDCRUISIN'

Teasing with the fantastically hypnotic ‘BTSTU’ in 2011 and yet again with its stunning counterpart ‘Jasmine’ one year later, 2016 sees songwriter/producer Jai Paul join forces with his brother A.K.Paul on the aptly named new project ‘Paul Institute’. A.K. Paul has already worked behind the scenes for notable artists like Big Boi, Jessie Ware and NAO however, equally as elusive as his sibling, ‘Landcruisin’ marks the first release for A.K. Paul. Described by Zane Lowe as “Blade Runner pop”, the track is smothered with delectable Prince-like vocals and fractured synths to create one hell of a silky debut. Bound to be an innovate exploration of modern funk, soul and r&b, sign yourself up to Paul Institute before the pioneering double act disappear. -JE
