We first crossed paths with Missouri artist Khai at the start of September, when his excellent EP cut, 'Do You Go Up' started catching fire on the blogs and rose to the top of the Hype Machine charts. We're being treated to more similarly sweet pop-soul from Khai this week, with another glossy track drawn from If You, called 'Into The Dark'. Without straying too far from the winning formula struck upon on 'Do You Go Up', Khai keeps all eyes locked on him with a combination of simmering synths and punchy programmed beats supporting a honeysweet vocal performance. A very special newcomer indeed. - DC
