KHAZALI COMFORT

Rising young Londoner Khazali makes the kind of music that conjures imagery of vast natural landscapes, like the sun setting over the sea in warmer climes. New single 'Comfort' lets the wanderlust set in, as bird sounds beckon house-y keys sounds and a subdued electronic kick that buries itself just under the skin. Speaking from a place of disconnect Khazali explains: “I close (new EP Going Home Vol. 1) on Comfort, which is where I began to fall back into old habits, I was almost watching myself in third person around the time I was writing this song. I tried to put it into words. Brian sent me these beautiful broken piano chords, and I broke into tears. I had my notepad, and I just left myself a note, a half-poem saying; ‘I can’t comfort you right now / Let the water wash you down’. I usually know how to comfort myself, but this time I didn’t. The track is also the perfect place to leave the EP, as the second mini EP begins at a point where I was just about to have a self revolution.” Get lost in the emotional outpouring of 'Comfort' here now. -Holly Mullineaux
