LIST PICK
KING HENRY MOMENT
Increasingly, the producers, songwriters and beatmakers behind some of the industry’s most successful tracks are coming the fore, showing listeners exactly what they’re missing by skipping the small-print credit. One such talent is King Henry, who co-produced Major Lazer’s mega hits ‘Know No Better’ and ‘Cold Water’. Less than a year ago, the Los Angeles resident took to SoundCloud to make his solo debut as King Henry with ‘Gold Dust’, a beat-driven piece of sultry dance pop that has been followed up by a string a highly-skilled electronic tracks, including brand new serving ‘Moment’. Inviting the subdued, soulful voice of Rhye to the table, King Henry forms a dreamy texture of airy vocal effects and minimalist alt-R&B beats. It’s sophisticated and sexy and pretty much everything we could want from a collaboration from these two distinct talents. - HT
