LORAINE JAMES MAYBE IF I (STAY ON IT)

The ambitious mind of masterful electronic musician Loraine James has been focussing its efforts on an exciting new project that pays tribute to the late minimalist composer Julius Eastman. On Build Something Beautiful For Me James “reinterprets, reimagines, and responds” to Eastman's works using vital insight from his brother Gerry Eastman, making for a truly special listening experience. Gently introducing us with 'Maybe If I (Stay On It)', laid-back vocals ghost the mix as smooth synthesizers scale bright sequences atop of an intricate web of electronically-generated beats. Set for release via Phantom Limb on the 7th of October, coinciding with an undoubtedly unmissable performance on the 2nd at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Southbank Centre, Loraine James continues to impress, enchant and intrigue us here at TMR. -Holly Mullineaux
