The latest single from Outside is ‘A New Beginning’, which comes alongside an atmospheric music video. From its beautiful piano and string opening, you have no real clue where this piece is going to go. Thick synth bass and a tight drum pattern soon take us in an entirely new direction without losing the warmth of the opening melodies. Its shape-shifting sound brings us towards the atmospheric and ethereal at points, before throwing us toward jazz influence with some beautiful chords and horn improvisation. On his unique approach, he simply says: “I’ve evolved the mixture of modern and retro. That’s the Outside sound.” The innovative artist’s new four-track EP, A New Beginning, is out now. -Dan Peeke.
