Genre-defying artist and producer RJ Pasin has teamed up with pop vocalist Sophie Powers to drop ‘XO’. It’s a cinematic track that establishes an addictive electronic soundscape from the outset. It’s both groovy and laid-back simultaneously, with Powers’ voice perfectly sitting above the accompaniment, even when it drifts in the direction of glitchy, distorted breakdowns. Sophie Powers says: “Working with RJ Pasin unlocked this wild sonic tension I’ve been chasing for a while. It’s the sound of me stepping into womanhood, claiming my power, and still recklessly chasing chaos like it’s love. As Hannah Montana said, sometimes you really do get the best of both worlds—and this song is proof.” You can catch her live in the UK and USA this summer. -Dan Peeke
