LIST PICK
ZEN-ZIN & PAWCUT EYES WIDE OPEN
Sudanese MC/singer Zen-Zin and German producer Pawcut collaborate from different parts of the globe, but their music always manages to maintain a certain concordance. Zen-Zin lives and works in Khartum, the capital of Sudan, while Pawcut is producing his beats in a German town called Minden. Their new album Next Flight Ontario, is the follow up to their debut album Butterfly Effect on Jakarta Records. From the new album, 'Eyes Wide Open' is a gorgeous R&B track that sees organic jazz guitar combine with Zen-Zin's combination of song and rap, spread across a smooth and gentle production. The effortless hook sung by Zen-Zin 'eyes wide open, I'm still hoping' is particularly heart-warming. Check out the new track 'Eyes Wide Open' here. -Ellie Rose-Davies
