With their latest offering ‘So I Stay’, London duo 4AM KRU take an intriguing left turn into new territory.
Joining forces with Mancunian singer-songwriter Salo, they deftly craft a lush soundscape that envelops the listener. Underpinned by solid breakbeats and throbbing bass, Salo’s sublime Georgian-inspired vocals glide effortlessly over off-kilter rhythms.
This is jungle reimagined and reinvigorated – familiar tropes cast aside for courageous experimentation. Sweeping strings and tender piano inject warmth and humanity amidst the rumbling jungle breaks. The pair exhibit masterful restraint, allowing Salo’s rich harmonies to take centre stage rather than bombarding the listener.
Far from the fury of the dancefloor, ‘So I Stay’ captivates with its stunning musicality.
