| Ursa Major - Dusk |
Release Date: Out Now
A Toronto teenager who goes the
name of Ursa Major and describes himself as "Psychedelic R&B, a middle
ground between the sounds of the past and the production of the future",
you say? Bit claims and a high pedestal to fall from....potentially. Musically
this starts with a dark, foreboding bass drone soon followed by some sexy but
cold beats and some surprisingly soulful vocals. As 'Dusk' unfolds it just
racks up point upon point on the 'surprisingly impressed-o-meter' (patent
pending) partly for the quality of the production and partly because of the
maturity behind this tune. I can see a lot of people jumping on this band wagon
that mixes the panache of Justin Timberlake, the edge of Boards of Canada and
the mass appeal of Ed Sheeran. What shines through though is the soul at the
heart of this tune, however, with the vocals, staccato flute and faded strings
all adding to the overall charm. Stick around on that pedestal Ursa Major,
you've earned your place.
