Release Date: Out Now
Egyptian/Belgian artist Tamino has one of the single most
enchanting voices around so I urge you to turn the lights down low, turn your
phone off and let this one wash over you. ‘Cigar’ opens with some haunting
tones before a slow acoustic strum is eclipsed by Tamino’s vocal, something
akin to a slow rolling boulder made of dark chocolate covered in velvet. At
times, it feels as though we’re running on low battery, such is the drawn out
drawl of Tamino but as the song builds to a Hozier-esque crescendo, you can’t
help but be swept up in the luxurious grandeur and effortless elegance of this
single. I was utterly side swiped by this song and the vocal of Tamino and I
hope you will be to – if you like it then check out his Nick Cave-esque cover
of ‘I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor’ on Youtube too, it’s a treat.
