Heavy Roc Music do it again. And again. And again. Off the back of a roster of talent such as 'The Knocks', Alex Winston, Samuel and even more recently 'St. Lucia', comes 'One Room', swaggering into the music world without much more than a loop of piano and all those questions. All that we can decipher is that there are links to Samuel (is that him on the hook?), DJ B-Roc and producer Chris-P. As for the song, 'I Want You', it's a minimalist's dream, said piano spinning around drunkenly, ghostly drum beats being scattered amongst the vocals. The lyrics contrast with the production, the softness being sucked away from the song with the talk of nightmares, and the revelation that his relationship is cracking, based solely on lust. And despite this harshness, the sense that this could just be a dark dream rings throughout. The rest of the EP is out soon, and hopefully more of his/their story will be told. And no doubt there will be grasps at comparisons with 'The Weeknd', but for now this should stand on its own until more is unveiled.
There is also falsetto. It isn't a song if there is no falsetto.
