Alina Baraz, a 21 year
old Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter. I would say she is the next leading
vocalist of somewhat of a different sound.Her music is what you would call electronic
/ dance.
Alina while working underground
caught the attention of electronic musician Galimatias, who she found a
connection with through Sound Cloud after writing and recording her own lyrics
over one of his previously-released instrumentals, which would ultimately
become their first collaboration, entitled "Drift". Alina and
Galimatias started working on many other songs together, coming out with a
single called Make you Feel plus an EP, which includes Drift and Pretty
Thoughts. They even came up with the new single titled Fantasy, which appeared
on the EP Urban Flora this spring. All of these songs together for the Album
Urban Flora
Urban Flora is the name
of her first album. The music on their Urban
Flora EP kind of sounds like easy-listening R&B soundtrack. On the album
there are many songs about possession, obsession and the shortcomings of
infatuation, set to a perfect, dreamily slow down tempo designed to give you thoughts
about nature of desire. It all works very well together.
Fantasy
– which has already gotten over 18 million plays across Sound cloud, Spotify
and YouTube. The music is said to have a sound like a, “ Mariah Carey’s
song of the same name slowed to 18rpm, chopped and screwed, more sedated
than seductive.” . “Take me to a place, where there’s no time, no space,” sang Baraz,
referring to the dangerously rarefied air you breathe when you’re in love.
Unfold displays Baraz’s voice at somewhat of a whisper and her w view of love “The
kind … we can’t control”, (which is actually one of my favorite lines) over
Galimatias’s delicately nice music. Maybe is a song about deceit and devotion
to an unwilling partner. By Can I, is really a song about pleasing the one you
love in my opinion. “Each track is a slight variation on the template, with
sufficient differences to sustain your interest, although this might be the
EP’s prettily poignant peak: think Cassie and Ciara slipping R&B’s moorings
and drifting to the moon (“If I told you I could give you life, would you leave
the boundaries of your mind?”). “Pretty Thoughts, with it is really very
soothing in its sound Finally, Drift is just interesting enough to keep wanting
more in my opinion. I personally enjoy her music it is very
mellow but at the same time it can make you move.Recently she has a hit single called Electric which is one of my new favorites.
