Kingdom / Catch / Commotion (single)

 

Artist: Shuanise
Eglo Records
RRP: £3.99?
Available 25 January 2010


UK star Shuanise has been turning heads and getting noticed with her individual tones of hip hop, soul, gospel, jazz and pop all thrown together in a whirlwind kind of romance.

After travelling the world, sourcing beats, Shuanise can now be found spending all of her time at Eglo records building on the success from her critically acclaimed 'Voice of Reason' EP.

Back once again, with a cheeky limited 7”, Shuanise gives us a taster of what's in store for 2010.

'Kingdom' has an emotional beat and sound with its scratchy old style vinyl sound. The vocals keep it real and this tune tugs at the heartstrings. An emotional track with a melodic chorus.

'Catch' is a slow starter, but once it gets going the vocals are mellow yet strong and the beat is sharp.

The whispery airy vocals mixed with spoken word in 'Commotion' make this track stand out from others. Unfortunately this is too short, I had just got into it when it finished.

I feel a little robbed on this release, is it a single? An EP? Or a promo for what 2010 holds? I can't help feel a little disappointed as the length of these tracks are way too short to warrant parting with my hard earned cash. It's a shame as the sound is quality!
