The debut album of this young producer, singer, and songwriter from Brisbane, Australia, 'Cloak' is one of the best episodes of 2016 in rhythm and blues and soul music. Mixed with elements of acid jazz, 'Talk To Me' could actually sound like Marvin Gaye would sound if he were still alive, and dubstep, 'Lost Myself' is a song that could probably make Thom Yorke or James Blake look pale with envy. Surfing track by track, you could levitate because you're entering another state of gravity. Less of a kiss ass than Jamiroquai were in the nineties era, but no less catchy for his ability to write good melodies, this guy seems to be very talented as he combines pop tones with a kaleidoscopic, freaky, and meditative taste that makes this album a little jewel in your collection. Give it a listen and more, because one listen is not going to be enough.
