some flicks from my florida trip

New UK act ONUR arrives out of London with his debut single Beamin’, a charged swooner of a glittery electronica and incendiary R&B funk jam.  The 22 year old multi-instrumentalist, singer songwriter, and producer presents us with falsettos reminiscent of Prince, combined with Jack Garratt meets Ben Khan like bassy beats and funk curls. ONUR self wrote and produced the track, creating a finely textured collage of audio. Beamin’ evokes his longing to move forward onto new frontiers and his struggle with creeping away from old habits. “I had just broken up from an intensely long and serious relationship. The song is about moving on or at least, trying to, whilst the instrumental was also another reflection of how I was feeling. Yet, it all somehow felt very true to my sense of self at the time. Very lo-fi, very cranky, very out of line with what was deemed as acceptable and right,” explains the artist. Beamin’ will be the first of a collection of singles to be unveiled one by one every month and leading up to an EP to be showcased at the beginning of next year.
