Akiine // Destiny

Maybe it's the effervescent production or the sleek vocal delivery, but there's something about the latest track from Sweden's Akiine that sounds like it was specifically born from some dim lit nights spent with a few Aaliyah and Timbaland collabs. Shifting from the tranquil pop moods of her debut EP, Horses on A Beach, the mystifying shroud enveloping "Destiny" puts a new focus on Akiine's blossoming style, revealing that she is a musical chameleon that's full of surprises waiting to be heard. After recently signing to Brooklyn's Color Station and joining the likes of Bewilderbeast & su.na, it looks like Akiine is poised to become a name to familiarize yourself with, and just like the title of her track implies, it was clearly something meant to be.
