Rhythm Section International - Cat No: RS055
- updated:2023-03-16
Clear, soaring R&B vocals paired with the influence of Afro-Caribbean diaspora music. Along these two axes, a wide span of genres — crossover, UKG, downtempo and more — is elevated into an energetic style all her own on this masterful record. Haitian-Canadian artist GAYANCE, the new talent that RHYTHM SECTION INTL. is pushing hard this season, makes her debut!

B4. MOON RISING (10 YEARS) (FT. JUDITH LITTLE D)

From tracks that call to mind the 2010s beat scene and West London — like "Clout Chaser's Anthem," which slams sweet R&B harmonies up against sharp broken beat/jungle — to the Brazilian-flavored percussive dancer "Moon Rising (10 Years) feat. Judith Little D." (sample2). Elsewhere she takes in and synthesizes styles from around the world such as gospel and blues, but the record was made above all under the strong influence of the African diaspora.
