Moving from dancefloor immediacy into dreamy ambient territory, here's an ambitious drop even by PRÍNCIPE standards! The debut album from XEXA, a sound artist born on Príncipe island off the west coast of Africa who studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. A fourth-world work blending fantastical ambient laced with vocals and wind instruments with Afro-rooted batida! Imaginative, ethereal pop at its core, crisscrossed by rhythmic percussion — a new frontier for Príncipe. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
