London-based vocalist Jareth, who has quite a few collaborations to her name, finally drops her debut single as a lead artist. An impressive debut, I might add, and one that’s not easy to pigeonhole.

Kaleidoscope sits somewhere between analogue and digital; between soul and trip hop. It has a dreamy atmosphere, created by stripped back percussion, soft spiralling keys and especially a warm and intense vocal performance. Imagine Massive Attack covering Riders On The Storm with Dua Lipa on guest vocals.

An intriguing first glimpse at Jareth’s forthcoming EP Moonchild.
