Ivory - Feelin' is out now!
🌍 https://lnk.to/Ivory_Feelin
On his debut album Feelin’, Ivory marries hi-tech sound design with the emotional pull of house for 10 tracks shaped by a multitude of club music and R&B. Album opener “Voices” infuses noirish melodrama with playful, pitch-shifted vocals that instantly lighten the mood. Next up, “Blank” draws from a similar blueprint, bolstered by low end pressure and ruptured rhythms.
“Feelin’” is a dancefloor slammer, a healthy balance of tension and release that comes with an invite to conquer the floor. Heating up the album’s core, Ivory works up an appetite for “I Need You Now”; a hulking warehouse cut built from barrelling, muscular kicks and a diced up diva house-esque vocal.
For “What I Do,” we are transported to a land of French touch with high-voltage basslines aplenty while the propulsive “Try” pulls the crowd back into room one for a huge, anthemic floor-filler underpinned by jagged synths.
The LP’s penultimate track “Steps” leans on swirling, pearlescent keys and a sweet, balearic-tinged melody before “I Know What You Want” offers the ultimate sign-off statement, slicing through the razor-sharp mesh of synthwork with dueling vocals and sparky beats.
