 Blue Work Rainbow Skin Not letting the lockdown stop them, London electronic group Blue Work have been recording their latest album since February 2020. The self-titled record will soon be available on all streaming services. This new single is taken from the record and is already being enjoyed on radio and net all over the world. Emotional vocals sing in human tones along a wavery synthesiser drone that hangs and drifts with spacious reverb. Rhythm rises, bass and drum tears a groove in the mix and sets an upbeat tone. The vocals continue in a story of words that muse and evoke meaning behind the lyrics. Synthesiser begins to build, new tones and strange voices build in abstract and strange combinations. Dancing drums settle with artistic chords and mutations of familiar sound.

Wolves Chris Conroy's previous singles Sink or Swim and Dive have both propelled the artist into radio and social media fame, thanks to his great songwriting talent. Taken from the forthcoming EP with the same name, Wolves is a song about two lovers who have a different future.

It opens with a swaying oceanic melody that's followed by a smooth acoustic guitar. Close and personal vocals resonate across and through the composition as subtle harmonies vibe on the minor key. Personal and melancholy feelings swirl in a slow fog as the melody builds with underlying chords. Moving on is hard, the mental image we cling to has become a fantasy that prevents us from seeing the truth.
